Une-50 climate concert unites Nigerian artistes in Abuja to inspire climate action and industry reform through music. Johnny Drille, Faze, others to perform
Top Nigerian artistes including Johnny Drille, Faze, Slowdog, Skido, and Stoner Nwaigbo are billed to perform this Friday in Abuja at the Une-50 and His Eagle’s Concert, a climate-focused music event blending entertainment with advocacy.
Organised by House of Structure, the Une-50 climate concert is the evening highlight of a two-part programme that also features the Nigerian Music Industry Summit and Showcase, taking place earlier in the day.
The initiative is led by Abuja-based lawyer Ugochukwu Uneabunso, with Amudi Chioma Felistas serving as technical advisor.
The summit, themed “The Role of Nigerian Artistes in Promoting Climate Action and Revolutionizing Revenue Generation Channels of the Nigerian Music Industry”, aims to explore how artistes can shape sustainability within their craft and income streams.
“This is not just about entertainment,” said Uneabunso.
“We are using this platform to bring attention to serious issues such as climate change, while also discussing sustainable ways the music industry can grow and benefit artistes.”
The morning session will feature keynote speeches and a panel discussion with industry and climate experts.
Felistas noted that the summit will explore how artistes can be both creators and change-makers.
We want to give people an unforgettable experience while also sparking important conversations within the industry.
“The morning session is where we bring experts to the table to look at how Nigerian artistes can do more than entertain, how they can lead climate conversations and drive innovation in revenue creation,” she said.
The evening will be dedicated to live music and comedy performances, offering what organisers call a unique blend of “entertainment with purpose.”
According to Felistas, artistes were carefully selected to represent different generations and genres.
“We’ve ensured that everyone in attendance finds something they connect with,” she said.
Interest in the Une-50 climate concert is building, with ticket sales reportedly moving quickly.
“We’ve seen encouraging support from stakeholders who are buying tickets in bulk, which shows the level of excitement around the concert,” Uneabunso added.
The event coincides with the global celebration of World Music Day and is expected to attract music lovers, policymakers, industry professionals, and climate advocates.
