Burna Boy sells out England’s largest indoor arena in landmark concert

Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has once again made history, selling out The Co-op Manchester, England’s largest indoor arena.

The concert, held on April 21, came just days after the 33-year-old achieved another milestone by filling the 80,000-seat Stade De France in Paris.

With over 23,500 fans in attendance, the event showcased Burna Boy’s electrifying energy and solidified his status as a global music icon

At his Manchester concert, Burna Boy thrilled fans with a rendition of the hit records with which he has built one of the most enviable touring repertoires for an African pop star.

The event marked Burna Boy’s sole UK arena performance of the year and formed part of his ‘I Told Them’ tour, a significant milestone in his career, named after his 2023 album, which was a major success and a turning point in his career.

The audience was treated to a masterclass in stagecraft, featuring dynamic visuals, pyrotechnics, dancers, and a carefully curated setlist that showcased highlights from his expansive discography.

Like his show in Paris, the Odogwu brought out Nigerian Gen Z sensation Shallipopi, with whom he performs the remix of his single ‘Laho’, which is quickly becoming a global viral song.

Joining him on stage was Joé Dwèt Filé to perform their collaboration ‘4KampeII’ after they both performed at the Stade De France.

Following his sold-out Manchester concert, the hit maker will return to the stage as a headliner at the Jazz & Heritage Festival New Orleans on 24 April 2025.
