Burna Boy thrills crowd at England Women’s Euro victory parade
Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy lit up the stage on Tuesday during the England Women’s Euro victory parade held at Beckingham Palace. The celebration followed the Lionesses’ thrilling win against Spain, where they triumphed 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in extra time to retain their European Championship title.
Burna Boy, also known as the ‘African Giant,’ performed his hit song For My Hand, a collaboration with English singer Ed Sheeran. The crowd of 100,000 fans, including players and coaching staff, cheered enthusiastically during his electrifying set.
The event saw England’s head coach, Sarina Wiegman, dancing alongside the players as Burna Boy delivered a high-energy performance, making the atmosphere even more jubilant for the celebrating fans.
Burna Boy’s appearance at such a major European football event again confirms his growing global influence, particularly in the world of sports and entertainment crossovers.
This performance adds to his list of milestones. In 2023, he became the first African artist to ever perform at a UEFA Champions League final. He headlined the event with Brazilian pop sensation Anitta during the official Kick Off Show.
The Nigerian singer continues to break boundaries and redefine what African artists can achieve on the global stage. His presence at the parade also reflects how music and sports are increasingly merging to create unforgettable moments of unity and celebration.
From massive stadiums to royal parades, Burna Boy proves time and again why he is one of the most sought-after performers in the world, proudly representing Africa everywhere he goes.
