Plan your trip
Getting to Lagos
October 22–24, 2026 at National Art Theatre, Lagos.
The venue
National Art Theatre, Lagos, Nigeria. It sits on Lagos Mainland beside the Iganmu interchange, a short drive from Costain and around 30 minutes from Lagos Island outside peak traffic.
Watch the venue walkthrough to see the room before you travel.
Visas and invitation letters
Most visitors need a visa to enter Nigeria. Apply early: processing can take several weeks and a letter will not speed up a late application.
Whatever your application needs from us, email partnership@blockfestafrica.com and tell us what your embassy has asked for. Do not send passport details until we reply and tell you where they should go.
Where to stay
There are hotel and shortlet discounts for attendees travelling in from outside Lagos. Deals and booking details are posted in the accommodation topic of our Telegram community.
Moving around Lagos
Transport to the venue may be arranged within Lagos. At checkout you are asked which area you are travelling from (Ikeja, Surulere, Yaba, Ikorodu, Festac, Iyana Ipaja, Berger or Ajah) so pickup points can be planned around where people actually are.
Logistics updates go out in the Telegram community closer to the event.
Still deciding?
Tickets are transferable, so a pass bought now is not wasted if your plans change.
