Nigeria's Mayorkun to tour North America

The tour will see the Afropop artist hit the stage in venues across the US and Canada, including Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York City, Houston, Atlanta and Los Angeles, among others.

Ticket details are available here.

“USA & Canada! September 2022, we are fully outside! I’m bringing the heat and all the hits,” Mayorkun said. 

On the road, Mayorkun will be promoting his sophomore LP Back In Office which was released last year with 'Holy Father' as its focus track. The LP has racked up millions of streams and spent 13 weeks on the UK Afrobeats chart. He will be performing songs from his catalogue, including his 2020 Geng EP that guests Nigeria’s MI and YCee, Kwesi Arthur (Ghana), Riky Rick (South Africa), Rayvanny (Tanzania) and Innoss B (DRC).

Mayorkun's latest single, titled ‘No Competition’ blends Afrobeats with Amapiano.
