Nigerian rapper and YBNL boss Olamide has announced his first headline concert at London’s 20,000-capacity O2 Arena, set for Thursday, March 25, 2027, in what will be the biggest London show of his career so far.

The show is being promoted by Hera Touring in collaboration with YBNL Entertainment. Olamide teased the announcement on Instagram with a video in which he painted the date on a wall, nodding to the paintings he has recently been sharing with fans. It follows his sold-out headline performance at OVO Arena Wembley in November 2025, and Pulse reports that he becomes the sixth Nigerian artist to play the venue.

According to the announcement, the concert will feature his biggest hits from across his catalogue, including the street-hop records that built his name, alongside songs from his 2025 self-titled album, Olamidé.

Speaking on the milestone, the rapper said London has always shown him love, from his early days to Wembley, and that standing on the O2 stage is something he has dreamed about for a long time. He described the movement as Lagos-built and London-amplified, dedicating the night to everyone who has backed him and YBNL from day one.

Abi Babalola of Hera Touring called the Wembley show a statement and the O2 date a coronation, saying Olamide has helped build Afrobeats’ global rise one artist and one anthem at a time.

Fans will not have long to wait for tickets. The O2 Priority and artist presale opens on Wednesday, October 21, at 10am, with general sales following on Friday, October 23, at 10am, through AXS, Ticketmaster and Cokobar.com.
