Global Afrobeats icon Wizkid is officially back, and he’s bringing his music to fans worldwide with the highly anticipated Morayo World Tour 2025. This tour marks his return to live performances after nearly three years, and with multiple stops across Europe, North America, Africa, and beyond, it’s set to be one of the most exciting Afrobeats tours of the year.

Wizkid’s Evolution: A Global Pioneer of Afrobeats
Few artists have had an impact on global music like Wizkid. From his early days with “Holla at Your Boy” to becoming an international superstar with hits like “Ojuelegba,” “Come Closer,” and “Essence,” he has consistently pushed the boundaries of Afrobeats.
His 2020 album, “Made in Lagos,” catapulted him to even greater heights, with “Essence” (featuring Tems) becoming the first Nigerian song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The track’s remix with Justin Bieber further solidified Wizkid’s influence, making it one of the most streamed Afrobeats songs ever.
With the Morayo Tour, Wizkid is once again proving that Afrobeats is not just a genre—it’s a global movement.
