T.I Blaze, Rybeena, TML Vibez, Bhad Boi OML others to perform at ‘Trench Symphony Opera’

Dapper Live is set to make history with the launch of Trench Symphony, a first-of-its-kind live music experience that fuses the raw energy of Nigerian street sounds with the elegance of opera.

Scheduled to hold on Sunday, September 14 in Lagos, the event will feature performances from some of Nigeria’s most exciting rising stars, including T.I Blaze, Rybeena, TML Vibez, Bhad Boi OML, Lasmid, Kashcoming, and more.

According to the organisers, “Trench Symphony is not just a concert; it is a cultural experiment that reimagines how Afrobeats, street-pop, and Nigerian youth culture can be elevated through the theatrical lens of opera. With orchestral arrangements, live vocals, and immersive staging, each performance will present familiar hits in an entirely new soundscape designed to captivate and inspire”, their release read.

This project is a bold innovation from Dapper Group, led by Damilola Dapper Akinwunmi, building on Nigeria’s globally recognised reputation for energy and influence in music. Trench Symphony showcases the industry’s boundless creativity by uniting two seemingly distant worlds, opera and street music, into one groundbreaking performance. The event seeks to bridge cultures, generations, and audiences while redefining the future of live musical expression.

“Afrobeats has shown the world the power of Nigerian creativity, and with Trench Symphony we are taking that innovation even further,” said Damilola Dapper Akinwunmi, Founder of Dapper Group.

“By blending street sounds with orchestra, we are celebrating Afrobeats in its purest form while creating a platform that unites different cultures and gives fans a completely new way to enjoy the music they love.”
