Having established himself as one of Afrobeats' most skillful and exciting live performers, the multi-award-winning star is taking his stagemanship to a whole new level with an orchestra performance that will further showcase his artistry and the rich musicality of some of his timeless work.
Since announcing himself on the Nigerian mainstream over a decade ago with ‘Sade’, a soothing cultural take on One Direction’s hit record ‘Story of My Life’, Adekunle Gold has become an acclaimed songwriter, singer, and innovator.
He gave Nigerian modern folk music an identity with his classic albums ‘Gold’ and ‘About 30’. He reinvented himself into a chart-topping popstar with the hit-filled albums ‘Afro-pop Vol 1’ and ‘Catch Me If You Can’.
His fifth album, ‘Tequila Ever After’, is a testament to his status as a genre-fusing maestro whose music holds a musicality and depth that embraces all listeners.
While Adekunle Gold has successfully taken on different artistic personas, his elevated stagemanship continues to be a common denominator in his illustrious career.
In 2023, he delivered a news-making set at the famous Rock music-themed Roskilde Festival in Denmark, which was a daring attempt for an Afrobeats artist.
Adekunle Gold’s desire to showcase his artistic depth and unmatched stagecraft has now led him to the storied London Jazz Festival, where he will be making Nigerian history and further emphasising his status as a trendsetter.
Tickets to see Adekunle Gold’s historic performance at the Royal Festival Hall will go live on Friday, June 6, 2025, and will be available at The London Jazz Festival website.
