Nigerian superstar Burna Boy is ready to take his music to the next level with his upcoming tour, ‘I Told Them…’, starting with a historic show at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on August 25th. The Grammy-winning singer announced the tour on his social media platforms, along with the tracklist and features of his seventh studio album, titled ‘I Told Them…’.
The tour will see Burna Boy perform in 25 cities across North America and Europe, including New York, Chicago, Toronto, London, Paris, and Berlin.

The tour will also feature special guests and surprises along the way.
Burna Boy’s LA stadium show will mark his first time performing at the newly built SoFi Stadium, which has a capacity of over 70,000 for NFL games and can be expanded to accommodate about 100,000 for concerts. He will be the first African artist to headline a show at the state-of-the-art venue, home to the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers.
Burna Boy’s album, ‘I Told Them…’, is expected to be another masterpiece from the afro-fusion star, who has been dominating the global music scene with his unique blend of dancehall, reggae, afrobeat, and pop. The album will feature 15 songs, including the lead single ‘Big 7’, with a star-studded music video featuring Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, Busta Rhymes, Junior Mafia, and actor Shameik Moore.
