About This Event

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 will perform on 25 February 2027 at Manchester Academy 2. Seun Kuti, the son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, leads the band and is known for his engaging performances and activism. The concert is part of the Na Dem tour.

Seun Kuti is a Nigerian musician, singer, and songwriter renowned for his captivating performances and socially conscious music. He is the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. Seun has spent most of his life preserving and extending his father’s political and musical legacy as the leader of his father’s former band Egypt 80. As a developing saxophonist and percussionist, he entered the formal ranks of the band before he was 12. In 1997 when Fela passed, in fulfilment of his father’s wishes, Seun assumed the mantle as head of Egypt 80 and he has run it ever since. As a musician and pan-African activist, Seun has been involved in a number of campaigns in recent years, including OccupyNigeria and EndSARS – a social movement against police brutality in Nigeria. Significantly, he’s revived the Movement of the People (M.O.P.), the political party his father set up in 1979, which was quashed by the military government not long after Fela’s failed presidential bid.

NA DEM (Django Music), the new six-track album by Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, was released on November 6, 2026 across all digital platforms. With this bold new record, fully produced by Femi Koleoso (Ezra Collective), Seun Kuti pushes the boundaries of contemporary Afrobeat. The album features the track “Na Dem” (feat. Tom Morello) and “Problems” (feat. Kabaka Pyramid).
