Who is Wizkid?
Wizkid, born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter from the Surulere district of Lagos. Superstar made him a star at home, and Ojuelegba plus the Drake collaboration One Dance carried Afrobeats onto global radio.
Essence, from Made in Lagos, entered the US chart with a vocal from Tems. His concerts become a night of live rhythm, dancing and back-to-back hits.

Live rhythm and the dance floor at a Wizkid show
A Wizkid night is an Afrobeats run of songs such as Ojuelegba, Essence ve Mood, built for dancing. The front floor moves from start to finish; people who prefer to watch can choose a tier.
On Essence the room slows for a moment, then songs such as Mood lift the floor again.
Price the whole trip when you pick a city
A European stop in a city such as London or Paris feels different from a hometown show. A cheaper Wizkid ticket can still be the more expensive night once flights and accommodation are included.
Buying the ticket before a non-refundable flight is the safer order.
Wizkid upcoming dates
Four steps for a Wizkid ticket
- Check the running order and the likely end time on the Wizkid listing.
- Choose the floor to dance, or a tier to watch.
- Separate a festival day from a solo concert.
- Plan the journey home for after midnight.
What to know before the show
- The crowd sings the songs back.
- The front floor dances throughout.
- The set can start long after doors.
- Stay with the official seller.
Planning a trip to see Wizkid
Secure the official Wizkid ticket before booking a non-refundable flight. Aim to arrive no later than the day before the show and stay somewhere with a reliable late route back from the venue.
Compare at least two cities using the full cost of the ticket, flight, two nights of accommodation and post-show transport. A cheaper ticket can still produce the more expensive trip.
Keep planning
