Fans were treated to a heavy dose of nostalgia and emotion as Cynthia Morgan, 9ice, Sir Shina Peters and other artists took the stage at the Rewind Flashback Concert.
Organised by veteran disc jockey Jimmy Jatt in collaboration with Yaw Naija, the concert lived up to its theme, The Legends Are Back, as it reunited audiences with sounds that defined different eras of Nigerian music.
One of the night’s most talked-about moments was the return of Cynthia Morgan to a major concert stage. The singer, who has been largely absent from the mainstream music scene in recent years, received a warm and emotional reception from fans who sang along as she performed some of her popular records. Her appearance sparked loud cheers inside the hall, with many attendees visibly excited to see her perform live again.
Also thrilling the audience was 9ice, who delivered a performance filled with familiar hits that once dominated radio and street playlists across the country. His set drew strong reactions from fans, many of whom waved their phones and chorused lyrics that have remained popular years after their release.
Veteran musician Sir Shina Peters added a classic touch to the night, performing some of his timeless songs that helped shape Nigeria’s contemporary music culture. His performance drew applause from the crowd, reinforcing his enduring influence and relevance across generations.
Beyond the established acts, the organisers also created room for rising artistes, giving upcoming talents including Neo Phlames and Tiwye among many others the opportunity to perform on a major stage alongside industry veterans. The inclusion of younger performers added balance to the concert, blending nostalgia with fresh energy and highlighting the continuity of Nigeria’s music evolution.
Throughout the night, DJ Jimmy Jatt anchored the show with carefully selected throwback records, seamlessly connecting performances with classic sounds that kept the audience engaged from start to finish.
Many attendees described the concert as more than a music event, noting that it felt like a celebration of shared memories and the growth of the Nigerian music industry.
