LONDON -- 

Nigerian music icon Tiwa Savage today announced details of “Tiwa Savage Live in London,” as the final show of her acclaimed “Water & Garri Tour” will be broadcast live from London’s O2 Academy Brixton, powered by Kiswe’s global streaming platform on August 13.

Kiswe, in partnership with Universal Music Africa, a division of Universal Music Group, the world leader in music based entertainment will bring the Nigerian award-winning artist known as “The Queen of Afrobeats” direct to fans worldwide in the first-ever afrobeats live-streamed concert available globally.

Tiwa Savage started her “Water & Garri Tour” in North America earlier this year, playing throughout the U.S. and Canada before continuing to Europe. This follows the 2021 release of her Water & Garri EP, which features the likes of Nas, Brandy, and Amaarae. The Water & Garri EP is Tiwa’s first project since 2020’s critically acclaimed album Celia.

The tour culminates with the live-stream finale from O2 Academy in Brixton on Saturday August 13th. Fans around the world will have access to the event from Kiswe’s platform at live.everything-savage.com.

“On Saturday 13th we will make history at the O2 Academy Brixton in London. I’m grateful to be partnering with my label UMG Africa, Kiswe & AdrianoMDM to share this moment with my fans,” said Tiwa Savage. “The support I’ve received across my career so far has been incredible so to be able to give something back in this way feels good.“

The event will start with a 25-minute opening video celebrating Savage’s past performances, music videos and a note to fans. The two hour concert will begin at 9pm UK, 4pm EDT for fans viewing from the comfort of their own homes.

To ensure Savage fans in Africa can tune in, Airtel will be streaming the concert to customers in Nigeria and Airtel Africa through the Airtel TV platform.
