The pulse of “Detty December” just got significantly faster. Flytime Promotions, the organizers behind West Africa’s most consistent concert series, have officially announced global superstar Rema as the headliner for Rhythm Unplugged 2025.
The concert is set to take place on Sunday, December 21st, at the iconic Eko Convention Center, solidifying its place as a cornerstone event of the holiday season.
The announcement poster, featuring a moody, metallic-styled image of Rema with the caption “FROM NIGERIA TO THE WORLD,” signals a triumphant homecoming for the artist who has spent the last year dominating global charts with hits like “Calm Down” and “Hehehe.”
Rema’s headlining slot is a powerful statement. It places him at the forefront of a legacy that began in 2004, when Cecil Hammond, CEO of the Flytime Group, launched the first Rhythm Unplugged. Over two decades, the concert has evolved into a cultural institution, consistently bridging the gap between Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, and R&B by featuring a mix of homegrown titans and international stars.

Fans can expect a high-octane performance that blends Rema’s signature “Afrorave” sound with the festive energy that defines Lagos in December. The event, powered by Coca-Cola, promises to be a sonic journey through the artist’s catalogue, from his breakout trap-influenced hits to his current status as an experimental global pop icon.
With tickets now available exclusively on Cene, the rush to secure a spot at the Eko Convention Center is expected to be intense. As the poster boldly asks, “Is this mic on?”—Lagos is ready to answer with a resounding yes.
