Grammy-award-winning Nigerian artiste, Burna Boy, has once again made waves in his career, captivating his fans with a remarkable achievement. He achieved an extraordinary milestone by selling out a massive 80,000 capacity stadium in London, UK, making him the first African artiste to solo headline a stadium in the UK.
The momentous event took place on Saturday, June 3, as part of Burna’s Love, Damini Tour. The concert featured exhilarating performances by Burna himself, along with renowned international acts such as JHus, Stormzy, Dave, and many more. The audience was left in awe as Burna delivered electrifying renditions of his hit singles, and he also treated them to previously unreleased tracks, including his collaboration with JHus from the latter’s highly anticipated album, ‘Don’t Say Militancy.’
In a recent interview with London Stadium, Burna expressed his determination to make history and silence any doubts about his musical prowess. He declared, “London Stadium is going to be my fairground! I’ve been told that I couldn’t achieve anything because of where I came from. I hope this can show people that when you have a dream, it doesn’t matter where you’ve come from; your dream can come true. This is going to be legendary, it’s history, and I can’t wait for you all to be a part of that.”
Burna Boy has consistently shattered barriers with his artistry, leaving a trail of historical milestones in his wake. Prior to the London Stadium concert, he sold out the arena in London and the impressive 40,000-capacity La Defense Arena in Paris on Saturday, May 20, 2023. With each achievement, Burna Boy continues to solidify his position as a groundbreaking African artiste on the global stage.
