Every artist’s dream is to showcase their art to millions of people around the world, creating impact by letting the art speak for itself. Following the period breaking into the mainstream, Dapper Music artists have captivated audiences around the globe with a series of releases that have done well to extend their influence beyond the borders of the continent. Their efforts to push the sonic boundaries of the Afrobeats genre have not gone unnoticed, as they now position themselves as some of the most important personalities within the culture’s fabric as we know it.
Last year, Seyi Vibez received a plaque for selling out the O2 Indigo in August as he continues to build his status as a genuine world star. Shallipopi’s breakout year saw him make notable appearances in Russia and Germany, before selling out two shows in London in February 2024, backed by Dapper Live and its extensive list of partners. Together, they are set to headline the 2024 edition of Afronation happening in Portugal this June.
Shallipopi, as announced earlier this week, is set to go on a joint tour with ODUMODUBLVCK, continuing their dominance as a dynamic duo. Titled as Nigeria’s Most Wanted Tour, the duo who shutdown the entire country with “Cast” will begin their tour of North America on April 27th, 2024 at the Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Before that, he will return to the UK for a short tour before headlining Wireless Festival in July.
Dapper Live — our event production vertical — has set the tone for our artists’ successes performing both at home and abroad. With five shows across Nigeria under its belt in the 2023 festive season, including the inaugural Trench Fest, Dapper Live’s involvement in curating captivating experiences with and for our artists has expanded its influence across the entertainment space.
There is more excitement on the horizon as Dapper Live takes the show to Ibadan for the second edition of Trench Fest on April 11th, 2024. A star-studded lineup is expected, with Balloranking, Bhadboi OML, TI Blaze, Lasmid, Zlatan, Skiibii, Shallipopi, Seyi Vibez and many more are slated to shutdown Ibadan Polo Club.
Fans of Dapper Music artists at home and abroad are in for a treat, with several opportunities to witness their favourite artists perform their favourite songs. The Afrobeats space is a much better place because of their music, and as they connect with their old fans and gain new ones, they solidify themselves as cornerstones of the genre for the present and future.
Presale tickets to Nigeria’s Most Wanted Tour are live here. General sale begins March 8.
