Burna Boy, the Nigerian international superstar, has officially announced the dates for his highly anticipated concerts across the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
These performances will be part of his upcoming tour, which is expected to follow the release of his eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness. The Grammy-winning artist, known for his electrifying stage presence and fusion of Afrobeats, reggae, and dancehall, is gearing up to take his global domination to the next level. “I’m bringing the fire to these stages,” Burna Boy declared in a statement. “My people in Europe, get ready for a show like never before.”
Among the scheduled performances, one of the most significant is his headlining show at the iconic Stade de France on April 18, 2025. The 80,000-capacity stadium will mark a historic moment in Burna Boy’s career as he becomes one of the few African artists to headline a venue of such magnitude.
This announcement comes shortly after his remarkable performance at the same stadium for a charity concert alongside global music icons John Legend and Katy Perry. Reflecting on that moment, Burna Boy expressed his excitement about returning: “The energy in Paris was unreal. Now, I’m coming back with my own show, and we’re taking it to a whole new level.”
The Last Last hitmaker will also take his tour to the United Kingdom, where he is set to perform at the 23,000-capacity Co-op Arena in Manchester on April 23. This marks another significant stop in Burna Boy’s journey of conquering European stages.
His previous UK tours saw him sell out the O2 Arena in London multiple times, solidifying his reputation as one of the biggest African artists to command a dedicated fanbase outside the continent. “The UK has always held me down,” he said. “It’s like a second home, and every time I step on stage there, I feel the love.”
Germany will also experience Burna Boy’s energetic performances, with two massive concerts lined up in July. On July 5, he will headline the 22,000-capacity Waldbühne Arena in Berlin, followed by another show at the 21,000-capacity SparkassenPark Arena in Mönchengladbach on July 6.
These concerts further highlight his ability to draw massive crowds across different European cities. Speaking about his German fans, Burna Boy said, “Germany always comes with the vibes. The love is strong, and I can’t wait to bring the full experience to them.”
These tour dates will serve as a lead-up to the release of his much-anticipated album, No Sign of Weakness, which is expected to drop later in 2025. The project has already been preceded by the singles Higher and Bundle by Bundle, both of which were released in 2024 and received positive reactions from fans.
The album is expected to continue Burna Boy’s signature storytelling and deep exploration of African culture, global struggles, and personal triumphs. “This album is personal,” he revealed. “It’s about resilience, growth, and showing the world that we, as Africans, have no sign of weakness.”
Burna Boy’s dominance in the global music scene continues to grow, and his 2025 tour is expected to further cement his legacy as the African artist with the highest-grossing tours across multiple countries in Europe and North America.
Additionally, he is a strong contender for his second Grammy Award at the upcoming 67th ceremony, where he is nominated in the Best African Music Performance category.
As he prepares for another groundbreaking year, Burna Boy remains focused on taking African music to greater heights. “This is only the beginning,” he said. “We’re still going higher.”
