The Headies Awards, one of Nigeria’s most renowned music awards, will return for its 17th edition.
This follows the previous two editions of the Awards, which were held in the United States.
In their “come back” statement on Instagram, the organizers stated that they are returning the globe to the birthplace of the sound that has brought everyone to the dance floor.
The Headies Awards have helped promote the Nigerian music industry.
The organizers, however, have yet to choose a date for the awards, which will recognize achievements in the business over the previous year.
Read the full statement below:
Over the past few years, Afrobeats—as music and as a movement—has exploded beyond our shores and beyond our dreams. Our songs have recorded billions of streams and sat comfortably on some of the world’s biggest charts. Our music is the soundtrack to millions of videos online. Our stars have sold out the biggest arenas even as African collaborations do insane numbers.
The Headies followed the music in honour of this explosion. As the event that recognised the arrival of our major music talents way before they conquered the world, we understand the importance of taking the good news of great music to new frontiers. So, the 2022 and 2023 editions of The Headies held in the US.. The world got a chance to see our global stars and our future stars like.
This year—2024—we are bringing the world back home: To the place that birthed the sound that has led everbody to the dancefloor, that has launched viral videos, that has put our continent right at the centre of global pop culture.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Headies is coming back home. More details soon.
