ABOUT TIME!!! Nigeria To Host 2024 Headies Awards
The 17th edition of The Headies Awards will be held in Nigeria, the organizers announced.
Naijaloaded reports that the previous Headies Award event, the 2022 and 2023 editions, were held in the United States.
However, the organisers made a ‘come back’ announcement on Wednesday, declaring through a post on their Instagram page that they are bringing the show “back home.”
The statement read:
“Over the past few years, Afrobeats—as music and as a movement—has exploded beyond our shores and beyond our dreams. Our songs have recorded billions of streams and sat comfortably on some of the world’s biggest charts,” the statement reads.
“Our music is the soundtrack to millions of videos online. Our stars have sold out the biggest arenas even as African collaborations do insane numbers. The Headies followed the music in honour of this explosion.
“As the event that recognised the arrival of our major music talents way before they conquered the world, we understand the importance of taking the good news of great music to new frontiers. So, the 2022 and 2023 editions of The Headies held in the US.
“The world got a chance to see our global stars and our future stars. This year—2024— we are bringing the world back home. To the place that birthed the sound that has led everybody to the dancefloor, that has launched viral videos, that has put our continent right at the centre of global pop culture.
“Ladies and gentlemen, The Headies is coming back home. More details soon.”
