Asake, the rising Afrobeats sensation, continues to make history as he becomes the first Afrobeats artist to headline and sell out the iconic Barclays Centre in New York. This achievement comes on the heels of his recent sold-out performance at London’s O2 Arena.
As part of his headlining tour across North America, Asake is set to thrill his esteemed fans in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, and Washington DC. His New York concert, titled ‘Work Of Art,’ is expected to draw a crowd of 19,000 fans, making it one of the biggest concerts for a Nigerian artist in the USA in 2023.
Asake’s ‘Work Of Art’ Tour is a testament to his rising stardom and the global appeal of Afrobeats. He will electrify the audience with performances of hit songs from his recently-released sophomore album, also titled ‘Work Of Art,’ as well as songs from his record-breaking and chart-topping debut album, ‘Mr Money with the Vibe.’
This milestone achievement follows Asake’s recent triumph at the 2023 Headies Awards, where he secured two prestigious awards. He was honored with the ‘Next Rated Award’ and the coveted Album of the Year award, surpassing other talented artists like Davido, Rema, Burna Boy, and Omah Lay.
Asake’s journey as a trailblazing Afrobeats artist continues to captivate audiences worldwide, solidifying his status as a rising star in the global music scene.
