“The pandemic may rage on but the music must keep playing,” said the ‘Make Music Lagos’ 2020 organising committee, comprising of Showgear and its partners, as they announced the schedule of events for Make Music Lagos 2020 as part of the buildup to the upcoming celebrations of World Music Day in Lagos which will run for a week from Monday June 16 to Monday June 22. Make Music Lagos, which is now in its fifth year of existence, is going to be exclusively online for the first time following the restrictions on large public gatherings by the Lagos State government. On Sunday, June 21, which is World Music Day, Make Music Lagos is going to be hosting a variety of free online music events to get the music fans super excited. In the past, these beats would have been made on the streets of Lagos as part of the ‘street studio’ events. There are also the Make Music Lagos concerts, hosted in collaboration with partners, which will give many fast-rising acts the opportunity to perform to large audiences on YouTube and Instagram.
