Exciting Live Performances and DJ Lineups
Nothing makes a good concert like good music that keeps you swaying all night and grooving with your squad — and the #PressPlay Concert gave us just that! From the very first tune, the atmosphere was charged with thrilling beats that kept everyone on their feet all night long. DJ Baggio, MazeXMxtreme, and Tobi Peter clearly understood the assignment and delivered! There were also amazing performances from Benin City’s very own upcoming artists, who rocked the stage and gave us the kind of energy we came for.
That was not all! Our faves — Tag Team, Ayo Maff, Crayon, and Bella Shmurda — were present to deliver stellar performances that got us on our feet, dancing to the beat. Talk about a night to remember!
The High-Stake Games!
No #PressPlay Concert is complete without the signature games, and this edition was no exception! From the intense FIFA tournament to thrilling rounds of table football, Cable Hockey, Snooker, and Jenga, the night was packed with fun and fierce competition. Guests showcased their skills and competitive spirit, particularly during the FIFA tournament, where a stunning cash prize of 1 million naira was whisked away by Esenwa Ifeanyi Paul in one night!
The Monkey Shoulder #PressPlay Concert in Benin was truly unforgettable. Keep your eyes peeled for the next edition coming to your city—you don’t want to miss it!

ABOUT MONKEY SHOULDER  
In 2005, Monkey Shoulder, the world’s first made-for-mixing blended malt whisky, burst into the world of whisky, and it has been breaking the conventions of the category ever since. Developed as the ultimate whisky for cocktails, Monkey Shoulder Original Blended Malt Whisky is blended in small batches of Speyside’s finest single malt whiskies and then married together. Rich, smooth, and fruity, the original blend is bold enough to be mixed yet balanced enough to enjoy neat. Most recently, Monkey Shoulder has been voted as the second best-selling and third top-trending Scotch Whisky Brand in Drink International’s 2022 Brands Report. This unique blend gets its name from the Scottish slang for a muscular strain suffered by malt men during the days when whisky was still made by hand.
