LONDON, United Kingdom — Nigerian rapper and Afrobeats superstar Olamide is set to headline The O2 Arena in London on March 25, 2027, marking a major milestone in his music career and expanding his presence on the international live music stage.
The concert, announced on October 15, 2026, is expected to bring together fans of the YBNL Entertainment founder for a live celebration of his extensive catalogue of Nigerian street-pop, hip-hop and Afrobeats hits.
The show is being presented by Hera Touring in association with YBNL Entertainment. Organisers are expected to announce additional details, including special guest performers, as preparations for the concert continue.
The O2 Arena, located in Greenwich, London, is one of the United Kingdom’s major indoor entertainment venues, with a concert configuration capable of accommodating approximately 20,000 people. Olamide’s scheduled performance will place him on a stage that has hosted leading international music stars.
The concert follows his headline performance at OVO Arena Wembley in November 2025, another major London appearance that demonstrated his continued appeal among Nigerian music fans and the wider African diaspora in the United Kingdom.
Born Olamide Adedeji, the rapper has built a reputation as one of the influential figures in contemporary Nigerian music. His distinctive blend of Yoruba-language rap, street-pop and Afrobeats has helped shape the sound of modern Nigerian popular music.
Over the years, he has released numerous popular songs and albums while collaborating with prominent artists across the African music industry. His catalogue includes tracks such as Wo!!, Motigbana, Science Student and Infinity, featuring Omah Lay.
Beyond his individual music career, Olamide has established himself as a major force in artist development through YBNL Nation, the record label associated with the emergence and growth of artists including Fireboy DML and Asake.
His influence extends beyond music releases, with his work as a label executive helping introduce Nigerian talents to wider audiences.
The March 2027 concert is expected to feature songs spanning different stages of his career, although the final performance programme has not yet been announced.
For Olamide, the planned appearance represents another step in taking Nigerian music to major international venues and connecting with audiences beyond Africa.
The concert is scheduled for March 25, 2027, at The O2 Arena in London. Fans are advised to follow official announcements from the artist and event organisers for ticketing information and further details.
