After shutting down the 80K-capacity London stadium and with the U.S. next on the list, Burna Boy seems to be unstoppable at this moment.
The Nigerian superstar is gearing up to co-headline the 2023 UEFA Champions League Final Kick-Off Show with Pepsi this weekend. He will co-headline the show with Brazilian superstar Anitta, with Alesso confirmed as a special guest.
The final between English club Manchester City and Italian club Inter Milan will play this Saturday, 10 June at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.
It is speculated the Nigerian sensation will receive a significant sum of up to $2 million for his 10-minute performance during the UEFA Champions League final. Notably, this makes him the first African artist to ever perform at a UCL final.
In addition to his fees, a detailed report from Africa Nation reveals that the artist’s booking requirements include a 13-seater challenger jet vetted by his management team. Furthermore, upon arrival in any city or country, Burna Boy expects to be greeted by a convoy of five vehicles, consisting of a Sprinter bus, a van, and three SUVs, which should be available throughout his stay—a common request for touring artists.
Burna Boy’s participation in the UEFA Champions League Final Kick-Off Show marks another milestone in his career as he continues to make waves globally. His demand and requirements for performances reflect his status as a highly sought-after artist, and it is clear that his success has elevated him to new heights in the music industry.
