Irving Plaza
It’s not every day that an icon of the Afro Beats movement gets to headline an event in NYC. Expect the Irving Plaza to be filled to the brim on Sunday, August 4th, for “An Evening with Wande Coal.” The Nigerian sensation brings his unique style of hip-hop to NYC. It’s not just going to be the Nigerian population of NYC, which is pretty significant, who will be able to enjoy this show. Wande Coal’s got beats for anyone who wants to spend a decent Sunday night at the Plaza.
If you’ve been to the Irving Plaza, you know the drill! The floor space right next to the stage is accessible with a general admission ticket. If you and your friends can get there early, you’ll be able to stand right next to the performers. Click the get tickets button to find the best spot for you on this Sunday night.
Wande Coal has been one of the most influential African artists of the last 15 years! His staying power at the top of the AfroBeats charts has been incredible. In 2010, Wande Coal ran through the Hip Hop World Awards with his album “Mushin 2 Mo'Hits.” That night, he took home 5 of the 7 awards that he was nominated for. It was really at that moment when he showed the world that he had certainly arrived. Fourteen years after his break-out party, he’s still topping the charts in many African countries. That’s why he’s one of the very few artists who’ve mostly kept their success concentrated within Africa who get a chance to come to the US and headline events at major venues. There’s no question that the Irving Plaza is a spot where only the best in hip-hop get a chance to headline. Wande Coal’s career has more than enough credentials to get him his own show in NYC.
Currently, Wande Coal only has two US stops booked, including this night in NYC. If you want to see one of the top acts in African music, it’s either this date or one a few days later in Silver Spring, Maryland. This could cause many fans of African beats to descend upon NYC for this date. Plus, it’s the Irving Plaza on a Sunday! Doors are at 7pm for this event. If you’ve got floor tickets you know that you want to get here early. There’s no info on the opening acts, but there might be other artists gracing the stage. Expect almost a rap battle to unfold with some of the best names in African music.
If you don’t want to be in a hurry to get to the Irving Plaza on Sunday August 4th it could be a great excuse to buy tickets in the loft area. That’s the more private spot that’s to the side of the stage. It won’t get as crowded as the main floor. Now, if you really want to kick things up a notch, you can convince your friends to find a spot in the high-top area. That’s where the real VIPs are going to be on that Sunday night! Click the get tickets button to ensure you don’t miss out on this opportunity to see one of the top African artists live.
