Ghana’s Stonebwoy announces world tour
Ghana’s Stonebwoy has announced a world tour in support of his upcoming LP Album 5, which is due for release this month.
The musician will be on the road from March to May across North America and Europe. The 12-city tour will include stops in New York, London, Manchester, Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin and Amsterdam, among others.
The BET Award winner will perform songs from his extensive catalogue, most notably off 2020’s ground-breaking Anloga Junction album.
Born Livingstone Satekla, Stonebwoy has been a dominant presence in Ghana’s pop scene since 2012, fusing Afropop, dancehall and reggae. He recently became the first Ghanaian artist to reach 100 million streams on Audiomack.
Speaking to Music In Africa last year, the musician said his upcoming album – which has been heralded by the singles ‘More of You’, ‘Therapy’ and ‘Gidigba’ – would further his vision of taking his music to global audiences by “tapping into sounds that travel beyond the typical Ghanaian or African mindset yet appeal to all.”
Stonebwoy joined Def Jam Africa last year, with the label representing the musician across Africa, and Def Jam Recordings and 0207 Def Jam providing support in the US and UK.
Meanwhile, Fellow African popstar Wizkid is pushing back his More Love, Less Ego American tour to later in the year. The tour was initially scheduled to commence on 3 March at Houston’s Toyota Center, with stops planned in multiple cities including Dallas, Orlando and Miami.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances the Wizkid More Love, Less Ego Tour has been postponed to Fall 2023,” the artist said on Instagram. “All tickets purchased for the originally scheduled shows will be honored on the new dates at the respective venues. Stay tuned for more information.”
