MTV Base turned 15 years recently and after a week filled with activities, they rounded up the celebrations with the Island Block Party. The rager was held on the 29th of February, 2020 at Lekki Special Events Center. It was a lot of fun, with different performances from artists like Peruzzi, Teniola, CDQ and many more.
As always, we have all the details from the event and we are ready to share all the fun stories with you. Here are six things that happened at the event:
Niniola’s amazing performance: Nini is one hell of a performer and if anybody doubted that before last night, their minds must have been changed. Her ability to connect with her fans is exceptional. She took over the block party with her performance. From thrilling the crowd with her voice and dance moves to giving them a spontaneous show, Nini was on fire last night. We loved every moment of watching her own the stage.
The dance battles: With great music, comes great dancing and the crowd at the block party definitely came ready to dance away their sorrows. There were several dance battles during the event and the Marlians came through. The spontaneous dance battles added some flavour to the event and were a welcome side attraction.
A variety of meals to pick from: MTV Base paid attention to the fact that as people turned up, they would also get hungry. They had multiple vendors on hand to sell affordable meals to the crowd. There were also drink stands so the fans had all they needed for a fun night out.
Celebrities showed up to the party: Lots of celebrities showed up to celebrate with MTV Base for 15 years of amazing content. Celebrities like DJ Xclusive, DJ Neptune, DJ Sose, DRB, Skales, Ehiz, Praiz and many more all came out to support MTV and party!
The fun game stands: The Island Block Party was more than just a series of performances and good music. It was a place to connect with friends and they had the games to help you do just that. There were billiard tables, selfie booths and PES competitions at the event. An all-round fun event!
Multiple hand sanitizer dispensers across the venue: With the news that Coronavirus had gotten into Lagos, MTV Base had to take certain safety precautions. They placed hand sanitizer dispensers at different points across the venue and fans were advised to sanitize their hands severally during the party.
MTV Base’s Island Block Party was very enjoyable and the perfect place to blow off some steam. After 15 years in the game, they’ve still got it and we hope that they’ll continue to thrill us with exciting music videos for many years to come.
