Ne-Yo and Akon Kick Off "Nights Like This" Tour with Sold-Out Vancouver Show

For anyone who grew up in the 2000s, the music of Ne-Yo and Akon formed part of the soundtrack to an entire generation. On June 17, the two hitmakers brought their co-headlining NIGHTS LIKE THIS tour to Rogers Arena, launching the North American leg of the 57-city world tour in Vancouver, BC. Built around nostalgia and packed with songs that dominated radio, clubs, and playlists throughout the mid-2000s, NIGHTS LIKE THIS reunited two artists whose catalogs have remained staples for more than two decades. Throughout the evening, Ne-Yo and Akon traded the spotlight while revisiting the hits that helped establish them as two of the most recognizable voices of their generation.
