Over the last couple of years, Nigerian afrobeats singer Asake has blossomed into one of the biggest names in the genre and an artist recognized globally. It began with his breakout records “Omo Ope” and “Sunga,” the latter which was remixed by Burna Boy and appeared on his debut album Mr. Money With The Vibe. A year later, Asake returned with his sophomore album Work Of Art, one spotlighted by the Grammy-nominated “Amapiano” with Olamide. Now, for the third consecutive year, Asake is gearing up to release a new project as the singer shared in an announcement for the Lungu Boy World Tour.
Asake’s Lungu Boy World Tour will begin with two festival dates, the first being AfroNation in Portugal on June 26 and the second in London for Wireless Festival on July 13. A month later, the US leg of the tour begins in Washington D.C. and ends in New York at Madison Square Garden after six shows across the country. Lastly, the tour will wrap up with five dates in Europe and one in Australia.
