Tiwa Savage will be performing across 17 North American cities, starting in New York on May 15, and closing out in Toronto on June 19.

Tiwa Savage comments – “It’s crazy to believe but this is actually my first North American tour! I’ve had so much love from my US fans so I’m super excited to come and play there”
The most followed female African artist on social media, Savage has a unique talent for fusing afrobeat, r&b, soul and pop sounds and as a result effortlessly taps into audiences all over the world.

Savage has an extensive and impressive portfolio. In addition to being hand-picked by Beyonce to co-write a song for the soundtrack to The Lion King: The Gift, Savage had already worked closely with the likes of Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Frank Ocean, Mary J. Blidge, and Kelly Clarkson by the time that she started her solo career in the early 2010s.
Tiwa Savage’s is being produced by Duke Concept; the leading Afro-Caribbean live events and touring company in North America. Duke Concept’s touring roster has included the likes of Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, Fireboy, Joeboy and more.
