As part of his historic ‘I Told Them’ tour, the Grammy winner created history once again on June 29, 2024, when he sold out London Stadium, which has 80,000 seats.

After being the first African artist to headline the stadium in June 2023, Burna Boy is now selling out the venue for the second time.
During the performance, Burna Boy—who is well-known for his exceptional stage presence—wowed the audience with a selection of his hit songs, supported by his renowned Outsiders Band.

Attendees at the concert included a number of Nigerian musicians, including as rapper Odumodublvck and street-hop prodigy Shallipopi, who played their popular joint song, “Cast.”
Seyi Vibez, a street pop sensation, also performed with Burna Boy on stage, covering their tune “Giza,” which is featured on his seventh album, “I Told Them.”
Afrobeats musician Omah Lay and alternative music icon Boj are among the other Nigerian performers at the event. In an interview with Pulse Nigeria, Omah Lay said that Burna Boy is the only Nigerian artist he looks up to.

Burna Boy continues to set multiple firsts for an African musician, and his most recent stadium show in London is more evidence of his global prominence.
