Burna Boy to perform at UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul
Grammy-winning Burna Boy has been announced as one of the headline performers at this year’s UEFA Champions League final. The European football governing body confirmed Thursday morning.
The final will be played on June 10 in Istanbul, Türkiye.
“Big news! @burnaboy will be performing at the Champions League final in Istanbul alongside another amazing headliner!” said the UEFA statement with a teaser video of the self-acclaimed ‘African Giant’.
