As the exclusive alcoholic beverage partner, Orijin Nigeria brought the celebration to life with the Orijinal Festival Village — a vibrant, non-stop immersion of music, tradition, and unforgettable vibes. It wasn’t just a space; it was a soulful tribute to roots, rhythm, and revelry.
Each day came with its own flavour, theme, and superstar lineup. Whether you were grooving to live music, sipping on herb-infused Orijin cocktails, or catching your best photo or video angles at the 360 booths, the Orijinal Festival Village was the place to be and every night had a unique flavour:
Each night brought its own flavour and energy, woven around unique themes that shaped the rhythm of the Orijinal Festival Village. The first two nights, Faaji Night, were all about fun, flavour, and highlife, kicking off with the legendary Saheed Osupa whose Fuji beats turned the village into one massive dancefloor delivering to huge acclaim culturally resonant songs and some of his mostly performed numbers such as Olaju De, I remember when I was nobody and Bread and Beans (Were po nile).
Cultural Night followed on Friday and Saturday, grounding the vibe in tradition and roots. Abeg Awesome took the stage on Friday with Afrobeat fire and youthful rhythm, while Saturday saw 9ice, known for his remarkable use of the Yoruba language in his music and his proverbial lyrics and unique style of delivery, delivered hit after hit such as Street Credibility, Gongo and Party Rider and more with that unmistakable raspy bass voice, every beat a tribute to heritage, every chorus felt deep in the bones of the crowd.
The stars didn’t just take the stage, they owned it, delivering electrifying performances that had the crowd dancing deep into the night. Add traditional dancers and live bands to the mix, and the energy in the Orijinal Festival Village was nothing short of explosive.
But it wasn’t just the performers bringing the heat, the audience came ready. Dance competitions turned into showdowns, with men and women putting their best moves on full display to the delight of cheering fans.
Each day brought excitement with raffle draws lighting up the village, lucky winners walked away with everything from cartons of Indomie noodles and Power Oil packs to other essential goodies. The highlight? One ecstatic attendee won a 15-inch flat-screen TV, simply for showing up and turning up with Orijin.
Heritage in Every Sip. Culture in Every Beat
