Nigerian Artists That Have Performed At International Festivals In 2019

Such an exciting thing to see Nigerian musicians shutting down stages at the global level. Afrobeats is quickly gaining traction in the international scene and this has seen Nigerian artists perform at various international festivals.

I mentioned in an article I posted some weeks back that performing at festivals is a good metric for the growth of Afrobeats. Because it shows that there is true demand for the Nigerian sound.

So far, some eminent Nigerian artists have performed at different festivals, concerts, major shows this year. It is important that we keep track of such memorable stuff.

We have compiled a list of all Nigerian artists that have performed at global concerts and festivals this year.

Wizkid

Mr Eazi remains one of the most successful Afrobeats acts we've seen in the Nigerian music industry.

As his music is resonating with the American and European audience, the singer is building a massive platform for himself and emerging acts.

Mr Eazi performed at Coachella in April too. His set was too turnt.

Lady Donli

The queen of Alte Lady Donli has been doing very for herself. Her hit single Cash is one of the hottest songs by an Alte act this year.

The singer performed at La Isla Social Club and her performance was one for the books.

Wande is one of the most gifted singers we have in the Nigerian music industry. The singer has consistently dished out bangers as he shuttles between Nigeria and UK.
