Nigerian Afrobeats artist BNXN has been confirmed as a supporting act for two major European dates on Asake’s “In God We Trust Tour.” The announcement pairs two of the genre’s leading contemporary voices for performances at The O2 Arena in London on October 15 and the Accor Arena in Paris on October 24.

BNXN, whose real name is Daniel Benson, shared promotional posters on social media on October 7 confirming his involvement. The first poster features both artists under the banner “BNXN Supporting Asake – In God We Trust Tour,” listing the London date at The O2. The second poster, focused on the Paris show, notes “En Première Partie: BNXN” for the Accor Arena concert on October 24.

The addition of BNXN brings additional Nigerian star power to Asake’s European leg. Asake, signed to YBNL Nation, has built a strong international profile through successive albums and energetic live performances.

The “In God We Trust Tour” supports his recent body of work and includes stops at some of Europe’s largest indoor arenas.

For BNXN, the supporting slots offer another high-profile platform before large European audiences. The singer has maintained a consistent presence in Afrobeats through a steady stream of releases, collaborations and live shows. His catalogue includes fan favourites and recent projects that have kept him active on charts and streaming platforms.

The announcement comes shortly after BNXN released his EP Still In Charge on October 1. The project features Asake as well as FOLA, and includes the earlier single “Eja Meja,” a collaboration between BNXN and Asake that debuted strongly on Nigerian charts and accumulated significant streams. The EP continues BNXN’s run of activity following his 2025 album Captain and other collaborative work.

Both artists have contributed to the continued global expansion of Afrobeats. Asake’s rise has been marked by distinctive production, street-inflected energy and sold-out shows. BNXN has carved a lane with melodic delivery and a blend of Afrobeats and R&B influences. Their joint appearances in London and Paris are expected to draw fans of both catalogues and highlight the collaborative nature of the current Nigerian music scene.

The O2 Arena in London is one of Europe’s premier concert venues, regularly hosting major international acts. The Accor Arena in Paris (formerly known as Bercy) similarly ranks among the continent’s key indoor arenas.

Performing at these venues as a supporting act places BNXN in front of audiences that include both dedicated Afrobeats fans and broader music listeners attending Asake’s shows.

Details regarding set lengths, specific song selections or additional special guests for the London and Paris dates have not yet been fully released. The London date has been listed with BNXN and TxC noted as special guests in some venue information.

Further updates on ticketing and production are expected as the October dates approach.

Relevance of the Pairing

The pairing highlights the growing demand for Nigerian artists on major international stages. European markets have become increasingly important for Afrobeats acts, with arena-level shows reflecting the genre’s commercial reach beyond West Africa and the diaspora communities that have long supported the music.

BNXN’s confirmation as a supporting act adds another layer of anticipation to Asake’s tour dates. Fans in London and Paris will have the opportunity to experience performances from two artists who have each shaped the sound of contemporary Afrobeats while maintaining distinct artistic identities.

As the tour progresses, attention will turn to how the shared bill unfolds on stage. Both artists are known for energetic live deliveries, and the combination is likely to produce memorable moments for attendees.

Additional European dates for Asake’s tour may be announced, though BNXN’s confirmed appearances remain limited to the London and Paris shows for now.

The October 15 and October 24 concerts mark notable points on the Afrobeats calendar in Europe this year. With promotional materials already circulating and interest building among fans, the shows are positioned as significant gatherings for listeners of both artists.

BNXN’s participation reflects the interconnected nature of the current Nigerian music industry, where leading figures frequently collaborate on records and share stages. The “In God We Trust Tour” support dates extend that dynamic to two of Europe’s major arenas, giving audiences the chance to see the artists perform in succession.

Further details on production, special guests and any additional tour announcements are expected in the coming days as the London date draws nearer. For now, the confirmation of BNXN’s involvement has added momentum to Asake’s European run and highlighted the continued strength of Afrobeats on the international live circuit.
