In the late-2000s, there was nothing at all like taking on heists in “Grand Theft Auto” while blasting Akon’s album Trouble (which turns 20 this year).

Its opening track “Locked Up” has even regained traction on TikTok in recent years, and while we won’t get to hear the entire album at this show, recent setlists have clocked in at a whopping 42 songs per show.

No, there probably won’t be any songs from Stadium (a shelved, quintuple release from almost a decade ago that we’re still holding out hope for), but there’s still plenty of homework to do for this one.

Tickets to see Akon play Hard Rock Event Center in Tampa on Tuesday, Sept. 17 are still available and start at $55.
