Rap star M.I Abaga now known as ‘The Guy’ has announced the return of TASCK music festival.
The event will see creatives, civil society organisations and private sectors come together to encourage young Nigerians to participate in the 2023 elections.
Taking place from 29th September to 2nd October 2022, renowned artistes from across the continent will storm Lagos for a fascinating festival combining music, culture, lifestyle, and social impact.
After a stellar debut in 2021, the festival is back and better than ever with a variety of incredible events, such as a panel discussion with conversations about creatives using their platform for change and a networking session.
Creatives will be invited to discuss their social projects for potential funding, as well as a world wide live stream concert honouring Nigeria’s independence day with some of the biggest musical acts including Waje and Tomi Owo.
The festival will have more than just entertaining activities; in collaboration with Battle Rap Africa, it will also host a Block party which will feature the infamous Blaqbonez as the headlining act.
Up and coming rappers will be given the opportunity to show off their skills at the concert.
A cookout which will include food and live performances by M.I. and several of his well-known friends will also be part of the festival.
“Nigeria is not ready for this festival! Where have we seen an event where we’re bringing up and coming artistes, A-list artistes, activists, tech guys, private sector guys all together in the same space to have conversations, eat, party, and create change?
“I mean it’s unheard of. We’re giving young creatives a platform to shine and at the same time we’re telling people to go out and vote”, says CEO of TASCK, ‘The Guy.’
The event will give creatives the opportunity to utilize their platform as a means to drive social impact.
In keeping with the ongoing #vote4Nigeria and #iregistered campaigns, creatives will use their influence to encourage audiences to collect their PVC’s and vote in the upcoming 2023 elections.
TASCK went on to announce that the IMF will also take place in Jos, Plateau at a later date with a lineup that will have some of the most exciting names in the industry, from international superstars to homegrown talents.
