SoyCity is billing its Easter‑season double‑header as “the party of the year,” with back‑to‑back blowouts set for Lagos on Thursday, 2 April 2026 and Abuja on Friday, 3 April. The Lagos edition lands at Praia Lagos in Victoria Island; the Abuja follow‑up moves to Varuna by Good Beach on Ahmadu Bello Way. Both run 7 p.m.–5 a.m., promising ten hours of music, food and—according to organisers—surprises “that’ll leave you screaming.”
The DJ roster leans heavily local: DJ Soy, DJ TohBad, Bonamax, N.A.T.E, Active Boy and Yanny’s Vibe are confirmed, with SoyCity founder Dj Soy projecting sets that swing from Afrobeats and amapiano to electronic cuts. Marketing director Cidane describes the brand’s recipe as simple: import‑level headliners, Lagos energy and dress‑code policing (“Come looking good—yes, we mean it”). Table bookings and advance tickets are already moving on tix.africa.
SoyCity has built a niche since 2022 by parachuting global‑circuit DJs into Nigerian venues, marketing each event as lifestyle‑and‑selfie‑ready. The Easter timing is strategic: public‑holiday travel, school breaks and a diaspora cohort already booking home flights. In Abuja last December, a similar SoyCity gig reportedly pushed Varuna to full‑house and sent wait‑time for shawarma into triple digits; organisers hope for a repeat.
The party‑brand narrative goes beyond hedonism. Cidane frames SoyCity as “bringing people together and making memories,” a pitch aimed at sponsors eyeing Gen Z wallets and at ticketholders chasing Instagram backdrops. Praia’s beach‑side deck and Varuna’s poolside open air give designers a chance to build immersive visuals, while 7 p.m.–5 a.m. scheduling underlines SoyCity’s club‑stamina ethos.
Tickets and VIP tables remain on sale, with early‑bird categories almost gone as of Monday. For Lagos and Abuja revelers weighing Easter options—family lunch, beach trip or overnight rave—SoyCity is selling the third option hard. If the brand’s booking record holds, both Praia and Varuna will be packed, dressed‑up and dancing well past sunrise.
