The Nigerian star brought his latest global campaign to one of Atlanta’s biggest stages, with Uncle Waffles joining him for the show.

Atlanta, United States (Running Africa) — Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake brought his In God We Trust World Tour to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on August 30, continuing a major North American run that underscores the growing international reach of African music.

The concert at the 21,000-capacity State Farm Arena featured South African amapiano star Uncle Waffles as special guest, bringing together two of the continent’s prominent contemporary music exports on one of Atlanta’s biggest stages.

The Atlanta performance forms part of Asake’s latest international tour following the release of his project MONEY, with the Nigerian singer taking his distinctive combination of Afrobeats, Fuji and amapiano-influenced sounds across North America before returning to Europe.

Asake Performs at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, Uncle Waffles Joins Asake as Special Guest

Atlanta represented one of the major stops on the North American leg of Asake’s In God We Trust World Tour.

The Nigerian artist took the stage at State Farm Arena on August 30 as his tour continued through some of the biggest music markets in the United States and Canada.

Performing at the arena represents another significant international appearance for Asake, whose rise has helped position him among the Nigerian artists driving Afrobeats’ expanding global audience.

Atlanta has also become an important American market for African music, supported by a large African diaspora and a strong connection to hip-hop and contemporary Black music culture.

South African DJ and amapiano star Uncle Waffles joined the Atlanta concert as a special guest.

Her appearance brought an additional South African dimension to a show already heavily influenced by the growing crossover between Afrobeats and amapiano.

Uncle Waffles has emerged as one of amapiano’s most internationally recognisable figures, helping take the South African genre to audiences around the world.

Sharing the State Farm Arena stage with Asake highlighted the increasingly interconnected nature of contemporary African music, where Nigerian and South African sounds are reaching overlapping global audiences.

Asake’s North American Tour Covers Major US and Canadian Cities

The North American leg of the In God We Trust World Tour began in Chicago on August 20.

Asake has since taken the tour through Toronto, Montreal, Brooklyn, Boston and Columbia, before arriving in Atlanta.

Following the Atlanta performance, the tour is scheduled to continue through major US cities including Miami, Houston and Los Angeles.

The itinerary places Asake in several of North America’s most important live music markets and represents another ambitious international run for the Nigerian performer.

‘MONEY’ Project Fuels Asake’s Latest World Tour

The tour follows the release of Asake’s latest project, MONEY, providing the singer with a new body of material for his international performances.

Asake has developed a distinctive musical identity by combining Afrobeats with Fuji influences, street-pop elements and amapiano-inspired production.

That sound has helped distinguish him within Nigeria’s highly competitive music industry while also giving his work broad appeal beyond the continent.

The In God We Trust World Tour represents the latest effort to translate that popularity into a growing international live audience.

Asake Heads to London and Paris After North American Dates

After completing the North American leg, Asake is scheduled to return to Europe for another series of major performances.

Among the most prominent dates is a show at London’s O2 Arena on October 15, one of the United Kingdom’s leading indoor concert venues.

He is also scheduled to perform at Paris’ Accor Arena on October 24.

The London and Paris appearances will continue an international schedule spanning some of the world’s largest music markets.

Asake Tour Highlights Global Growth of Afrobeats and Amapiano

Asake’s Atlanta performance, alongside Uncle Waffles, reflects the continuing international expansion of two of Africa’s most influential contemporary music movements: Afrobeats and amapiano.

African artists are increasingly moving beyond festival appearances and smaller international venues to headline major arenas across North America and Europe.

For Asake, performing at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena represents another step in that progression.

With further dates in the United States before major European performances in London and Paris, the In God We Trust World Tour is positioning the Nigerian star for another significant international chapter while carrying African sounds to audiences far beyond the continent.
