A statement issued by FIFA on Tuesday said the Los Angeles concert will feature Diplo’s Major Lazer alongside Davido, with additional artistes expected to be announced.
The event forms part of a first-of-its-kind synchronised live concert series across host countries Canada, Mexico, and the United States as part of build-up activities for the tournament. FIFA stated that Los Angeles will play host to a high-energy celebration in what promises to be an unforgettable night of music, football, and culture.
The Los Angeles show will take place at the Crypto.com Arena, with doors opening at 5:00 pm Pacific Time, while the live broadcast is expected to begin at 6:00 pm Pacific Time. The global football governing body explained that the concert will connect performances across the three host nations, with live acts also being streamed from Mexico City and Toronto.
