The much talked about Lagos Crossover Concert has come and gone, leaving behind memories that will linger for a very long time.
Organized
by the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA), it was the
very first of its kind and, with Nigeria’s premium lager beer, Star,
stepping in as a major sponsor of the programme, much was expected from
the concert which was held on 31st December 2012, the eve of the New
Year.
It wasn’t just about ending the outgoing year in grand
style, it was also about ushering in the New Year in a unique way. The
event featured more than 15 electrifying musical performances from some
of the biggest names in the Nigerian music industry including 2Face
Idibia, Iyanya, Olamide, Davido, Banky W, Tiwa Sawage, Omawumi, D’Prince
, MI, Brymo, Dare, W4 and a host of others.
Other artistes that
performed at the event included the 2012 winners of Star Quest –
Crystals, Kel, Solid Star, DRB, Tunde Ednut, Orezi, Omo Akin, Pheel,
Reminiscence, Eva, Flow Sick and others.
According to Yusuf
Ageni, the Corporate Adviser of Nigerian Breweries Plc, the Lagos
Crossover Concert was a unique way of saying goodbye to the old year and
ushering in the New Year.
“It’s been quite a year for Nigerians,
as well as Star, Nigerian’s premium lager beer. Just as Nigeria is still
forging on, in spite of all the challenges she has had to go through,
Star is also moving on to greater heights.
That was why we decided
to partner with Lagos State to say goodbye to the wonderful moments of
2012 and welcome 2013 with a positive outlook,” Ageni stated.
