R&B artist Jason Derulo takes to Manchester AO Arena for his world tour with Afro B as his opening artist.
Afro B, grooving with his backup dancers, surprised the crowd with unreleased song ‘Sexy Sexy’. Seconds into ‘Drogba’ (Joanna) the whole crowd went wild.
Derulo’s 10-minute countdown began, which became 10 seconds, that had fans screaming with excitement. Derulo kicked off with his title track ‘Nu King’, followed by ‘Watcha Say’.
He gave the audience a treat with his performance of ‘Ridin’ Solo’ reminding the audience of his impressive vocal range. Hits like ‘Wiggle’ and ‘Jabeli Baby’ amped up the vibe, and got the crowd moving.

He ended the night with an encore of two of his biggest songs ‘Down’ and ‘Want You Want Me’, as he took a moment to appreciate his fans by passing the spotlight to them.
