Two R&B icons, one stage, and a setlist packed with songs that defined a generation. NE-YO and AKON are bringing the Nights Like This Tour to Dublin, and the demand has been massive - the original dates sold out instantly, so a third night on April 23rd has been added.
What to Expect
This isn’t two separate sets back to back. NE-YO and AKON share the stage in a dynamic, back-and-forth format throughout the entire show. That means you’re getting So Sick, Closer, Miss Independent, and Because of You woven in with Smack That, Lonely, Right Now (Na Na Na), and Beautiful. These are songs that everyone in the arena will know every word to.
NE-YO’s performance is slick and choreographed in that classic R&B tradition - the man can move. AKON brings a different energy, all charisma and crowd control. Together they’ve created a show format that keeps the pace high and the hits flowing all night long.
The original April 24 and 25 dates sold out in record time, so this added date is your last chance to see them in Dublin.
