Olamide Announces Headline Concert At The O2 Arena

Music industry figure and acclaimed rapper Olamide has declared plans for his headline concert at the O2 Arena, set for March 25, 2027.

Hera Touring, in partnership with YBNL Entertainment, has confirmed that Olamide will headline the O2 Arena on Thursday, March 25, 2027. This event is anticipated to be the largest headline show of his career in London.

This concert follows Olamide’s previous headline performance at OVO Arena Wembley in November 2025 and represents a significant milestone as he takes the stage at one of the world’s most renowned venues, which has hosted many top global artists. For Olamide, known for founding YBNL and supporting a wave of Nigerian talents, this event symbolizes a full-circle moment.

Attendees can look forward to a setlist that encompasses Olamide’s musical journey, featuring hits from his earlier Street-Hop anthems to recent tracks that reflect his current artistic direction. The concert is designed to appeal to both longtime fans and newer listeners, promising lively choruses, energetic performances, and interactive audience engagement that characterize his live shows. Olamide aims to bring the vibrant sounds and spirit of Lagos to London during this performance.

Olamide has significantly influenced contemporary African music. He popularized Yoruba-language Street-Pop on a global scale and, through YBNL, has elevated numerous genre-defining artists such as Fireboy DML, Asake, Adekunle Gold, and Lil Kesh.

His extensive catalog features numerous chart-topping hits and notable collaborations with artists including Wizkid, Davido, Omah Lay, Darkoo, Tiwa Savage, and Young Jonn, showcasing over a decade of successful music that combines Yoruba and English and unites fans worldwide.

The upcoming O2 show will feature his greatest hits along with music from his latest self-titled album, ‘Olamidé,’ released in 2025. Special guest appearances from prominent figures in Afrobeats and UK music will be announced in the near future.

In anticipation of the concert, Olamide commented, “London has always shown me love, from the early days to Wembley. Performing at The O2 is a dream come true for me. This show represents the connection between Lagos and London, and it’s for everyone who has supported me and YBNL from the beginning. We will bring the essence of the street to Greenwich. Be there on March 25.”

Abi Babalola from Hera Touring stated, “The OVO Wembley Arena performance was significant, but The O2 London is a crowning achievement for Olamide. He has played a crucial role in the global rise of Afrobeats, fostering talent and crafting anthems. Bringing him to The O2 marks an important milestone for both him and his fans. March 25, 2027, will be a night that resonates in London for years to come.”
