On September 21, 2024, Charles Onyeabor stole the spotlight at Ruger’s sold-out concert at the O2 Oxygen in Bologna, Italy. The show, organized by Afrobeats Roma and Walo Night was packed with fans who came to enjoy a night of Afrobeats, but many left talking about Onyeabor’s electric performance.
As the only supporting act, Onyeabor had the responsibility of setting the tone for the night, and he did just that. From the moment he hit the stage, his energy was contagious. His music got the crowd moving, and his stage presence kept them engaged. It wasn’t just about singing for Onyeabor, he connected with the audience.
The sold-out concert was a clear indication of the genre’s global appeal and the increasing demand for live performances from Nigerian artistes. Italy, in particular, has seen a surge in interest in Afrobeats, and the Bologna show was no exception. Fans left the venue buzzing about the performance Onyeabor ignited.
Despite Ruger being the headliner, Onyeabor held his own and, in many ways, left just as big an impression. His performance was a perfect warm-up for Ruger, solidifying his reputation as a rising star. By the time the main act took the stage, the crowd was already buzzing, thanks to Onyeabor’s high-energy set.
