Tour Setlist and New Music
At their live shows, Ne-Yo and Akon typically perform a combined total of approximately 50 songs. Ne-Yo's setlist includes hits such as "So Sick," "Give Me Everything," "Miss Independent," "Closer," and "Time of Our Lives," alongside tracks from his recently released country album, "Highway 79." Akon performs fan favorites including "I Wanna Love You," "Don't Matter," "Smack That," "Lonely," and "Sexy B—-," as well as songs from his new album, "Beautiful Day."
Critics have noted the dynamic of their performances, with The Guardian describing Ne-Yo as "smooth and suave in his vocals and dextrous choreography," contrasting with Akon's "all-out charisma and party-starter energy." The show reportedly lasts just under three hours.
Ne-Yo's tenth studio album, "Highway 79," marks a departure into country music, featuring tracks like "Up Out & Gone" and "Hate Me Now." Akon released his sixth studio album, "Beautiful Day," on April 24, which includes songs such as "AKON'S BEAUTIFUL DAY" and "QUE CALOR."
