Staged by Live Nation and JayUpscale in collaboration with the Monk camp, the concert marked Montano’s first since he ended the Machel Monday show in 2020.

Montano expressed his thanks via social media, stating that the whole Kingdom came down.

“Every Single seat sold and then some !!!! I can’t explain how this makes me feel, there are just not enough words that could ever explain,” he said.
