Quickteller, Africa’s leading digital payments platform powered by the Interswitch Group, has announced the launch of InsomniaQ, a bold new all-night music and entertainment experience aimed at redefining Lagos’ iconic December festivities.
The maiden edition of InsomniaQ is scheduled to run from the evening of December 21 through the early hours of December 22, 2025, at the Ballroom of the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island.
Designed as a 12-hour, non-stop entertainment experience, InsomniaQ will deliver continuous music performances and immersive activities throughout the night, aligning with the city’s vibrant nocturnal energy during the festive season.
Positioned as Africa’s newest must-attend December destination, InsomniaQ captures the creative pulse and cultural richness that define Lagos at year’s end. The event blends diverse African soundscapes, artistic expression and lifestyle experiences, offering a carefully curated atmosphere for music lovers, cultural enthusiasts, diaspora returnees and festive-season visitors.
Beyond being a concert, InsomniaQ is envisioned as a cultural movement that celebrates the depth, diversity and dynamism of African talent. With a lineup spanning contemporary, alternative and genre-defying sounds, the festival aims to introduce a fresh and unforgettable addition to Lagos’ thriving entertainment ecosystem.
Speaking on the vision behind the initiative, Olawale Akanbi, Divisional Head, Growth Marketing (Quickteller Ecosystem) at Interswitch, said InsomniaQ represents a bold expression of African creativity.
“InsomniaQ is an invitation to celebrate African creativity in a way that feels bold, fresh and authentic. Quickteller has always been part of experiences people value, and this festival brings that connection to life in a new dimension. As Lagos welcomes visitors from around the world every December, we are proud to introduce a platform that showcases our music, culture and the vibrant energy that defines the season,” he said.
Through Quickteller, Interswitch continues to champion initiatives that extend beyond digital payments to enrich everyday experiences. InsomniaQ aligns with this mission by supporting cultural expression, creating opportunities for creatives and strengthening Africa’s growing entertainment industry.
