Burna Boy

Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy is finally making his long-awaited return to Kenya, more than five years since his last performance left fans divided. 

The Twice as Tall hitmaker has officially announced his Kenyan concert date—March 1, 2025—and the excitement is already palpable.

The Big Announcement

Taking to his social media, Burna Boy dropped the bombshell with his signature style—minimalistic but effective. His post simply read “March 1st, 2025” alongside the Kenyan flag. It was enough to send his East African fans into a frenzy, with thousands sharing the news and expressing their anticipation.

This announcement is part of a series of updates Burna has been sharing to alert fans worldwide about his upcoming global tour. And for Kenya, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Burna Boy’s Rocky History with Kenya

Burna Boy’s last performance in Kenya was at the 2019 NRG Wave Festival, an event that left fans with mixed feelings. Many criticized his set for being lackluster, especially compared to his usual high-energy, globally acclaimed performances.

Now, with a Grammy and numerous international accolades under his belt, fans are hoping he’ll bring his A-game and deliver a concert worth remembering.

The African Giant’s Global Reign

Since his 2019 visit, Burna Boy’s star has only continued to rise. He has sold out massive venues across the globe, from Madison Square Garden to London’s O2 Arena, cementing his status as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports.

His 2021 Grammy win for Best Global Music Album was a watershed moment, proving to the world why he proudly calls himself the African Giant.

East African Collaborations

Burna Boy has always had a soft spot for East Africa, collaborating with some of the region’s biggest names.

He teamed up with Tanzania’s Diamond Platnumz and Harmonize for the banger Kainama.

He partnered with Kenya’s Sauti Sol for tracks like Time Flies and Afrikan Star, both of which became instant fan favorites.

His return to Kenya, therefore, feels like a homecoming to a region that has long embraced his artistry.

Fans Are Buzzing

The announcement has ignited a wave of speculation and excitement. Will Burna Boy redeem himself after his controversial 2019 performance? Will he drop a surprise collaboration with an East African artist during the concert? One thing’s for sure—March 1, 2025, is a date to mark on every Kenyan music lover’s calendar.
