Akon – Live @ The Tabernacle

On a wintry Atlanta evening, music fans gathered at The Tabernacle to witness the electrifying Akon take the stage as part of “The Superfan Tour,” to perform a show nothing short of a spectacular musical journey, with the multi-talented artist and producer showcasing his versatility and boundless energy.

The stage setup was equally impressive, with dynamic background imaging that transported the audience to different visual landscapes throughout the show. Hanging makeshift clouds added a surreal touch to the atmosphere, making it feel like a dream world. The all-white stage setup and double-leveled stage provided an aesthetically pleasing backdrop for the entire performance.

Akon’s attire throughout the night was as eclectic as his musical repertoire. He made a grand entrance wearing a large, all-white fur coat-like ensemble, setting the stage for a night of fashion and music that would keep the audience captivated. From this initial impression, he seamlessly transitioned to an all-black ensemble, and later on, he dazzled the crowd with a platinum-hued get-up, creating a visual spectacle that matched the diversity of his music. At one point, he donned a tiger print oversized coat, proving that his fashion choices were as dynamic as his performance.

Akon’s performance was further elevated by the presence of his hype man and DJ, Benny Demus, who kept the energy levels soaring throughout the night. The surprise cameo appearance of artist, Amirror added an exciting twist to the show, with the two performing a duet of their smash hit “Far Away” that left the audience in yearning for more and more.

Akon’s musical prowess was on full display as he showcased his skills on the bongos, adding a unique and captivating element to his set. However, what truly stood out was the clarity and precision of his vocal work, demonstrating his status as a seasoned performer who knows how to engage and entertain a live audience.

The concert felt like a bottomless pit of hits, with Akon delivering fan-favorites such as “I Wanna Love You” and “Smack That,” along with many more chart-toppers that had the crowd singing along and dancing throughout the night. His ability to seamlessly transition between different musical genres and styles kept the audience on their toes and engaged from start to finish.
