From Lagos To The US
After holding 14 editions here in Lagos, Nigeria, the Headies is moving to the US. During the press conference held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, the organisers revealed that this year’s event will be held at the Cobb Energy Performance Arts Centre, Atlanta, Georgia. It holds on July 2, 2022, in partnership with the US consulate. The theme for this year is “Join The Movement.”
Mic Check
The Headies is launching a talent show called ‘Mic Check’ for the first time to find the next big thing. According to organisers, Mic Check promises to produce “an instant superstar.”. Talented people from all over the country have a chance to submit their entries but only one music act will be crowned winner. Submissions for the 15th headies start on the 8th March and end in April.
Next Rated Winner Gets A Bentley
The ‘NEXT RATED’ is the most anticipated Headies category because it is a perfect opportunity for upcoming artists who get to take home an award and a car. However, this year’s winner is getting a major upgrade as the car prize for the 15 edition is a 2022 Bentley Bentayga.

Seven new categories have been added this year which means the 15th edition will have 32 categories. The categories added are;
