Wizkid announces ‘Made In Lagos’ North American tour

Wizkid, Nigerian singer, has announced a 17-city tour across the United States and Canada for ‘Made in Lagos’, his hit album.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the music star revealed that the tour will kick off on September 10 in Boston and end in Montreal on January 22, 2022.

Major cities where the tour will take place include Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Chicago, and Toronto.

In a terse note that accompanied the post, the ‘Ginger’ crooner said the dates and locations of his tour in the United Kingdom and across Europe will be revealed in due course.

“Made In Lagos’ tour US. UK, Europe coming up next,” he wrote.

Wizkid finally released the project, which is his fourth album, in October last year — after teasing it for about two years.

The 14-track project features international heavyweights like Damian Marley, Skepta, H.E.R, and Ella Mai. It also had Nigerian music stars such as Burna Boy, Tems and Terri.

The album has so far enjoyed widespread acceptance, with the likes of Kylie Jenner, Kevin Hart, and Saweetie dancing to songs off the mid-tempo project.

Barack Obama, former US president, had also listed ‘Essence’ a track off the project, among his favourite songs for 2020.
