The Mainland Block Party is set to return to Lagos on Friday, 1 January 2027, with earlybird tickets already on sale. This edition, dubbed Mission 27k, is scheduled from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. Lagos time. Tickets range from ₦7,500 (about US$6) for the Rockstar Earlybird to ₦3 million (about US$2,250) for the District 12 tier, which includes a drinks allowance and food platter.

The headliner for this edition has not yet been announced, but previous Mission editions have featured artists like Adekunle Gold, Seyi Vibez, and Olamide. The Mainland Block Party aims to celebrate the culture of Lagos' mainland, an area often overlooked but rich in history and tradition. Tickets can be purchased only through the official website, and resellers are not recommended.

Visitors to the party should be aware of Nigeria's Level 3 travel advisory, which warns of common violent crime and the limited US government assistance outside Abuja and Lagos. Despite the venue still being listed as TBA, the party is expected to be held at the Police College in Ikeja, the location of previous editions.
