The premium beer brand is bringing “The Stage” for rising talent to showcase themselves to Port Harcourt, Enugu, Lagos etc. – ensuring that opportunity is “Yours To Take”
On Saturday, August 12, six rising music stars thrilled an engaged crowd at Aztech Arcum Event Center, Port Harcourt, hoping to win a golden ticket to the Budweiser BudxUncovered Grand Finale in Lagos.
Guests at the BudxUncovered Port Harcourt Stage were also treated to a celebrity appearance from superstar host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, and BNXN (FKA Buju) closed the event with a showstopping performance – crowing a satisfying and memorable night, courtesy Budweiser.
Calian a.k.a. Emmanuel Somtoochukwu emerged as the first winner of the BudxUncovered Regional Stages, earning a nearly unanimous 5-star Rating from the audience – in appreciation of his mellifluous voice and exciting stage personality.
The “Port Harcourt Stage” was the first in a series of six events which span Enugu, Asaba, Uyo, Calabar and Lagos. On Sunday, August 20, the Kobb Civic Center, Shoprite, Enugu will uncover another musical gem. Could they be Naija’s next music superstar?
Finalists from each city will have a showdown in Lagos on September 23 for a chance to enjoy an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas, USA to share a global stage with other international acts.
