UPDATE:
Wizkid has just been announced as special guest for Burna Boy’s show tonight at O2 Academy Brixton. The special virtual gig kicks off at 8:00pm GMT on Weds 18th November, available exclusively on MelodyVR. Wizkid and Burna Boy are past collaborators, having featured on Nigerian singer Wizkid’s ‘Ginger’ together taken from his 2020 album Made In Lagos. This special virtual event ‘Live from London’ takes place live from O2 Academy Brixton, one of London’s most iconic venues. It will boast jaw-dropping production and visuals, and a setlist filled with the African giant’s hits like ‘Wonderful’ and ‘Real Life’, and newer tracks from his huge summer album Twice as Tall. Fusing dancehall, reggae, Afrobeat and pop, Burna Boy emerged in 2010 as one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising stars. He has since solidified his place in Nigeria and the world with his globally accepted Afrofusion sound, achieving phenomenal international success with hits such as ‘Ye’, ‘Gbona’, ‘Monsters You Made’ featuring Coldplay’s Chris Martin, ‘20 10 20’ and ‘Own It’ (with Stormzy and Ed Sheeran), to mention a few.
Burna Boy joins the list of artists to partner up with MelodyVR in 2020 to bring the fans an exclusive live performance.
