West End Hotel announced it will host the West End Ileya Groove at its Apena Street venue in Sabo, Abeokuta on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, beginning at 5 p.m. and continuing until dawn.
The organisers said DJ Diwana is expected to appear and that entry will be free for the first 20 guests at the venue; the party has been tagged by organisers as "A Revealing Xperience." The hotel set the start time at 5 p.m. and told patrons the groove will run through the night into the early hours.
The event is presented as an Ileya celebration for residents and fun seekers in Abeokuta and across Ogun State; the hotel described the party as part of its efforts to provide quality leisure experiences for guests and residents during the festive period. West End Hotel has positioned itself in recent announcements as a destination for relaxation and premium hospitality in the state.
The most concrete numbers in the announcement are the date, the 5 p.m. start and the 20 guests who will enter free. That small early free allowance contrasts with an event billed to run until dawn, and the organisers have not laid out how general admission will be managed after those first spots are taken.
Held on Apena Street in the Sabo neighborhood, the West End Ileya Groove is timed to catch the evening surge of the festival; organisers use the "A Revealing Xperience" label to frame the night as a branded, memorable celebration. DJ Diwana's expected appearance is the marquee entertainment named in the notice.
For attendees, the practical details are straightforward: show up before 5 p.m. on May 26 if you want a shot at one of the complimentary entries. Beyond that, the announcement did not provide further ticketing or capacity information, leaving potential guests to watch for updates from the hotel or to arrive early in hopes of admission.
West End Hotel is moving ahead with a clear plan to stage an all-night Ileya party on May 26 with headline entertainment and a small free-entry incentive. Whether the night becomes the revealing, well-managed celebration the organisers promise will turn on how the hotel handles access and crowding after the first 20 guests are admitted; the schedule, location and named performer, however, are set.
