Jameson Distillery on Tour’ returns to Lagos

Irish whiskey maker Jameson is set to bring its acclaimed Jameson Distillery on Tour (JDOT) back to Lagos from 26 September to 1 October, promising an immersive blend of music, fashion, art and creative culture.

For nearly a week, Orange Island in Lekki Phase 1 will transform into a festival-style playground where nostalgic games, art installations, whiskey tastings and live performances showcase Jameson’s 245-year-old heritage with a Lagos twist.

A Five-Day Cultural Journey

The JDOT experience unfolds in stages, each night offering a unique flavour of Lagos’ vibrant lifestyle:

• 26 September – WAF & Street Souk After Dark: Skating culture, pop-up fashion, DJ sets and street-style energy.
• 27 September – MIA & Vogue Boys: Retro gaming, water-park vibes, runway shows and standout music performances.
• 28 September – Afrovibes: An intimate street-style concert inspired by Lagos’ busking traditions.
• 29 September – Distillery Doors Shut: A brief intermission for festival-goers to catch their breath.
• 30 September – Afro Jam: All-female musical showcase curated in partnership with Deeds Magazine.
• 1 October – Mainland Block Party: The grand finale coincides with Nigeria’s Independence Day, bringing a city-wide celebration of music and culture.

Beyond the Stage

Guests can explore a Jameson mini-distillery, offering guided tastings, cocktail-making workshops and storytelling sessions that connect the craft of Irish whiskey with Lagos’ contemporary creativity. Limited-edition Jameson merchandise will also be available as keepsakes.

“Jameson Distillery on Tour has become more than an event; it’s a community,” said Evane Chenuet, Marketing Director of Pernod Ricard Nigeria. “This year at Orange Island, we’re creating a space where creativity, fashion, music and culture come alive.”
