Rema Promises Paris Stadium Concert After Stunning Performance With Awilo Longomba
Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema has set fans buzzing after declaring that his next stop in Paris could be a stadium show following his performance at the Yardland Festival.
The singer made the statement after bringing legendary Congolese music icon Awilo Longomba on stage during his RemaLand showcase at the festival on July 5. The pair thrilled the audience with an energetic performance that blended Afrobeats with Awilo's signature Soukous-inspired sound.
Addressing the cheering crowd, Rema confidently said:
"We rocked that, Paris. We'll be back, and when we do, we're coming back for the stadium."
The remark immediately sparked excitement among fans, many of whom see it as a sign that the singer is preparing for an even bigger concert in the French capital.
Rema has enjoyed a remarkable rise on the global music scene over the past few years. His hit single "Calm Down", especially the remix featuring Selena Gomez, became one of the most successful Afrobeats songs ever, topping charts across several countries and helping introduce his music to a wider international audience.
The singer has also sold out major venues around the world through his HEIS World Tour, while his second studio album, HEIS, earned a nomination for Best Global Music Album at the 67th Grammy Awards, further cementing his place among Africa's biggest music exports.
Awilo Longomba's surprise appearance in Paris was another highlight of the night. The Congolese legend remains one of Africa's most influential performers, and his chemistry with Rema has already fueled speculation that the two artists could be working on a future collaboration. However, neither artist has confirmed any joint project.
For now, Rema's bold promise of a stadium return has become one of the biggest talking points from the festival, with fans eager to see whether the Afrobeats superstar can turn that ambition into reality.
