Burna Boy excels at electrifying O2 Forum Kentish Town intimate show in London

Yesterday evening, GRAMMY Award-winning superstar Burna Boy played an exclusive Priority gig for just 2000 fans at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London to mark the release of his new album, ‘No Signs Of Weakness’.

Just days after playing Wireless Festival at Finsbury Park alongside the likes of Drake and Vybz Kartel, last night was a celebration, a rare chance to see the first African artist to headline and sell out a stadium in the UK perform in such an intimate venue.

Delivering a powerful and electrifying performance, Burna Boy took to the stage with an emphatic setlist brimming with fresh tracks from his latest album ‘No Signs of Weakness‘, and backed by a full live band whose dynamic instrumentation elevated the experience. His stage presence radiated confidence and raw emotion, while his commanding vocals, rich in tone and nuance, blended effortlessly with the band’s arrangements, creating an infectious energy that reverberated throughout the Forum.

Together, they transformed the venue into an immersive soundscape, pulsing with rhythm, soul, and Burna’s unmistakable Afro-fusion flair, fully drawing the audience into the world of his new album, which he went on to tell the crowd, ” (the album) is like a therapy session for me, so if you love this album you’ll be my therapist”.

On the gig, Burna Boy commented: “Big thanks to O2 for bringing us together in London to celebrate the new album. It’s an honour to share No Sign of Weakness with the world and feel this kind of energy from my people.”

Tickets to the show were made available for free, exclusively to O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers via a Priority from O2 ballot, the latest in a series of Priority gigs from O2 which has featured Loyle Carner, Girls Aloud, RAYE, D-Block Europe and Kylie Minogue so far.
