Sensational performer, Davido pulled a massive crowd, justifying his position as the King of Afrobeats, when he mounted the stage at the just-ended Are We African Yet (A.W.A.Y) festival at the State Farm Arena, Atlanta Georgia.
A sold-out concert as it was, the Unavailable crooner has since described the show as one of the “most magical nights” of his life.
The lineup included E Cool, King Promise, Lo Jay, Mayor Kun, Musa Keys, Spinall, TXC, and rising Nigerian star Victony.
All of these performers brought on their top game to produce a memorable musical experience for the revellers.
“A.W.A.Y. Fest was a MOVIE! One of the most magical nights of my life, selling out State Farm Arena with my family and friends is what we do this for. TIMELESS moments. If you were there in Atlanta, you witnessed history; if you missed it… we may be working on something massive for 2024, so stay tapped in!” Davido wrote in a Facebook post.
