About

As the man behind some of Lady Gaga’s biggest hits and a featured artist on over 35 Billboard Hot 100 singles, Senegalese-raised R&B singer/producer Akon is one of the most ubiquitous – and unique – artists in contemporary hip hop. With 2013 the release of “Angel,” the David Guetta-produced lead single from his upcoming fourth studio album Stadium, Akon scored another hit and signaled a turn towards an increasingly dance-oriented sound. “Angel” follows the success of 2009’s chart-topping Freedom, which added to his already-impressive solo career with hits like “Right Now (Na Na Na)” and “I’m So Paid (feat. Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy).” Splitting time between New Jersey and Senegal as a child, Akon developed a unique musical sensibility inspired by West African musical traditions East Coast hip hop. A singer and multi-instrumentalist, he attracted the attention of label execs in 2003 with “Lonely,” which would go on to be a No. 1 single from his 2004 debut Trouble. 2006 follow-up Konvicted proved even more successful, earning Akon several Grammy nominations and his first No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “I Wanna Love You (feat. Snoop Dogg).” Ticket buyers rave about Akon’s positive energy and special guest-filled live concerts, while looking forward to the upcoming release of his fourth studio album Stadium.

    It was fun!

    by Aishteru on 12/3/23Hollywood Palladium - Hollywood

    Me and my friend enjoy the show so much. From the ticketing, the line outside, and from getting people inside the venue. It went smoothly.

    Sorely disappointed

    by JM on 12/3/23Hollywood Palladium - Hollywood

    The show began 2 and 1/2 hours after the start time on the ticket. I paid for VIP seating in the upper deck of the Palladium but could not see the stage at all. There were entire sections with seats, empty but we had to stand behind the empty chairs. Had to go downstairs and sit in the ADA to see. This was not worth me paying the $100 for the show. Additionally, on 11/30/23, Akon’s sound was so bad they had to stop the set a minimum of four times. At one point he told the crowd to take a ten minute break. I left the show early out of frustration and lack of professionalism.

    Great show, however

    by Dani on 11/22/23Fillmore Minneapolis presented by Affinity Plus - Minneapolis

    I was a major Akon fan back when he was mainstream so I mainly attended this show for nostalgia reasons, it was SO much fun to see him live performing all of his classic songs and truthfully I had a blast. However, I didn't appreciate that the show started one hour late, the audience was becoming irritated. Additionally, he lip synced the whole show, which is always a bit of a let down. If the show had started on time, and if he would have at least sang SOME songs live, it would've been a 5/5 rating!

    Not as expected

    by Ashton on 11/19/23The Fillmore Detroit - Detroit

    I don’t think Akon’s could have had his concert at the Fillmore. I felt like general admission was way too packed. I also felt as though Akon could have had a better performance maybe even some dancers? Love all the songs he played. Still love Akon!

    Great show

    by T-roy on 11/18/23REBEL - Toronto

    Akon is an amazing artist, so fun and entertaining from beginning to end! The only reason I gave him 4 stars is because he didn’t play my favourite song, Still a Survivor!

    Hard to see

    Akon at memoire

    by Akonn on 11/14/23Memoire - Everett

    Overall I had a great time but they sold far too many tickets the place was shoulder to shoulder and it caused many fights to break out as a result of people pushing past each other.
