African Giant- Burna Boy continues to make major steps in his music career after being confirmed as a co-headliner at this year’s UEFA Champions League finals kick off show, which is set for the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul on Saturday, June 10.

Burna shared the news via his official Tik Tok page on Monday as part of their promotion to build excitement for Europe’s biggest football show piece.

“Hello everyone, this is Burna Boy and I’ve got some big news. I’ll be performing at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick-Off Show by Pepsi, Come on! Let’s go!” said Burna before sharing details on how fans can be part of the grand finale.

“The world isn’t ready for what we have in store,” said Burna Boy ahead of his performance.

Burna has arguably been one of the most notarized artistes globally over the last 12 months, snagging several certifications across multiple markets, award nominations, as well as appearances on several charts.

The Pepsi-endorsed Champions League performance further consolidates Burna’s continuous global reach and ever-expanding fan base.

The Grammy winner whose ‘Last Last’ was among the top songs for the summer in 2022, is still reveling in the song’s official RIAA platinum certification in March.
