Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Fola is set to headline the upcoming CHOPLIFE SATURDAY event, scheduled for this weekend at Iris Lounge in Nairobi.
This marks Fola’s first-ever performance in Nairobi, with fans anticipating a vibrant showcase of his signature Afro-fusion sound, which has been steadily gaining popularity across West Africa and beyond.
“I’ve always wanted to perform in Nairobi. The energy, the culture; it feels like home already,” Fola said ahead of the show. “CHOPLIFE is a movement. We’re coming to celebrate life with music, love, and real vibes.”
Fola rose to prominence with tracks such as Miss You, Money Chaser, Feeling, and Ginger Me. Reflecting on one of his more emotional records, Alone, the singer described it as the “perfect song” because of its deep connection with listeners.
The event is being organised by Bruce&Sharp Promotions in collaboration with Gomez Entertainment, and promises a night of electrifying performances, Afrobeat rhythms, and cultural celebration.
CHOPLIFE SATURDAY will kick off at 5 PM and run until late, featuring a curated lineup of Nairobi-based performers and top DJs.
While the full list of supporting acts remains undisclosed, organisers have confirmed that surprise guest artists will grace the stage.
Bruce, co-founder of Bruce&Sharp Promotions, said the event is about more than music, “This is about building moments that connect Nairobi to the rest of Africa through music. Fola is the first of many; we want people to experience something fresh.”
“We’ve built this night to bring out a true ‘chop life’ spirit. It’s more than a party; it’s a musical experience. Dress up, pull up early, and come ready to celebrate,” said a representative from Gomez Entertainment.
CHOPLIFE SATURDAY is expected to attract Afrobeat fans, music lovers, and Nairobi’s vibrant nightlife community. Ticketing and table reservation details will be shared on the organisers’ official social media platforms.
