Legendary American R&B group, Shalamar is set to thrill Nigerian fans with a special live performance in Abuja on October 4, 2025, as part of the celebrations marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence anniversary.
The concert, organized by iCreate Africa in partnership with First Culture Limited, will take place at the International Conference Centre and promises to be a nostalgic night of timeless classics.
Shalamar, known for evergreen hits like “A Night to Remember” and “I Can Make You Feel Good,” was one of the most successful soul and dance groups of the late 70s and 80s. The Abuja concert will be the group’s first major performance in Nigeria, and organizers say it aims to bridge generations by bringing together long-time fans and younger audiences who have recently discovered their music on streaming platforms and social media.
Speaking on the upcoming event, the organizers noted that music is one of the strongest unifiers, and hosting Shalamar in Nigeria during Independence season underscores the importance of cultural exchange. The concert is expected to draw music lovers from across the country, and ticket sales are already generating buzz in entertainment circles. With supporting acts yet to be unveiled, anticipation is building for what many are calling one of the most exciting shows of 2025.
