The 18th edition of The Headies is scheduled to be held in December, although the exact date has not been disclosed.
In February 2024, the award organisers disclosed that the 17th award event would return to Nigeria after hosting the 2022 and 2023 editions in the United States.
The 16th Headies took place at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The award ceremony was also held at the same venue two years ago.
The Headies is a prestigious music awards show established in 2006 to recognize outstanding achievements in the Nigerian music industry.
