The holiday season is officially here and MultiChoice Africa is getting into the
festive spirit with the launch of the Nigerian Festivals pop-up channel
on DStv and GOtv platforms.
From Friday, 04 December
until Saturday, 02 January 2016, all DStv and GOtv subscribers will be treated
to the Nigerian Festivals pop-up channel, a channel dedicated to
showcasing four Nigerian music festivals this season. This will be the second
holiday pop-up channel coming on the heels of, Hoolee, a fun children’s
holiday channel that went live on 01 December on DStv Premium, Compact Plus and
Compact packages.
Subscribers on DStv
Premium, Compact Plus, Compact, Family and Access bouquets and on GOtv Plus will
get a front row view of Nigeria’s hottest music festivals from the comfort of
their own homes on DStv channel 198 and GOtv Plus channel 29.
The festival extravaganza
will kick off with an exciting coverage of The Experience Music
and Worship gospel concert from 04 - 05 December. Billed as ‘the
most awaited gospel music concert in the whole of Africa’, The tenth edition of
The Experience is anticipated to be a grand one with some big name ministers
like Sonnie
Badu, Don Moen, Sammie Okposo, Micah Stampley, Chioma Jesus, Midnight
Crew and LMGC
due to bring their ministries to the crowd. DStv and GOtv
subscribers will get an opportunity to enjoy the gospel music concert alongside
the 600 000 worshippers expected to attend the concert in Lagos,
Nigeria.
Then on the 19 to 21
December, the channel will cover the seventh edition of the Akwa Ibom
Christmas Concert. Last year, viewers watched as the Akwa Ibom
State choir broke the Guinness world record for the largest number of Christmas
carol singers in the world with its 25 272 member-choral group! Can they top
last year’s record-breaking performance? Stay tuned to the channel
to see just what the choir has up their sleeves.
From the 26 to 31
December, the pop-up channel will air the 11th anniversary of ‘Africa’s Biggest
Street Party’, the Calabar Grand Carnival which takes place on the
streets of the Cross River State. Once again, subscribers will get to enjoy a
musical concert featuring top Nigerian artists plus a dazzling parade of
colourful costumes, creative dance moves, elaborate floats and imaginative
interpretations of this year’s theme Celebration Time.
The on-screen festivities
will culminate in the One Lagos Fiesta to the New Year from 31
December to 02 January 2016 where viewers will join the city of Lagos as it
counts down to 2016 with a massive concert featuring the hottest Nigerian
artists and a spectacular fireworks display. Last year saw over 200 000 people
gather to usher in the New Year with a series of
exhilarating musical performances from some of Nigeria’s biggest names such as
2face, D’banj, Wizkid, M.I, Seyi Shay, Omawumi, Patoranking, and
more. This
year is expected to be even bigger and better and our subscribers will have an
all-access pass to watch the festivities on their screens.
