Nigerian street-pop singer Naira Marley is preparing to reconnect with his fans as he announces the return of Marlians Fest, scheduled for December 12, 2026, in Lagos.
The Marlian Records boss revealed that the concert will take place at Eagles Club Field, Surulere, as part of the highly anticipated Detty December entertainment season.
In announcing the event, the singer reflected on a difficult period in his life, explaining that he had deliberately stepped away from the spotlight to find peace and heal. He described the planned comeback as more than just another concert, presenting it as a moment of growth, healing and moving forward.
He also dedicated part of the event to people they had lost along the way and expressed appreciation to supporters who remained loyal during his difficult period.
Interestingly, Davido was among those who liked the announcement, a move that has also attracted attention from music fans.
However, Naira Marley’s return is likely to generate mixed reactions. The singer faced intense public scrutiny following the death of his former signee, Mohbad, in 2023. Marley was questioned by police and later released; he has denied wrongdoing, and no charges against him in connection with Mohbad’s death have been reported in the cited coverage.
With December approaching, fans will be watching to see whether Marlians Fest can bring back the excitement that once surrounded the Marlian movement.
