Veteran Afrobeats legend D’banj has confirmed that a massive joint tour featuring himself, 2Baba (2Face), and Timaya is officially in the works — a celebration of their two-decade impact on African music.
In a recent interview with Adesope Live in London, the ‘Oliver Twist’ hitmaker revealed that the idea came during candid conversations with his longtime industry peers. “Timaya told me, ‘Banger, you’ve done enough entrepreneurship. It’s time to come out,’” D’banj said, adding that 2Face also reached out, proposing a collaborative tour. “We have great bodies of work… So yes, we will be going on a tour.”
Key Details:
- The Tour: A joint effort by three of Afrobeats’ most influential pioneers.
- Tour Theme: Expected to be a “thank you” to fans who’ve supported their 20-year journey.
- New Music: D’banj and 2Baba will also drop a new single titled “Feeling Good” soon.
- Industry Reflection: D’banj praised the global rise of Afrobeats and the crucial role of the African diaspora, saying “Now everybody is Afrobeats, everybody is African.”
Why This Matters:
These three icons helped shape the golden era of Nigerian music — before global streaming, before viral TikToks. A joint tour isn’t just nostalgia; it’s a tribute to the roots of a genre that now dominates global charts.
What’s Next:
Dates and venues for the tour are yet to be announced, but anticipation is already sky-high. With new music and old classics, fans across Africa, Europe, and the diaspora are bracing for an unforgettable Afrobeats reunion.
