Talking about music, Nigeria is a country that’s really good at it on a worldwide platform.
The exciting beats of afrobeat and the catchy tunes of Afropop are what make Nigerian music special. People everywhere are loving it.
This is why Nigerian musicians have had the chance to perform in some of the world’s most well-known spots, like the O2 Arena in London.
Now, let’s take a look at three Nigerians who had the incredible opportunity to perform at the O2 Arena, and not only that, but they also filled the place with sold-out shows.
Wizkid
Back in May 2018, Wizkid made history as the first Nigerian artist to sell out London’s iconic O2 Arena, which has a capacity of 20,000.
This event marked a milestone in his career, and he has since had multiple sold-out concerts at the venue.
But that’s not all. Wizkid also had sold-out shows in other famous places all over the world.
One of them is the Accor Arena in Paris, France. It’s a huge indoor place that fits 20,300 people.
He has sold out the O2 Arena in the UK five times.
Tiwa Savage
She became the first African female musician to fill up the famous Indigo at the O2 Arena in London.
She had a concert called “The Savage Tour,” and it was her first time performing in the UK. Fans were really excited to see this special moment.
Tiwa Savage is leading the way for African female musicians.
Her sold-out concert at the Indigo shows how much African music is becoming important worldwide.
Davido
In January 2019, Davido sold out the O2 Arena in London.
He had a super exciting performance, and he even teamed up with other great Nigerian artists like Mayorkun, Peruzzi, and Dremo. Zlatan Ibile was there too, making the night even more awesome.
Then, in 2022, Davido did it again. He sold out the O2 Arena for the second time.
Once more, he gave a show that people won’t forget, and his fans were really amazed by it.
