Live Music Sessions
Don’t go home and sit endlessly scrolling TikTok reels; distracting yourself isn’t going to make Monday come any slower. You might as well go out and enjoy a live band perform your favorite songs, sing along, and have drinks. Now that’s how to enjoy a Sunday in Lagos. Spots like Freedom Park; this one is for those who just want a laid-back, affordable, and easy-going vibe.
