Nigerian musician Burna Boy will perform in the UEFA Champions League final at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium on June 10.

According to the UEFA website, on June 10th, 2023, Burna Boy will perform at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul as part of the UEFA Champions League Final Kick-Off Show by Pepsi®.

On June 17th at Nyon, the quarterfinal and semi-final matchups involving Manchester City, Chelsea, Napoli, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Benfica, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich will be determined.

Previously, Burna Boy co-headlined the halftime show at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game with Tems and Rema.

Speaking as a lifelong football enthusiast, I can say without a doubt that the UEFA Champions League is the pinnacle of the sport. This is why I can’t wait to take the Pepsi stage at this year’s final,” Burna Boy remarked on the UEFA website.

You know I’ll be in Istanbul to bring the vibes and work my musical magic because music and football are the best of friends. You guys aren’t ready for what we have planned.

Even though the final’s two teams haven’t been decided, Burna Boy’s performance is already guaranteed to be memorable.

According to Pepsi’s senior director of global marketing, Gustavo Reyna, the UEFA Champions League final is the most important event in the club football calendar, and the company takes great satisfaction in celebrating the occasion with the biggest entertainment spectacles.

“The newly called ‘Kick Off Show by Pepsi’ is going to be massive this year; we are so pleased to welcome Burna Boy, one of the world’s most exciting performers, to the final stage and we can’t wait to see which fans are selected to feature as part of this truly unmissable performance,” said Reyna.
