Not everyone has the time or money to make it to their favorite artists shows, but when the shows are in the same city you’re in it hurts even more. Last week a few superstars taking Afrobeats to the world and putting Nigeria on the map had amazing shows in different continents and cities of the world. This week, we take a look at the highlights each of these shows has to offer. While these moments will live forever, this opportunity to relive, if you had the opportunity to be there, or experience them will only present itself once a week.
ARTIST: Wizkid
DATE: Thursday, NOV 24
CITY: Amsterdam, Netherlands
LOCATION: Ziggo Dome
Wizkid performed at a sold out Ziggo Dome last week Thursday and it was magical. The 17k capacity arena was filled to the brim with the only empty spaces being the ceilings. He delivered a spiritual performance coupled with sizzling vocals and the energy was nothing short of magnificent. Wizkid brought out Pheelz to perform his hit single Finesse at the sold out arena, and Busta Rhymes was spotted backstage talking with Wizkid. See highlights below.
