Red Bull Spin It Loud Declares Detty December Open With Ultimate DJ Showdown in Lagos

On Saturday, December 5, 2026, Red Bull Spin It Loud will reach its biggest moment yet as the National Final takes over Casa 45, Victoria Island, Lagos, bringing together four talented DJs for an electrifying showdown to determine Nigeria’s ultimate crowd controller.

This National Final brings together a multi-city DJ experience that has taken the competition to some of Nigeria’s biggest music and entertainment moments, giving emerging and established DJs a platform to showcase their creativity, test their skills, and connect with music lovers.
The 2026 edition kicked off in Lagos on March 21 at Bimi Likes to Party, where four DJs went head-to-head at Amore Gardens in the competition’s first regional battle. With hypeman Big Bimi setting the pace, the contestants delivered energetic sets, responding to the challenge of commanding the crowd through their music. DJ Tohbhad emerged as the Lagos qualifier winner.

From Lagos, the competition moved to Abuja on April 13, taking over Romies Block for another round of DJ battles. Four contestants interpreted unexpected themes and created mixes on the spot, testing their musical versatility and ability to read the crowd. Audience votes saw Licensed DJ claim the Abuja title and a place in the final.

The journey continued in Port Harcourt on September 6 at the 10th edition of the Bole Festival with performances from Nigerian music stars including Timaya, Duncan Mighty, and Johnny Drille. Four DJs went head-to-head, bringing their individual sounds and crowd-control skills to the battle, with DJ EWheelz emerging as the Port Harcourt winner.

Now, the competition returns to Lagos for the ultimate showdown, with the three regional champions, DJ Tohbhad (Lagos), Licensed DJ (Abuja), and DJ EWheelz (Port Harcourt), alongside a wildcard finalist. All three will compete for the national title in a series of one-on-one battles, creating spontaneous mixes around surprise themes that test their creativity, versatility and ability to command an audience.
The audience will play a decisive role, as their votes will determine the winner and ultimately answer the question: Who Owns the Night? Hosted by Big Bimi, with DJ Neptune serving as the supervising DJ, the National Final promises a night where music lovers become part of the competition, backing their favourites and deciding whose performance deserves the title.

But the celebrations won’t end when the winner is announced. Following the National Final, guests will keep the energy going at an exciting after-party hosted by Twinkle, bringing the night to a lively close as Red Bull Spin It Loud officially turns up the Detty December celebrations.

As the four finalists prepare to take the stage, one question remains: Who has what it takes to command the crowd, own the night and become Nigeria’s Red Bull Spin It Loud champion?
