Nigerian music star Burna Boy is back with exciting news! After dropping the awesome “City Boys” music video, he’s now announcing his I Told Them… Tour.
This tour, organized by Live Nation, will hit 16 cities, starting on November 3 at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. This is a big deal because it’s Burna Boy’s first time performing in a Los Angeles stadium.
After that, he’ll be rocking stages across North America, making stops in Houston, Chicago, Toronto, and more, before wrapping up in Atlanta at the State Farm Arena on March 9
In July, Burna Boy made history by headlining a sold-out show at NYC’s Citi Field, becoming the first Nigerian artist to headline a U.S. stadium. He had a massive crowd of over 40,000 fans, including famous faces like Busta Rhymes, SZA, Mo Bamba, Larry Ogunjobi, and British rapper Dave, who joined him on stage for their hit song “Location.”
This isn’t the first time Burna Boy has made history. He also became the first African to headline a stadium in the U.K. and sold out Madison Square Garden as the first Nigerian artist to do so.
Burna Boy’s album “I TOLD THEM…” debuted at #1 on the U.K. Albums chart, making him the first international African artist to achieve this.
The album also took the #1 spot in 55 countries on Apple Music. His hit single “Talibans II” landed him on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Sittin On Top Of The World” featuring 21 Savage topped the Rhythmic radio charts. Not to mention, he’s got seven nominations at the 2023 BET Hip-Hop Awards!
Now, for the important part: tickets! You can snag yours during the Citi presale starting on Tuesday, September 26. Other presales will follow throughout the week, with the general onsale opening on Friday, September 29, at 10 AM local time on Ticketmaster.com.
