Burna Boy will return to the London Stadium next summer as part of the I Told Them… Tour.
It follows a triumphant sell-out show at the venue in June 2023, which made Burna Boy the first African artist to headline a UK stadium. The Nigerian superstar was joined by Stormzy, Dave, J Hus and Popcaan.
The Grammy-winning artist has since scored his first UK No.1 album with I Told Them… debuting at the summit.
Burna Boy said: “London holds a special place in my heart, the energy and love from my fans here is unmatched. I'm thrilled to be returning to the London Stadium on June 29, 2024, after the incredible show we had earlier this year. It's always an honour to perform for my UK fans, and this time, we're going bigger and better. Get ready, we're about to make history once again!”
Apple Music Live exclusively streamed Burna Boy’s 2023 London Stadium show as part of their live performance series. Burna Boy also sold-out stadiums in Paris, Arnhem and New York City, he is set to return to these and other regions in 2024 as part of the I Told Them… Tour.
