Rock ‘n’ Rule, the hugely successful youth engagement concert of Globacom will be flagged off next Saturday in Enugu.
The show, which parades the best of Nigeria’s showbiz icons will subsequently hold weekly in other key cities across the country including Awka, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Makurdi, Ilorin, Benin, Kaduna and Yola.
Globacom disclosed that after the success of the last edition of the concert, it went back to the drawing board to re-package the fun-fest for the delight of Nigerian youths. The telecoms giant said a massive, custom-made stage has been procured for the show to fit its growing status and class as the foremost lifestyle and entertainment show for both the young and the young at heart all over the country.
Youths from the various locations will be entertained by a cast of top rated Nigerian entertainers such as Wande Coal, Chocolate City Boys (MI, Jesse Jagz, and Ice Prince), J Martins, Freewindz, Weird MC, Flavour, Terry G, Dr. Sid, Chidynma, Palogie from Benin Republic and Glo Naija Sings winner, Casey Edema.
DJ Jimmy Jatt will also be there while the show will be anchored by Basket Mouth, Okey Bakassi and Gbenga Adeyinka.
Living up to it’s billing as Nigeria’s most rewarding brand, Globacom has lined up an array of exciting prizes to reward youths who exhibit their talents during the various competitions programmed for the show, such as the Mr. & Miss Rock n Rule contest and the Swagger King and Swagger Queen competition.
In 2004, Globacom introduced Campus Storm as the pivot of its youth engagement activities. The show was an instant hit as it took campuses nationwide by storm and brought unrivalled music experience to the undergraduates in the various tertiary institutions. In 2008, the programme was re-packaged and renamed Rock ‘n’ Rule and expanded to take care of youths all over the country.
