Speaking on the concert, founder of Industry Nite,
Matthew Ohio said: ‘Industry Nite will continually
seek unique opportunities to ensure that Nigerian
music is recognised globally. ‘This year our goal is to
take Nigerian music to every Nigerian irrespective of
location. I’m always keen on promoting our music beyond this shores.
So Dubai is going to be our first
port of call in a series of foreign cities we intend touring this year. We are taking major Nigerian acts
around the US, Europe and Asia this year. These
tours will also feature international acts from across
Africa and America, creating a cultural exchange that will help African music get mainstream attention,’ he said.
Over the years, Industry Nite, which takes place every
Wednesday, has played host to the likes of 2face,
Dbanj, The Mavins, MI, Iyanya, Waje to mention a few.
