From DJ Jimmy Jatt's 'Rewind' to the hidden beach parties in Ilashe—here is how to navigate the chaos of Lagos this week without losing your mind (or your phone).

It is December 24th. You are likely stuck in traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. You are wondering if the N50,000 ticket for tonight's show is worth it.

Welcome to Detty December 2025.

The energy in Lagos is frantic, expensive, and absolutely unmatched. To help you survive the next seven days, Wahala Room has curated the definitive guide.

The "Must-Attend" List 1. **DJ Jimmy Jatt’s "Rewind" (Dec 30)**: This is the mature crowd's haven. Held at Eko Hotel, it’s strictly Old School hits. No Gen Z chaos, just vibes and veteran industry heavyweights. 2. **Rema’s "Ravage" Dome Experience (Dec 27)**: Rema has promised "visuals never seen in Africa." If you go, wear comfortable shoes. The mosh pits will be legendary. 3. **The Mainland Block Party (Dec 26)**: If you want raw, unadulterated energy, this is it. It’s sweaty, it’s loud, and it’s the heartbeat of the youth culture.

Survival Tips (2025 Edition) * **Uber Prices are Surge-Only**: Budget at least N30k for transport per night. If you can drive, don't. Parking is a myth. * **Security is Key**: Pickpocketing has evolved. Keep your phone in a front, zipped pocket or a cross-body bag. Do not "film the vibes" with your phone loosely held in a crowd. * **The "Table" Trap**: If you aren't buying a table, arrive early. General Admission areas fill up by 10 PM, and "African Time" doesn't apply to venue capacity.

Stay safe, drink water, and remember: what happens in December, stays on Instagram.
