Move Afrika 2025 with John Legend is coming to Lagos on February 25, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

The countdown has begun for next month\u2019s Move Afrika: Lagos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EGOT-winning, critically acclaimed, multiplatinum artist and producer, John Legend will headline Global Citizen\u2019s highly anticipated Move Afrika tour and perform at the iconic BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda, on February 21, before heading to Lagos, Nigeria, where The Palms will host the event on February 25. This year, the tour is bigger than ever, expanding its reach across the continent with stops in both East and West Africa. Get ready for an unforgettable celebration of music, impact, and unity across the continent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored and excited to perform in Kigali and Lagos as part of the Move Afrika tour \u2014 an initiative that not only brings unforgettable shows, but also creates entrepreneurship and job opportunities, empowering young people to engage with Africa\u2019s growing music and creative industries,\u201d said John Legend.<\/strong> \u201cAfrica has always been a global cultural powerhouse, and it\u2019s an honor to be part of the future of live music on the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The inaugural Move Afrika event, Move Afrika: Rwanda<\/a>, headlined by Grammy Award \u2013 and Pulitzer Prize-winning artist, Kendrick Lamar in December, 2023 was nothing short of spectacular. Artists including Zuchu, Bruce Melodie, DJ TOXXYK, Sherrie Silver, Ariel Wayz, Kivumbi King and Bruce The 1st were also featured. The event focused on job creation, skill training and youth entrepreneurship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This first-of-its-kind music touring circuit brings together the hottest African and international artists.<\/p>\n

These electrifying events are more than just shows \u2014 they\u2019re a catalyst to drive transformative investments and change. By engaging local artists, vendors, agencies and crews, Move Afrika will drive investments into local communities and create opportunities for on-the-job training and skill development. But here\u2019s where you come in: together, we can all inspire government leaders, businesses, philanthropists, artists, and citizens to take action. Whether it\u2019s through posting, tweeting, messaging, voting or signing, every action counts in driving the change the world urgently needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
