In a stadium in Queens, the Afrobeats star and his inner circle pull off his biggest U.S. show to date.
. By the time he appears on the Citi Field stage in Queens to the screams of thousands in the sold-out stadium, flashing his flirtatious grin before launching into a two-hour set, he’s been at the venue for six hours.

Saturday’s concert — the 32-year-old’s biggest in the United States — is the first time a Nigerian artist is headlining a stadium show in this country. Last year, Burna made history when he became the first Nigerian artist to headline Madison Square Garden, a venue that can contain just half the audience at Citi Field. His rise to MSG and Citi comes after years of steady work and smaller New York shows.
