Singer Naira Marley has announced the return of Marlians Fest, his annual concert, after a long spell away from the public eye. The show will hold in Lagos next month, with fellow artistes expected to join him on stage.
The Marlian Records boss made the announcement in a lengthy post on his social media pages on Sunday. He said the concert will take place on December 12, 2026, at Eagles Club Field in Surulere, Lagos, as part of this year’s Detty December celebrations.
Describing the event as one about growth, healing and moving forward, the singer said he stepped back from the spotlight to find peace after a difficult period. He did not give details of what he went through.
“But music is my life. The Marlians are my family. And it’s time to come back together,” he wrote.
He also dedicated part of the show to “everyone we have lost along the way”, and said he will not perform alone, as friends will be on stage with him.
Addressing his supporters, he added: “To my Marlians who never left me, thank you. I see you. I love you. If you have ever been a Marlian, this night is yours.”
The announcement comes about three years after the death of his former signee, Mohbad, in 2023, which drew heavy public criticism of Naira Marley and affected his image and career. He has since kept a low public profile.
Singer Davido liked the post on Instagram, which fans noticed. Many followers have since flooded the comment section, marking December 12 as a date not to be missed and welcoming the return of the Marlian movement. No lineup or ticket details have been released yet.
