The Nigerian superstar Asake delivered a sold-out concert at Chicago’s Credit Union 1 Arena on Thursday, August 20, 2026, packing the 10,300-capacity venue to the brim.
The show marked the massive opening night of the North American leg of his “In God We Trust World Tour,” celebrating his latest album, M$NEY. South African Amapiano DJ and artist Uncle Waffles opened the night, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.
Asake debuted a brand-new look on stage, commanding the arena with his signature charismatic presence. The high-energy setlist featured massive hits including “Joha,” “Fuji Vibe,” “Jogodo,” and “Gratitude,” with thousands of fans singing along word-for-word to every track.
The production was world-class. Stunning stage design, dynamic background dancers, and a full live band brought his Afrobeats and Fuji fusion to life. The energy never dipped—the entire arena stayed on their feet from the opening song until the final lights went down.
Fans are already calling it an unforgettable spectacle that completely lived up to the hype. The tour moves to New York next, but Chicago got a taste of Asake magic first. And it was electric.
