Afrobeats megastar Wizkid lit up the iconic Hollywood Bowl with a landmark live performance that featured orchestral renditions of his greatest hits, offering fans an unforgettable night of music, magic, and mastery.
The Grammy-winning star took the stage just days after the premiere of his Love Live Lagos documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival. The Hollywood Bowl concert saw him perform chart-topping classics as well as standout tracks from his 2023 album Morayo, this time reimagined with a full live orchestra, adding a cinematic dimension to the experience.
Wizkid also surprised fans by bringing out Asake for a joint performance of their fan-favorite collaboration MMS, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
The concert marks a rare live appearance for the Starboy himself, who has been relatively quiet on the touring scene after canceling several previously scheduled dates. For many fans, this performance felt like a return to form, intimate, immersive, and musically rich.
The orchestral show followed the buzz around Love Live Lagos, a documentary chronicling Wizkid’s rise from Lagos streets to global stages. The film features commentary from notable voices in the industry including Femi Kuti, Jada Pollock, Sunday Are, Julie Adenuga, and Seni Saraki, highlighting Wizkid’s influence not just as a musician, but as a cultural movement.
With fans still reeling from his Hollywood Bowl performance and his growing list of collaborations, including recent features with Ayra Starr and Olamide, all eyes are on what’s next for Wizkid. Whether it’s a full tour announcement or more musical surprises, one thing is clear: the Starboy is far from done shining.
