After the success of the first edition of the Awards in December 2016, the organizers saw the need to organize an artiste night that will enable artistes perform all their recorded songs live, since the award ceremony accommodates very few music performances.
So on February 28th 2017, the first edition of the industry night was staged at 02 base Arena (A very popular club house in Akure) and it pulled recording artistes from far and near.
Its second edition was taken to the northern part of the state. X-lounge, Akungba- Akoko hosted it on May 26th 2018 while its 3rd edition was taken to the southern part of the state. Domfav Hotel and Suites, Okitipupa hosted it on May 25th 2019, this particular edition was tagged Okitipupa Invasion.
The 2020 edition failed to hold due to the Corona Virus Pandemic.
