Trench Symphony’s debut held in Q4 2025 officially opened the concert and live experiences season in Nigeria and broke new ground as Nigeria’s first full-orchestra street music concert. Building on the success of the first edition, Trench Symphony returns this Detty December season with even greater energy, creativity, and cultural depth, as Dapper Live takes the lead in creating fun and memorable festive-season experiences.

According to Damilola “Akinwunmi” Dapper, CEO of Dapper Group:

“Trench Symphony was created to redefine live music experiences in Nigeria, bridging the gap between the streets and the stage, between culturally rich sounds like Fuji and the vibrant pulse of Afrobeats. This edition continues that journey, celebrating music that unites generations and backgrounds.”

As Lagos prepares to welcome visitors and Nigerians returning from the diaspora for the festive season, Trench Symphony promises to be a standout celebration of homegrown sound and culture set to bring together music lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and holidaymakers for an unforgettable night that bridges tradition, innovation, and the shared joy of Detty December in Lagos.
