Falz has announced he’s hosting the second edition of his headline concert, The Falz Experience.
Internationally-acclaimed Nigerian entertainer says the five-hour live concert will feature him performing with support from friends of the artiste including Simi, Ycee amongst others to the delight of over 10,000 fans at Eko Convention Centre on June 8, 2019.
With early bird tickets already sold out, it is expected that the show will surpass the record-breaking 100 million views recording by the debut edition in 2017.
The maiden edition of the show, which reportedly gulped a whooping sum of N300 million, elevated the concert experience in Nigeria and the follow-up edition promises to be even more groundbreaking.
Fans will be able to suggest ideas to the two-time AMVCA winner about what they would like to see at the show with the hashtag #WhatWillFalzDo. From the songs they’d like to hear and even which version of Falz they would like to see, Falz is putting the power in the hands of the fans to help him create an engaging concert like no other.
The event will be produced by Livespot productions.
Speaking on why he’s putting the fans at the centre of this edition, Falz said, “My fans are the core of my career. I am nothing without their love and support and that’s why I’m putting The Falz Experience together, just for them. I would love to get ideas and comments from them on how we can make The Falz Experience bigger and better. The idea behind The Falz Experience II is to bring all their thoughts together to build a fantastic show. It’s a music concert that will incorporate different elements of my art, with support from the many colleagues I have collaborated with and of course, my fans.”
Falz (real name Folarin Falana) is a law graduate from the University of Reading, whose career began in secondary school when he, along with friends, established a musical group called ‘The School Boys’.
Years down the line, Falz has more than proved himself as not only a talented artiste but one with versatility. Singles such as ‘Something Light’, ‘Soft Work’, ‘Karishika’, ‘Wehdone Sir’, ‘Bad Gang’, ‘Soldier’ amongst others and a critically acclaimed album, Moral Instruction, have earned him not only organic airplay but have helped carve a niche in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Also known for his antics as Segun on the popular series Jenifa’s Diary, Falz is the proud winner of several awards. Some of which are: Best in a Comedy Series/ Movie for the 2018 and 2016 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards ((AMVCA), Viewers’ Choice Best New International Act for the 2016 BET Awards, Album of the Year for the 2016 City People Entertainment Awards, Best Afro Hip Hop Video for the 9th Nigeria Music Video Awards, as well as several nominations.
Premier creative collective, Livespot, will be producing The Falz Experience for the second time in a row which should come as exciting news for the fans. Livespot became a household name after brilliantly producing Darey’s Love Like A Movie concert series. They brought the same energy and level of creativity to Falz’s debut concert and we can only imagine that they’ll exceed expectations once more this year.
Tickets to The Falz Experience II can be purchased from NairaBox, Ariiyatickets & Afritickets.
