For a generation of Nigerian music listeners, YBNL Nation represents one of the most influential movements in contemporary Afrobeats. From launching careers to shaping different sounds within the industry, the label has produced artists who have since grown into major names in their own right. This December, label boss Olamide is bringing some of those familiar faces together for a special reunion.

Did Olamide just announce a YBNL reunion concert in December 👀

Tagged ‘YBNL: The Reunion’, the show is scheduled for December 18 as part of Future Fest 2026 in Lagos. The announced lineup features Olamide himself alongside Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, Fireboy DML, Young Jonn, Pheelz and DJ Enimoney.

The announcement is particularly exciting for longtime followers of the label, offering an opportunity to see different generations of the YBNL family share the same stage again. Over the years, these artists have evolved beyond their early beginnings at the label, carving individual identities and building successful careers across different corners of the music industry. The reunion concert also follows the recent announcement of the rapper’s debut headline performance at London’s O2 Arena, slated for March 25, 2027.

Interestingly, the reunion also echoes Olamide’s 2024 project, Ikigai Vol. 1, which brought together several YBNL-affiliated artists. On “Synchro System”, Olamide reunited with Lil Kesh, Young Jonn and Pheelz, while “Uptown Disco” featured Fireboy DML and Asake.

Although Asake is notably absent from the announced lineup, the December showcase remains a significant celebration of YBNL’s legacy and Olamide’s influence in nurturing talents who have gone on to shape Nigerian music.

For fans who have followed the label’s journey, it is a chance to revisit a shared musical history and celebrate just how far the YBNL Mafia have come.
