GRAMMY Award-winning hitmaker NE-YO and GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist Akon have announced their co-headlining “Nights Like This” global tour, produced by Live Nation.
The 57-city run begins Friday, April 24, at the 3Arena in Dublin and will travel across Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, and Canada. Stops include London, Paris, Atlanta, Houston, and Toronto before the tour concludes Friday, Aug. 21, at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The tour pairs two artists whose catalogs have shaped radio playlists, nightlife, and pop culture for more than two decades. NE-YO and Akon will perform in a shared, alternating set designed to move between their respective bodies of work throughout the night.
The setlist is expected to include NE-YO songs such as “So Sick,” “Closer,” and “Miss Independent,” alongside Akon tracks including “Smack That,” “Lonely,” and “Right Now (Na Na Na).” The show is structured to move from R&B records to club-driven singles, creating a format built around audience participation.
