Since the first edition, which was a sold-out show at Fantasyland in Ikoyi, Flytime Promotions has consecutively organized Rhythm Unplugged for 17 years, except for 2020 (due to COVID-19 safety concerns), and featuring music legends and artists in their prime, both foreign and local.
The 2021 Pepsi Rhythm Unplugged was part of a 4-day Flytime Music Festival, held on December 23rd, 2021. Coming from the backdrop of a successful last edition in 2019 which had American rap legend, Ma$e, a then Grammy-nominated teenage reggae sensation and now a Grammy winner, Koffee and the African Giant, Burna Boy.
The bar was raised high once again as it has always been done every year, it’s a wonder what Flytime has planned for 2022. We’ll be staying tuned.
