Smirnoff Ice, a brand from Guinness Nigeria’s stable, has celebrated International Youth Day with Chilltopia, a high-energy, touring event in three cities: Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
With the theme “Dare to Chill”, the tour brought together music, games, creativity, and premium hospitality to unite young Nigerians under the spirit of #TogetherWeChill.
Speaking at the event, Oluwanponmile Alabi, Category Lead for ‘Ready to Serve, With Chilltopia’, said, “International Youth Day is about recognising the creativity, unity, and energy of young people.”
He further said, “We wanted to create a space where they could fully own their vibe, connect with each other, and make lasting memories. Each city brought its unique flavour, but the sense of togetherness was the same. That’s the magic of #TogetherWeChill.”
Smirnoff Ice’s Chilltopia tour swept through each city, transforming it into a vibrant playground of flavour, music, and boundless creativity in celebration of International Youth Day.
In Lagos, guests explored immersive corners dedicated to Smirnoff’s signature variants, played larger-than-life games, and danced to electric DJ sets from the electrifying sounds of DJs Chella, Mia, and Etee. Twix Da Jims and Shoday brought the house down with high-energy live sets and performances.
Abuja’s edition raised the bar with a dazzling “experience tunnel,” buzzing game zones, and a dance floor that pulsed with relentless energy as DJs Steve, Spunky, Piizii, and SlimZace delivered a relentless flow of beats, amplified by Hypemen Sound and Links. The night’s climax came with Sound Boi BME’s explosive performance, sealing Abuja’s spot as a hub of unfiltered celebration.
Port Harcourt brought the tour to a high-energy close with face painting, tattoos, spirited dance battles, and a showcase of dynamic local talent while DJs Ralph, Softsnow, and Faithful kept the city’s pulse thumping. Crowd favourites Mr Barango, Hypeman Shooter, and Hypeman Kush whipped up the energy, and live acts Succido, Motombo, Ice Hood, and AI Ayee closed the tour with an exhilarating wave of local artistry.
Alabi further stated that by staging Chilltopia in these major cities, Smirnoff’s place as a leading force in Nigeria’s youth lifestyle scene shines through, with each event being a culturally resonant experience designed to inspire creativity, foster community, and celebrate individuality.
