TORONTO – The 6ix is about to catch a fresh wave of global sound as Nigerian superstar Rema brings his HEIS World Tour to Scotiabank Arena on Sunday, May 11, 2025. Known for his futuristic Afrobeats sound, magnetic stage presence, and genre-crossing artistry, Rema’s rise from Benin City to the world stage has been nothing short of explosive.
From Freestyles to Global Fame
Born Divine Ikubor, Rema burst onto the scene in 2019 with the viral hit Dumebi, introducing a sound that blended Afrobeats with trap, R&B, and pop. Signed to Mavin Records, he quickly became one of Africa’s brightest exports, with hits like Calm Down, Ginger Me, and the Selena Gomez-assisted remix of Calm Down dominating global charts.
His 2022 debut album Rave & Roses and its deluxe edition solidified his sound: smooth melodies, spiritual rhythm, and just enough edge. Now, on the HEIS World Tour, Rema is ready to show Toronto what Afrobeats looks like in stadium form.
What to Expect on Tour
If past performances are any indication, this won’t be just a concert—it’ll be an experience. Expect pulsating visuals, full-stage choreography, live instrumentation, and the kind of crowd energy only Rema can conjure.
From hype bangers like Bounce to emotional ballads like Love, fans can expect a well-rounded set designed to take you from the dancefloor to the feels and back again.
Afrobeats in the 6ix
Toronto has long embraced the sounds of the diaspora, and Rema’s show is another chapter in the city’s growing love affair with Afrobeats. With Scotiabank Arena as the venue, this isn’t just a performance—it’s a cultural celebration.
