Research Notes
Femi Kuti's 2026 UK 'Journey Through Life' tour (Electric Brixton 22 Apr, Electric Bristol 23 Apr, Stylus Leeds 25 Apr) is being promoted by Band on the Wall, the Manchester-based national music promoter who has a long-standing relationship with Femi Kuti across multiple UK tours. Management is attributed to Audu Maikori (via Chocolate City Music Group, a deal confirmed in 2014) and Sodi Marciszewer, per bookingagentinfo.com. Three booking agents are listed — Abuchi Ugwu (Nigeria), Tom Chauncey (US), and Spencer Book (US) — but no dedicated UK/Europe booking agent was publicly identified. Full direct emails for management and agents are held behind the bookingagentinfo.com paywall. A personal Gmail address (femi.kuti@gmail.com) was surfaced by contactout.com but is unverified and very likely not a professional management contact — not recommended for business use. Instagram (@femiakuti, 304K followers) and X/Twitter (@Femiakuti) bios did not list management or booking contact details. Partisan Records (partisanrecords.com) is his current label; they may be able to facilitate a management introduction. For OOOSH Tours purposes, approaching Band on the Wall directly is the most reliable first step for the April 2026 UK dates.
