Nigerian rapper, singer and record executive Olamide will perform at The O2 Arena in London on Thursday, 25 March 2027, marking the biggest London headline show of his career to date.
The announcement follows his headline performance at OVO Arena Wembley in November 2025. The upcoming concert will bring together music from across his catalogue, including the street-hop records that established his career and songs from his 2025 self-titled album, Olamidé.
Known for his blend of Yoruba and English lyrics, Olamide has played a significant role in the development of Nigerian hip-hop, street-pop and Afrobeats over the past decade. Beyond his own music, he founded YBNL Nation, the record label associated with artists including Fireboy DML, Asake, Adekunle Gold and Lil Kesh.
His catalogue includes collaborations with artists such as Wizkid, Davido, Omah Lay, Darkoo, Tiwa Savage and Young Jonn. His work has helped bring Yoruba-language music to wider international audiences while maintaining strong ties to the sounds and culture of Lagos.
The March 2027 performance will feature a selection of his established hits alongside more recent releases. Additional performers from Afrobeats and UK music are expected to be announced ahead of the show.
Speaking about the upcoming performance, Olamide said:
“London has always shown me love, from the early days to Wembley. Standing on The O2 stage is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time. The movement is Lagos-built and London-amplified, so this one is for everybody who has rocked with me and with YBNL from day one. We’re bringing the whole street to Greenwich. 25 March, make sure you’re there.”
The concert is being presented by Hera Touring in association with YBNL Entertainment.
