November 11, (THEWILL) – This December, Grammy Award-winning DJ Black Coffee makes a grand return to Lagos for a 12-hour Afro house and Electronic music experience, featuring an increasingly electrifying lineup, including Rampa, Massuma, Ape Drums, Awen, Caiiro x Enoo Napa, etc.

Black Coffee was in Lagos earlier in April, and the rave heads had the time of their lives.

This time, M:E Entertainment and Dapo Awofisayo have just announced their ‘THIS IS ME’ show, bringing back the star DJ as headliner next month.

They expect a crowd of 5,000; how realistic that is remains the big question.
