People make comebacks all the time, but one pairing we can’t ignore is Ne-Yo and Akon, who are set to bring the 2000s back to Manchester with a huge tour in just a few months’ time.
GRAMMY award-winning icons Ne-Yo and Akon have announced their co-headlining ‘Nights Like This’ global tour, bringing together two generational artists whose catalogues have defined radio, nightlife, and pop culture. Ne-Yo and Akon will share the stage in a unique, dynamic back-and-forth set throughout the show stacked with era-defining hits, sing-along anthems, and club classics.
Featuring Ne-Yo’s So Sick, Closer, and Miss Independent, alongside Akon’s Smack That, Lonely, and Right Now (Na Na Na), the ‘Nights Like This Tour’ is a nostalgia rush for longtime fans and fresh excitement to new listeners. From slow jams to club anthems, every night is built to feel like a throwback party and a celebration.
