Share This Post
Jameson Distillery is coming to Port Harcourt. After successful editions in Lagos and Abuja, the experience reaches the Garden City for the first time from 1st to 3rd October 2026 at Yakubu Gowon Stadium. The three-day event combines music, games, food, whiskey discovery and experiences built around the things that bring people together.
Jameson has always been about creating spaces where people can connect, enjoy themselves and share memorable moments. The Port Harcourt edition carries that spirit into a city with a vibrant creative and entertainment scene of its own. With music, skating, games, food and water experiences, the programme draws together different sides of the city and offers a fresh way to experience Jameson.
Each day has its own character, with Jameson working alongside partners and communities that reflect the energy already present in Port Harcourt.
Day One: Skating, Music and Energy
The weekend opens with skating and music, blending the movement, sound and energy that define Port Harcourt's creative scene. Guests can lace up their skates, enjoy live performances and ease into the weekend with sets from Sons of Ubuntu, Black Dave, WeAreAllChemicals and Ifeme.
Day Two: Games, Competition and Good Vibes
Day two introduces a playful side to the Jameson Distillery experience, with games designed to get guests moving, competing and connecting. Peruzzi will perform, while DJ Kaydee, DJ Faithful, DJ Diamond and others will handle the decks.
Hypeman Mayor and Pandora will keep the crowd engaged, with performances and appearances from Pandora, Real Chuksy and Annie Drumz adding to the day's energy. Whether guests come to compete, cheer on their friends or simply soak up the atmosphere, the day is about having a good time and connecting with the people around them.
Day Three: We Go All Out
After two days of music, skating and games, the final day takes the experience to its peak with exciting activities and a waterpark designed for guests to relax, play and enjoy the weekend. Shoday will headline the entertainment, supported by Titanium and Mia, with DJ Ewheelz, DJ General, DJ Rekii, DJ Fanny and DJ White on the decks. Mr Barango will host the day, alongside Major Phylix and additional appearances.
Discovering Whiskey Across All Three Days
Throughout the weekend, guests will also have the chance to get to know their whiskey better. An educational whiskey tour will run across all three days, taking guests behind the bottle, from fine grains to a stunning finish, and into the story of Jameson. Guests will learn how Jameson is made, from the ingredients to the different stages of production, while exploring the history, craft and people behind the brand.
The experience is designed to be informative but far from a classroom, allowing guests to learn, taste and ask questions. Those who complete it will receive a certificate recognising them as certified whiskey lovers.
Speaking ahead of the event, Evane Chenuet, Marketing Director, Pernod Ricard Nigeria, said:
"Jameson Distillery is about bringing people together through experiences that feel relevant, enjoyable and true to the spirit of the brand. We've taken the experience from Lagos to Abuja, and now we're bringing it to Port Harcourt for the first time. Port Harcourt has a strong personality of its own, with a thriving mix of music, entertainment, creativity and community, and we wanted this edition of Jameson Distillery to reflect that. Through the partners and experiences selected, we have planned across the various days, we're creating different ways for people to connect, discover something new and enjoy Jameson.
The Distillery also gives people the opportunity to go beyond the finished product and come along for the journey behind Jameson, including understanding what makes our whiskey unique and the triple distillation process that goes into making it. We look forward to bringing Jameson Distillery to Port Harcourt and sharing the experience with the city."
From Lagos to Abuja and now Port Harcourt, Jameson Distillery continues to bring people together through music, shared experiences, good food, whiskey and everything that makes a great weekend.
