In Duluth, Minnesota, the renowned Ghanaian singer-songwriter captivated fans with his unique blend of contagious energy, soulful vocals, and a personal connection that defines his amazing creativity.
The Bayfront Reggae & World Music Festival event, described as an incredible spectacle that marked a critical milestone on his much-anticipated tour, marked the formal start of Stonebwoy’s massive world tour, suitably named after the current album “5th Dimension.”
The event began with an explosion of lights and music, engulfing the audience in a frenzy of expectation and excitement.
Stonebwoy’s electric show was a tour de force of brilliance and ingenuity from the first note to the last. His performance, which combined elements of Afropop, Afrobeats, Amapiano reggae, and dancehall, demonstrated the range and depth of his musical expertise.
The international superstar effortlessly navigated through a catalogue of chart-topping hits, including songs from his new album such as “Life & Money” featuring UK rap heavyweight Stormzy; “Manodzi” featuring multi-Grammy award-winning singer Angelique Kidjo; “Therapy”, “Far Away”, “Apotheke”, “My Sound”, “Into The Future” and “Non-Stop”.
Other popular singles such as “Strength & Hope,” “Nominate”, “Activate”, “Most Original”, Shuga,” and “Run Go” were each met with an overwhelming response from the sea of concertgoers who sang along in unison.
The 5TH Dimension tour continues its journey across North America and Canada, before heading to Europe later this year for a three-date UK tour.
Meanwhile, Stonebwoy’s next stop is in Georgetown, Guyana, at the Emancipation Festival on August 1. From there, he is expected to wind through a total of 10 major U.S. and Canadian cities all in August. Tickets are out now.
