Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Kizz Daniel set the stage ablaze last night with a high-energy performance at the iconic Annexet arena in Stockholm, captivating a sold-out crowd of over 4,000 devoted fans. The electrifying show, part of his ongoing "Unruly World Tour," marked the artist's triumphant return to Sweden and solidified his status as a global force in contemporary African music.
Kizz Daniel, born Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, took the audience on an unforgettable journey through his chart-topping discography, blending infectious rhythms, soulful melodies, and his signature charismatic stage presence. Opening with the pulsating hit "Buga," the 30-year-old superstar had the crowd on their feet from the first note, with fans chanting lyrics and waving Nigerian flags in a sea of vibrant energy. Highlights included a soul-stirring rendition of "Lie" that sparked emotional sing-alongs, a high-octane collaboration tease with local Swedish DJs on "Shu-peru," and a surprise acoustic set of "Madu," which left the audience in awe of his vocal prowess.
"This is more than a concert—it's a celebration of resilience, rhythm, and unity," Kizz Daniel shared backstage. "Sweden has always shown me love, and tonight, we turned that love into pure magic. Afrobeats is taking over the world, and I'm honored to be leading the charge right here in Stockholm."
The performance comes on the heels of Kizz Daniel's recent global milestones, including sold-out shows across Europe and a feature on Billboard's "21 Under 21" list. His latest album, HFM (His Favorite Melody), continues to dominate streaming platforms, amassing over 500 million streams worldwide since its 2024 release. Fans raved about the show's production, praising the immersive lighting, pyrotechnics, and a guest appearance by rising Swedish-Nigerian artist Tems, who joined for a medley of their collaborative tracks.
Event promoter Live Nation Sweden hailed the night as a landmark for Afrobeats in Scandinavia. "Kizz Daniel's energy is unmatched. We've seen a 300% surge in ticket sales for African artists this year, and this show proves why—it's not just music; it's a cultural movement," said promoter Anna Svensson.
As Kizz Daniel's tour rolls on to Copenhagen and Amsterdam, his Stockholm triumph underscores the growing global appetite for Afrobeats.
