adidas and sp5der, the streetwear brand founded by rapper Young Thug, will host a live event showcasing a new generation of Nigerian underground artists at the waf. Skatepark in Lagos, Nigeria, on Saturday, 14 November 2026.

The event coincides with the launch of a new adidas × sp5der capsule and is designed to highlight the sounds and creative identities shaping Nigeria’s underground music scene.

The line-up includes:

  • Live performances: Zaylevelten, Luwa, Efmoon, Young Beejay and Tura
  • DJ sets: Laboomz, Indica, Sigag Lauren and Yosa

The waf. Skatepark is a community hub for skate and street culture that now also serves as a platform for Nigeria’s underground music scene. The event ties back to Young Thug’s earlier support of the venue, as sp5der is now being hosted there.

Through the gathering, adidas × sp5der aims to connect its collaboration with a wider creative community, bringing music, fashion and skate culture together and giving emerging Nigerian artists greater visibility.

SP5DER, founded in 2019, is a lifestyle brand based in Los Angeles with roots in Atlanta. The brand describes itself as a visual commentary on the pulse of the South, drawing on the self-expression of Atlanta and the community that shapes it. It describes its design approach as luxury-led with a punk spirit, positioned between nostalgia and invention.

adidas is a global leader in the sporting goods industry and is headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany.
