D’Banj To Perform At Live Nation Tour

By Damilola Olaoye

Irving Plaza will rock on Sunday, February 19, 2012 as The Entertainer; D’banj along with the Mo’Hits crew will give New York a grand taste of live and rich Nigerian pop music.
The concert which is organised by Live Nation in collaboration with Mo’Hits, is powered by US loudspeaker company Klipsch and is sponsored by Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), MTN and Arik Air.
The February 19 gig will mark D’banj’s first major performance in the big apple.
Back in August 2011, the Mo’Hits treated their fans in the UK to a concert which had a surprise guest performance from Kanye West and last December, the crew also staged the annual Koko concert in Lagos  featuring performances from the Mo’Hits All Stars as well as Tiwa Savage, eLDee, Wizkid and Davido.
The 2011 BET Award winner recently shot the video for his hit single ‘Oliver’ which features a host of US celebs; and just this week, the label released the video for the ‘Entertainer’ track of his last album.
The Live Nation tour, we’re told, is an important step for the ambitious act, as he works further to break into the mainstream international music scene and plant his feet firmly on the soil of international showbusiness.
