Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Afrofusion star, is set to make history as the first Nigerian singer to headline a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The concert, billed as ‘Burna Boy Presents One Night in Space,’ is set for April 28.
The singer also took to his Instagram story on Tuesday to announce the live stream of the concert on YouTube.
“Hello my beautiful African people, this is Burna boy. Catch me live on YouTube at my one-night in space concert happening at Madison Square Garden, New York City,” he said.
It is understood that the live stream will begin at 9 p.m. ET on the day of the sold-out show.
In commemoration of the concert, limited edition merchandise has been designed for sales. Merchandise includes shirts, hats hoodies, crewnecks, and tote bags which will range in price from $25 to $100.
“One Night in Space” is being produced by Duke Concept, the “leading brand in African and Caribbean entertainment atmosphere of North America,” according to the company’s website, in conjunction with Live Nation.
Burna Boy started to gain fame after releasing ‘Like to Party’, the lead single from his debut album ‘L.I.F.E’ (2013).
In 2021, the singer set a record in Nigeria after his album ‘Twice As Tall’ won the ‘Best World Music Album’ category at the Grammys.
Burna Boy has established himself as a household name in the music industry with several awards and acclaimed albums.
He has also been in the news for controversial reasons. The ‘Twice As Tall’ singer recently left tongues wagging after claiming he is richer than Wizkid and Davido.
