For the first time ever, the Headies will be held twice in one year! This major announcement was made last night during a special event in Lagos.
The 17th edition, originally planned for 2024 but postponed, is now set for April 5, 2025. It will honor outstanding musical achievements from the past year. Then, later in December, the 18th edition will celebrate the best music from 2025.
Shedding light on this decision, Executive Producer Ayo Animashaun shared:
“This April edition was supposed to happen last year, but for certain reasons, it didn’t. We didn’t want to skip a calendar year because artists deserve recognition for their work. That’s why the next one is coming up in December—it will be part of the festive ‘Detty December’ vibe.”
Music fans won’t have to wait long for updates—the list of nominees for the April awards will be revealed on February 12.
