Our good friends at Culture Custodian are organizing their first ever festival and we're pretty excited to be part of it in our own little way. CC have been a partner for our Festival since the very first one so we're kinda glad they reached out with their own Festival.

The vibe reminds me a lot of SXSW and pioneered those rocks in college because I loved live music. We're  giving away free tickets and a couple food vouchers. To enter, just drop a line in the comments or on Twitter letting us know which artists you're trying to see at Culture Custodian Day Festival.

Regular tickets cost N2500 while VIP tickets cost N4500. You can get tickets HERE.

One big thing this Christmas has been the abundance of alté shows. Can't recall a December that has had this many "indie" musicians headlining their own shows. Maybe there has and no one has told me, but this December feels very much like a big step in the growth of the local industry. Nobody personifies that growth more than Wizkid. Therefore, this week's playlist is Wizkid themed. It's only right.

EAT.DRINK.NOK

NOK has a couple of things lined up for the long weekend as they're hellbent on being the only place we spend our money this Christmas.

Thank NOK it's Friday

New DJ this week - The Kemist. If you haven't been to NOK on a Friday, this is the best time to pop your cherry. Get a couple of friends and split a platter in the garden.

Christmas Brunch

Posted about this on the blog yesterday, but it's worth a reminder. To reserve,  email reservations@nokbyalara.com  or call 0908 561 4815

BONUS

Remember the thing I said about live music this Christmas? Yeah, there's a lot of that this weekend. We've selected a couple we'd actually go to though. Nativeland, because new artists are ridiculously fun. Bez Live, because I went to school with Bez and I will always support Loyola kids unless they turn out to be murderers or something.
