About

As the man behind some of Lady Gaga’s biggest hits and a featured artist on over 35 Billboard Hot 100 singles, Senegalese-raised R&B singer/producer Akon is one of the most ubiquitous – and unique – artists in contemporary hip hop. With 2013 the release of “Angel,” the David Guetta-produced lead single from his upcoming fourth studio album Stadium, Akon scored another hit and signaled a turn towards an increasingly dance-oriented sound. “Angel” follows the success of 2009’s chart-topping Freedom, which added to his already-impressive solo career with hits like “Right Now (Na Na Na)” and “I’m So Paid (feat. Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy).” Splitting time between New Jersey and Senegal as a child, Akon developed a unique musical sensibility inspired by West African musical traditions East Coast hip hop. A singer and multi-instrumentalist, he attracted the attention of label execs in 2003 with “Lonely,” which would go on to be a No. 1 single from his 2004 debut Trouble. 2006 follow-up Konvicted proved even more successful, earning Akon several Grammy nominations and his first No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “I Wanna Love You (feat. Snoop Dogg).” Ticket buyers rave about Akon’s positive energy and special guest-filled live concerts, while looking forward to the upcoming release of his fourth studio album Stadium.

    horrible!

    by Tasha92 on 2015-09-14Orr Centre - Regina

    I give this concert 1/10. I got there at 7 30 waiting in line to start the show at 8 like it was suppose but didn't start till 9 30. Then they had played till 10:05 they had break till 11:45. I didn't get outta there till 1:30. I had the meet Nd greet tickets which meant I got to sit at the very front. When Karl wolf came out everyone that was sitting behind me came up front and I couldn't see anything. All I got was one picture and never got to talk to him at all. it came down Worst concert I have ever went to. It was so unorganized.Why would you have a hip hop concert at the Orr Center?!

    akon pre-stadium

    by summergirlfun on 2015-09-14Orr Centre - Regina

    it totally sucked. took 45min to even get into the venue, it was small, hard seats, no plave to dance, booze selection was very limited, they wouldnt let you leave to go outside for air. stayed there from 830pm-1230am and akon was no where to be seen or heard. karl wolf was alright but the sound feedback wasnt great. the other 2 guest ppl not sure who they were, were horrible.

    Akon was insane

    by arrowlh on 2009-11-30Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    He was so good, such a good show, it was disappointing when the opening acts we thought were coming didn't, but it was good

    Akon

    by Crohm on 2009-11-04Westman Place (Brandon Keystone Centre) - Brandon

    Was definitely worth attendance to see Akon alone. The turnout wasn't as I hoped, but it was a weekday event. Karl Wolf put on a terrific show. The security could have been handled better.

    A Disappointment

    by Golf4Par on 2009-11-02Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    We only bought tickets because Pitbull was supposed to playing as well as Akon. Then Pitbull cancelled. The DJ's were annoying, playing samples of other artists' songs. We were at a concert, not a radio show. Also, we were very tired of being asked 50 times, "Are you ready for Akon?" Intermissions were too long. There seemed to be a lot of lip-syncing to taped music..

    Akon was Fabulous!!!!!!

    by Convict on 2009-11-02Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    While Danny and Karl were good, the show was all about Akon and he proved it. He put on a wonderful show and my son could not stop talking about it. This was the first concert he has been to, and was still talking about it two days later. Great show, glad you came to Regina and hope to see you again. Maybe this time you will be able to bring Pit Bull with you!!!!

    Akon is truly a great live act! Danny Ferandes come on....seriously get some dance skills going and a routine! Had Pitbull been there this concert would have been the concert of the year!!!!!!!!!

    by forty on 2009-11-01Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    Had floor seats and managed to get close to the stage. Akon came to thte crowd to shake hands and give hi fives. I got the opportunity to shake hands. His abs were yummy!!

    Phenomenal!

    by Shiny on 2009-11-01Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    Akon was truly an unforgettable experience! Apart was being an amazing performer, his energy on stage was unending throughout the night. He kept the audience pumped up and excited for the entire show, and his connection to the audience was fantastic. The songs he chose, and the scenarios he created to go with each song was a clever riddle. So, when he began to play the song, the crowd went wild. It was, by far, the best concert I have ever been to! I would see Akon again in a heartbeat; it also helped that I was in the mosh pit. I would definitely recommend an Akon concert to everybody who enjoys his music.

    Akon with Danny Fernandes and Karl Wolf

    by Corin on 2009-11-01Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    This was one of my favorite show that I have seen. They are so friendly when they were done on stage Karl Wolf was dancing with some of the audience when Akon came on it was so much fun. This show had people from the audience for Akon dancing on the stage with him he was so friendly not like some of those famous people that are suck up and are too good for us not so famous people. I would recommend this movie to everyone that likes this kind of music even if not they would like it just to look at his body was amazing. Guy would like it too there is lots of girls on the dance floor dancing. Man It was awesome.

    Karl Wolf Amazing

    by LoriG571 on 2009-11-01Westman Place (Brandon Keystone Centre) - Brandon

    Karl Wolf made the show! The way he moves his hips made my mouth drewl! He took the time to sign autographs for all the teenieboppers, while his sidekick sold autographed pictures. By the time that Akon had come on, I felt I already seen a great show.

    Whole show was subpar.

    by Busta on 2009-10-31Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    The price i originally paid for my tickets was for Pitbull, Girlicious, and Akon. Pitbull & Girlicious were replaced with Karl Wolf & Danny Fernandes, which is an obvious downgrade. I have been to Akon 3 times, and this show was by far the least entertaining. All but one of the places to buy alcohol were closed down before the end of the opening acts, which was unacceptable to myself and the other 7 people i was with. There were no dancers on stage as in Akon's past concerts. Overall, i was a little disappointed with the whole experience. I also think that having assigned seating on the floor is much better than General Admission to the floor.

    This was my second concert in my life and both were Akon. He sounds really good like on his albums. Karl wolf and Danny were really distortited(?).

    Akon was a gong show!!

    by carebearb on 2009-10-31Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    I had bought these tickets for my grandson for his birthday,back in Sept, So on Oct 30 we went to the concert in Regina. at the Brandt Center what a joke!!! Young kids drunk out there mind noone got checked going in so some kids where able to bring in whatever fights, girls crying, the show itself was something to be desired ,at one point some threw a fire cracker up on stage, I thought the band was going to walk off but didn't just , started swearing at everyone, then Akon said don't worry let play.He had girls up on stage danceing and some of the girls dancing wasn't in good taste,I think the Brandt Center better get more staff, What a waste of $120.00, We ended up leaving at 10:45 had seen too much.........

    by hottieikadkjlok on 2009-10-31Brandt Centre - Evraz Place - Regina

    Akon put on a really good show but it would have been way better if girlicous and pitbull would have opened. i was pretty disappointed to hear that they werent coming. karl wolf was a lot better than i expected. Akon is an amazing performer and he definately knew how to work the crowd
