FINS Entertainment delivers emotional, sold-out UK tour for Johnny Drille

For many fans of alternative Nigerian music in the United Kingdom, the recently concluded “Johnny’s Room Live” tour was more than a concert — it was an intimate, soul-stirring connection that spanned four cities: London, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester. At the heart of the tour’s success was FINS Entertainment, the Nigerian production company that worked behind the scenes to bring Johnny Drille’s vision to life.

Speaking on the experience, Kazeem Shoyomi, Event Project Manager at FINS Entertainment, described the tour as “intense, inspiring, and incredibly rewarding.”

“From planning logistics to coordinating venues and teams in four different cities, it was a huge effort. But seeing it all come together on stage each night made everything worthwhile,” he said. “Johnny Drille’s authenticity made the process even more enjoyable. His commitment to connecting with his fans emotionally gave every concert real meaning. For us at FINS Entertainment and Kumplicit Media, this was more than just a tour — it was a movement of sound and soul.”

The reception across the UK was overwhelming. In London, fans queued up hours before the show, singing along to every lyric in an atmosphere Shoyomi called “electric.” Birmingham produced one of the tour’s most emotional moments when the audience spontaneously illuminated the venue with phone lights during Drille’s popular single “How Are You (My Friend)”, creating what he described as “a wave of love.”

Smaller but no less significant was Glasgow, where fan engagement surpassed expectations despite being an unconventional stop for Afro-alternative acts. The final show in Manchester wrapped the tour on a high note, with fans presenting the artist with signs, flowers, and gifts — a gesture that left Johnny Drille visibly emotional during his encore.

Reflecting on the impact of the tour, Shoyomi noted that the series of performances marked a turning point in the artist’s career.

“This tour solidified Johnny Drille as a true international act,” he said. “The intimate nature of his shows deepened fan loyalty and opened doors for future collaborations and bigger stages. From a branding perspective, it positioned him as not just a Nigerian artist, but a global storyteller whose music transcends borders.”

With the tour’s success now behind them, FINS Entertainment is setting its sights on the next phase.

“We’re currently in talks to bring more high-caliber African acts to Europe,” Shoyomi revealed. “Not just mainstream names, but artists with true substance and timeless music. As for Johnny Drille, we’re absolutely open to more collaborations. This was more than a tour; it was a movement.”
