Band on the Wall is thrilled to present the afrobeat icon Femi Kuti. Renowned for his relentless energy and powerful, vibrant performances, Femi continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his thought-provoking messages and exhilarating shows.

In 2021, he released ‘Stop The Hate’, an album which showcases Femi’s signature afrobeat sound, honed over a storied career, and reflects his unwavering commitment to political and social activism. The track ‘PaPaPa’ received glowing acclaim from top international critics and earned a nomination at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

Despite his tireless efforts for social justice, Femi’s boundless passion and drive remain undiminished. His advocacy for global causes has been both tireless and impactful, with his recent performances serving as a testament to his influence and brilliance.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to see Femi Kuti and his ensemble, The Positive Force, as they bring an electrifying celebration of Africa to the UK.
