Here’s my rewrite of the article:
Get ready, Lagos! A groundbreaking fusion of raw talent and pure musicianship is about to transform your live music experience. Encore, the revolutionary new concert series launching this October, promises to showcase Afrobeats like you’ve never heard it before.
While Afrobeats has conquered global charts and dominated social media trends, something magical happens when you strip away the backing tracks and let pure musical talent take center stage. That’s exactly what Encore aims to deliver – authentic, band-backed performances that bring your favorite hits to life in thrilling new ways.
The inaugural edition is bringing together an explosive lineup at Trib3 Lagos. Rising star ShineTTW, whose soulful tracks like “TIME” and “Aunty Mary” have earned him over 400,000 monthly listeners, will demonstrate why he’s becoming one of Nigeria’s most compelling voices. He’ll be joined by the electrifying Mavo, whose street-smart anthems “Shakabulizzy” and “CONFE$$” have made him a voice of Nigeria’s youth movement.
But here’s where it gets even more interesting – backing these talented artists will be none other than the legendary MaskTunes Band, known for their work with Afrobeats superstar Wizkid and vocal powerhouse Johnny Drille. Their presence guarantees each performance will be elevated to new heights through live instrumentation.
This isn’t just another concert – it’s an intimate musical conversation between artists and audience. The dress code is “vibe-forward, performance-ready,” setting the stage for an evening where every attendee is part of the experience.
Mark your calendars for Friday, October 17, 2025, at 7:30 PM. The venue is the sophisticated Trib3 Lagos in Victoria Island. Space is limited and RSVP is required through lagosencore.com.
As Lagos continues to cement its position as Africa’s entertainment capital, Encore arrives at the perfect moment to showcase how Afrobeats can evolve beyond digital streams into compelling live performances. This could be the start of a new chapter in Nigerian live music – one where authenticity and musicianship take center stage.
