After dropping his new album, “I Told Them..”, just last month, Burna Boy is going on a tour this fall called the “I Told Them.. Tour”. He will be performing in 16 different cities.
Live Nation is putting together a tour for Burna Boy that will take him to many cities. He would not just be performing in regular concert venues in simple places. He would be playing in massive places like stadiums. The tour starts on November 3rd with a stadium show in Los Angeles at BMO Stadium, and then he will visit other cities like Houston, Chicago, and Toronto for his arena shows.
In July, Burna Boy made history as the first Nigerian artist to headline a stadium show, where he performed at Citi Field in New York in front of a huge crowd of 40,000 people.
Burna Boy’s album “I Told Them…” gave birth to several popular songs, like the one where he collaborated with 21 savages called “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” and another song that samples Jeremih’s music called “City Boys”. The album also recently reached the top spot in the U.K. Albums Charts, marking Burna’s first No.1 album in the UK.
You can get the tickets for the “I Told Them…Tour” starting on Tuesday, September 26th, with a special presale for Citi cardholders. There will be more presales happening during the week, and then on Friday, everyone can buy tickets when they go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. local time on Ticketmaster.com.
