On Thursday 25 March 2027, Olamide will headline The O2 Arena in London, making it the biggest headline show of his career in the city. The concert is a joint announcement from Hera Touring and YBNL Entertainment, and it follows his sold-out headline show at OVO Arena Wembley in November 2025. From Wembley to Greenwich in just over a year, the trajectory is hard to ignore.
Fans can expect a career-spanning set that moves through every era of his journey, from the Street-Hop anthems that first made him a household name to new material from his acclaimed 2025 self-titled album, Olamidé. Special guest performances from names across Afrobeats and UK music are promised, with announcements still to come.
It is impossible to talk about this moment without taking stock of what Olamide has built. As a rapper, he turned Yoruba-language Street-Pop into a global sound. As the founder of YBNL, he launched careers that now fill arenas of their own, including Fireboy DML, Asake, Adekunle Gold, and Lil Kesh. His collaborations read like a roll call of a generation: Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa Savage, Omah Lay, Darkoo, Young Jonn, and more.
Olamide spoke directly to the fans ahead of the announcement: "London has always shown me love, from the early days to Wembley. 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."
Mark the date and watch for that guest list reveal.
