End of year concerts in Lagos have a typical format; Artists find the largest venue that a promoter can offer and sell tickets or/and get a sponsor who would tap into their influence to consolidate their brand. It’s a strategy that is seldom meddled with. It takes a lot more to chew up this template and create a new path. No one reinvents the wheel. No one except Adekunle Gold.
