Nigerian singer, Simisola Bolatito Kosoko Ogunleye, well known as Simi, has announced that she will be performing live at the Hard Rock Café, Lagos, on October 1, 2025.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Simi revealed that the idea for the concert came on impulse, driven by her desire to spend quality time with her fans, popularly known as the “SimiArmy.”
She explained that there would be no VIP tickets, as pricing was set at a flat rate of ₦10,000 to regulate attendance due to the venue’s limited capacity.
Joking about sponsorship, the singer said the show would be self-sponsored by her and her husband, Adekunle Gold, since her team had little time to secure external partners.
Encouraging fans to revisit her albums before the event, Simi admitted she might need reminders for some of her own lyrics.
“I was tired of letting you down. A promise is a debt, and I decided to do this a couple of weeks ago, because one of my strengths (or flaws) is that I’m impulsive. I didn’t give my team any time to find sponsors, so my sponsors are me and my husband #marrywell,” she wrote.
“The tickets are ₦10,000 flat for everyone. No VIP seats. It’s not a big space, so get your tickets early. Even if there are only 10 people there, we’re starting early. I just want to sing with you – so go and listen to the albums again and refresh… I love you, SimiArmy.”
