Introducing: Day Breeze, The Cultural Reset In Nigeria’s Party Scene

What is the underlined concept driving Day Breeze?

Day Breeze is a cultural reset in Nigeria’s party scene—blending music, tourism, and a love forauthentic vibes. It’s a rooftop music festival that brings together the coolest, most free-spiritedindividuals to experience city and seaside views, high-energy music, and a welcoming atmosphere. The concept is simple: strip away the pretensions of overpriced drinks, bummervibes, and rigid rules, and replace them with community, connection, and carefree fun. It’s about redefining how we party by focusing on the music, the people, and the moment—nocomplications, just vibes. Day Breeze is a product of two entertainment giants, Percentage Club- led by Lawal Hardcore and global Afrobeats DJ, Crowd Kontroller.

In such a short time, how has Day Breeze been able to announce itself as a staplecommunity building event that now boasts impressive public and celebrity turnout?

The secret is our Community First approach. By putting the community first, we’ve built a vibethat feels fresh and authentic. Whether it’s through engaging social media storytelling,affordable access, or our electric atmosphere, Day Breeze has become a movement thatresonates deeply with anyone looking to party without pretense. It’s not just an event—it’s a lifestyle shift, and the city has noticed.

So far, how many Editions of Day Breeze have been held?

Four, so far. September 8th, October 6th, November 3rd & December 8th.

The Day Breeze experience is a mix of unforgettable moments, vibrant energy, and curated fun,divided into two distinct phases: Sets and Experiences.

Experiences: From the moment you arrive, you’re immersed in a world of lifestyle and leisure.Brand exhibition centers, lifestyle activations, and food vendors line the venue, offeringeverything from delicious refreshments to trendy pop-ups. Every corner is designed to keep youenergized and entertained, ensuring there’s something for every Breezer

Sets: The music is where the magic happens, and at Day Breeze, we call it Sets. The sets aredivided into two unique vibes:

  • Daylight Sets (2 PM – 7 PM): The Daylight vibe is all about ease and connection.Entry during these hours is free, and you’ll find people partying up close with our DJs to arotation of Afro-house, House, and Hip-Hop music. The setting is bright, airy, and perfect forsoaking in those breezy rooftop views.
  • Twilight Sets (7 PM – 12 AM): As the sun sets, the energy rises. The Twilight setkicks off, turning the atmosphere electric with Afrobeats and Amapiano. Entry during this setrequires a ticket, and it’s worth every moment. This is where things get wild, high-energy, and unforgettable.

By the end of the festival (12 AM sharp), the magic isn’t just about the music—it’s about thecommunity. Whether you’re a fun lover, a creative, or a celebrity mingling with the crowd, DayBreeze ensures you leave with a full heart, new friends, and stories you’ll keep telling.
