On October 23, 2024, Burna Boy electrified the Peacock Centre in Los Angeles, delighting fans with a performance that showcased a collection of his hit singles. The two-day concert, titled Headliners Only, featured a special collaboration with American-Senegalese music icon Akon.
During the event, the audience was treated to an exclusive preview of an unreleased track from Burna Boy’s upcoming album, generating excitement among attendees. This performance marked the second time Burna Boy has teased new music, following his earlier reveal of the song “Empty Chairs,” which is expected to be part of his album set for release in 2025.
2024 has been a landmark year for Burna Boy, as he made history in February by becoming the first African artist to perform at the Grammy Awards’ main ceremony. He also achieved the distinction of being the first Nigerian nominated as a lead artist outside of the Global categories at the 66th Grammy Awards.
Despite only releasing one single in 2024, titled “Higher,” which took fans on an emotional journey back to his hometown, Burna Boy has maintained his status as a chart-topping artist. The song spent several weeks on the TurnTable Top 100. Additionally, he made notable guest appearances this year, including a chart-topping collaboration on TiTom and Yuppe’s “Twala Bam,” and contributing to Coldplay’s “We Pray” alongside Little Simz.
