Adekunle Gold at North Sea Jazz

Adekunle Gold plays the NN North Sea Jazz Festival on Saturday, July 11, 2026 in the Congo, 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM. The booking places him among a diverse lineup at the festival's anniversary edition—alongside Thundercat, Jon Batiste, The Roots, and Esperanza Spalding.

The Nigerian singer-songwriter has spent 2026 on a symphonic tour across North America, reimagining hits like Sade, Ire, and High alongside music from his latest album Fuji, performed with a full live orchestra. His appearance in Rotterdam marks a rare European stop this season.

Fuji was released on 3 October 2025 and blends traditional Nigerian sounds—apala, tungba, fuji—with contemporary R&B and amapiano. The North Sea Jazz slot comes days after his Toronto date at Meridian Hall.

Saturday, July 11, 8:30 PM at Rotterdam Ahoy.
