The third edition of Jameson Distillery on Tour (JDOT) came to an end on October 1st, after several days of music, art, and fashion. For nearly a week, Orange Island in Lekki Phase 1 transformed into a dynamic cultural hub where DJs and performers brought Lagos to life with sounds that echoed the energy and diversity of Nigeria’s creative scene.
