Wizkid Announces North American Leg of ‘Morayo’ Tour, Set to Deliver a Special Performance in LA
Afrobeats heavyweight Wizkid has announced North American leg of ‘Morayo’ tour, and is set to deliver a special performance in LA. Wizkid is taking his Morayo tour to North America, adding another chapter to what’s shaping up to be a landmark year for the global star. The Nigerian hitmaker made the announcement on Instagram, sharing a playful “Morayo Tour Hotline video” where “operators” urge fans to grab their tickets fast—one even quipping, “People are grabbing seats like it’s the last plate of jollof.”
The six-city tour kicks off June 5 at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, with stops in New York, Toronto, Baltimore, and Houston, before wrapping on June 22 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where Wizkid will deliver a special performance alongside the Color of Noize Orchestra.
This announcement follows his European tour dates, which include Berlin’s Velodrome Arena (May 21), Rotterdam’s Ahoy RTM Stage (May 23), and Paris’ Accor Arena (May 25)—all of which are already selling fast.
Wizkid’s sixth studio album, Morayo, released in November 2024, has been a defining moment in his career. Named after his late mother, Morayo—which translates to “I see joy”in Yoruba—blends Afrobeats, R&B, and global influences. The project features heavyweight collaborations with Brent Faiyaz, Asake, Tiakola, Jazmine Sullivan, and Anaïs Cardot, and includes standout singles like “Piece of My Heart” and “Kese (Dance)”.
The Morayo era has already earned Wizkid another milestone, with Piece of My Heart winning Best Contemporary Duo or Group at the 2025 NAACP Awards. And with a history of record-breaking performances—selling out London’s O2 Arena three nights in a row and headlining Tottenham Hotspur Stadium—fans can expect nothing less than magic when he hits the stage this summer.
Tickets for Wizkid’s North American leg of ‘Morayo’ tour are available starting Wednesday, March 12, at 12 p.m. (local time) via an artist presale, using the code MORAYO, while general sales open on Friday, March 14, at 10 a.m. (local time) via his official website.
