The Encomium White Gig is a few days away, and celebs from all walks of life are gearing up to be part of the one-of-its-kind annual event.
Billed to be an evening of Cognac cocktails, beautiful ballads and unbelievable fun, the event aims to bring together the bright, the bold and the brave in an evening filled with enough fun to go round.
“The White Gig Series 5 is receiving enormous goodwill and warm wishes. We count ourselves lucky with this Tsunami of love,” Kunle Bakare, publisher of Encomium said.
Bakare says guests will include distinguished musicians, actors, socialites, entrepreneurs and business leaders, Government, media titans and ardent Encomium readers.
Tagged Take the steps, Walk the Talk, the high octane gig will hold at The Haven, GRA, Ikeja on Sunday 18 March. The six-hour event will kick off with an elaborate red carpet reception. The iconic DJ Jimmy JATT will guide guests through soft, smooth and at times wild music; and guests will have an opportunity to dance and prance from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
In its fifth year, the White Gig started when Encomium marked its 10th Anniversary in 2007.
