Nigerian singer Patrick Okorie, popularly known as Patoranking, will mark 10 years in the music industry with a headline performance at Trace Live on Friday, September 25, 2026, in Lagos.
The concert is scheduled to hold at Terra Kulture Arena, Victoria Island, with doors opening at 7:00 p.m. and the performance expected to begin at 8:00 p.m.
The event is being organised by Trace in partnership with Bolanle Austen-Peters Productions to celebrate a decade of Patoranking’s career under the theme, “God Over Everything.”
The theme is drawn from Patoranking’s 2016 debut studio album, God Over Everything, connecting the anniversary concert with one of the defining projects of his career.
Patoranking began gaining national attention with the release of “Alubarika” in 2013 before following up with songs including “Girlie O,” “My Woman, My Everything” and “No Kissing Baby.”
His official biography describes his sound as a blend of Afrobeats, reggae and dancehall, while identifying Patrick Okorie as his real name.
In 2016, Patoranking released God Over Everything, his debut studio album, which featured collaborations with artistes including Wizkid, Phyno and Sarkodie.
The album later debuted at number four on Billboard’s Reggae Albums chart, according to information published on Patoranking’s official website.
The September 25 concert is expected to draw from the singer’s catalogue across the decade, covering music released from his early career through subsequent studio projects.
After God Over Everything, Patoranking released Wilmer in 2019, Three in 2020 and World Best in 2023.
His official biography states that his music has accumulated nearly one billion streams on YouTube, while his touring history has taken him to more than 50 countries.
The biography also records performances at venues and events including the O2 Arena in London, Barclays Center in New York and the FIFA World Cup Fan Festival in Qatar.
The concert at Terra Kulture forms part of Trace Live’s programme of live music performances, placing Patoranking’s decade-long catalogue at the centre of an evening dedicated to his career.
The event will receive support from Lord’s London Dry Gin, Legend Extra Stout and Coca-Cola, according to the published event details.
Terra Kulture Arena, located in Victoria Island, Lagos, is part of the Terra Kulture cultural and entertainment complex, which hosts theatre, music and other creative productions.
For Patoranking, the September 25 performance comes at a significant point in a career that has moved from his early dancehall releases to multiple albums and international performances.
The choice of “God Over Everything” as the concert theme also places his 2016 debut album at the centre of the retrospective, seven years after the release of his first major studio project.
As guests arrive from 7:00 p.m., the Terra Kulture Arena will host the Trace Live celebration before the headline performance begins at 8:00 p.m.
The September 25 concert is also one of two major Patoranking engagements announced for Lagos on the same day, as he is separately scheduled to headline the opening night of VANITI Lagos’ third-anniversary celebration later that day.
The VANITI celebration runs from Friday, September 25 to Sunday, September 27, before continuing from Friday, October 2 to Sunday, October 4, with Duncan Mighty and Mr P scheduled for the subsequent nights of the opening weekend.
Patoranking’s Trace Live concert, however, remains a separate event specifically built around his 10-year career milestone and the “God Over Everything” theme.
With the concert set for Friday night, the celebration provides an opportunity to revisit a decade of releases that established Patoranking as a major Nigerian voice in dancehall, reggae and Afrobeats.
Kristina Reports will continue to bring verified updates on Patoranking’s 10-year music anniversary and major entertainment events across Nigeria.
