Reggae/Dancehall musician Stonebwoy kicked off his highly anticipated 5th Dimension North America and Canada Tour with an electrifying performance at the Bayfront Reggae & World Music Festival on July 15.
The renowned Ghanaian singer-songwriter set the stage ablaze in Duluth, Minnesota, captivating fans with his signature blend of infectious energy, soulful vocals, and a heartfelt connection that defines his remarkable artistry.
Described as an unforgettable spectacle that marked a pivotal moment on his much-anticipated tour, the Bayfront Reggae & World Music Festival show marked the official beginning of Stonebwoy’s extensive world tour, aptly named after the trending album “5th Dimension.”
The concert opened with an explosion of lights and music, instantly immersing the audience in an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement.
From the first note to the last, Stonebwoy’s electrifying set was a tour de force of talent and creativity. Combining elements of Afropop, afrobeats, Amapiano reggae, and dancehall, his performance showcased the breadth and depth of his musical repertoire.
The international superstar effortlessly navigated through a catalogue of chart-topping hits, including songs from his new album such as “Life & Money” featuring UK rap heavyweight Stormzy; “Manodzi” featuring multi-Grammy award-winning singer Angelique Kidjo; “Therapy”, “Far Away”, “Apotheke”, “My Sound”, “Into The Future” and “Non-Stop”.
Other popular singles such as “Strength & Hope,” “Nominate”, “Activate”, “Most Original”, Shuga,” and “Run Go” were each met with an overwhelming response from the sea of concertgoers who sang along in unison.
The 5TH Dimension tour continues its journey across North America and Canada, before heading to Europe later this year for a three-date UK tour.
Meanwhile, Stonebwoy’s next stop is in Georgetown, Guyana, at the Emancipation Festival on August 1. From there, he is expected to wind through a total of 10 major U.S. and Canadian cities all in August.
