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.
Wow he was punctual and a performer ! I forgot how much I missed his energy and his musical talents as an act all together till this show, it was amazing
Great sounds, choreography, very good service. Was my first time at the Tabernacle, and I can’t wait to attend more concerts there.
No words can explain how amazing this was for me. He didn’t fail at all he exceeded every expectation I had and played every song I love. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
The venue was amazing. The seating was spacious and there was a two bars on every level. The general admission tickets were honestly the best spot in the building to experience the show. Akon did not disappoint by doing all of his hits and features. My favorite part was when he brought out AMIRROR and she delivered as expected. I recommend anyone who can go to please experience this show for yourself.
Gave me alll the 2000s feels i love love love him i wanna see him again 😍
hands-down, one of the best concerts I have ever been to, his voice was amazing to hear live and the vibes were great!!
He was excellent in concert, I love his music but wasn't certain how he would be in concert!!!!!!!
high energy, great set list, intimate venue and crowd. Wow.
AKON KNOWS HOW TO GET A CROWD GOING AND THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE SEEN HIM IN 3 WEEKS. I SAW HIM IN ORLANDO AT MARDI GRAS AND HE WAS AMAZING THERE ALSO. HE SANG ALL HIS HIT S SONGS AND SOME SONGS THAT WERE AWESOME THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. HE INTERACTED WITH THE CROWD ABOVE AND BEYOND.
As a 53 yr old hip mother of 4 taking 5 college girls to the Akon concert in Wellington Stadium, I found the venue perfect and the value incredible and the concert first class ... loved the music, as I listen to all of Akon on my IPOD, courtesy of my one daughter ... the acoustics outdoors was awesome and it wasn't crowded and for the 48$ ticket, "wat a deal" ... also appreciated that He did not swear but once ... kinda nice! I recognized 95% of the songs which impressed me ... so popular ...
Great act, venue was well lais out and looked great, horses were also amazing
The best shows I seen! He has so much positive energy you cant believe it!!
ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS THAT I HAVE SEEN ALL YEAR. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEARS POWER HOUSE
Akon was very very good. I think he gave the crowd more than they were expecting. Pit bull was excellent. the show was unforgetable. Only problem is the event staff said no cameras. we took ours back and we get inside and everbody had one. Made my wife so mad!
I was kind of dissapointed because We could not understand anything they were saying over the mics. And I thought the place would be a lot more pumped for a concert like that. But the one I did love was Pitbull! He got the crowd so lived up and poppin!
This concert kicked ass! hell yeah this concert was dope
I went to see the concert to see Flo Rida. He was fun to watch but the sound was painfully distorted - as it was for all the opening acts. Akon had his/a band with him so the music was much truer and undistorted. Akon is definitely a rising star and was the class act of the evening. My first hip-hop concert - and out of my element for sure, but I loved it.
The concert was the bomb! I wish it didn't end. Never had that much fun in a long time. Thanks for the fun>
It was a great time my sister in laws first tie ever going she loved it too. All the performers were great one right after another. But I would have to say Akon killed the show he knew how to put on a real good show. I would go any time again when something like this was put on again.
very good show , lots of excitement. THe music was great, just maybe a better placement for speakers, not so close to seats.
