BurnaBoy’s July 8 “Love, Damini World Tour” will hold at the Citi Field Baseball Stadium New York City, United States.

The “Common Person, “It’s Plenty” singer is expected to make stops at Paris La Defense, London Stadium and Gelre Dome in Amsterdam.

Burna Boy’s Citi Field stop, being produced by Live Nation; falls on the first anniversary of the singer’s latest album, Love, Damini.

The album has peaked on the Number 2 spot on Billboard‘s World Albums Chart and had received a 2023 Grammy nomination for the Best Global Music Album.
