Olamide Headlines London’s O2 Arena: A Cultural Coronation
In what is set to be the biggest headline show of his career, Afrobeats icon, rapper, and YBNL Nation founder Olamide is set to headline the iconic O2 Arena in London on Thursday, March 25, 2027.
Presented by Hera Touring in association with YBNL Entertainment, the landmark show marks a major moment for street-pop music and Nigerian culture on the world stage.
The Road to Greenwich: From Wembley to The O2
Olamide’s journey to the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in Greenwich comes after years of shaping global music. Following his sold-out concert at the OVO Arena Wembley, stepping up to the legendary O2 stage solidifies his legacy.
As Abi Babalola of Hera Touring remarked:
"OVO Wembley Arena was a statement. The O2 London is a coronation."
For over a decade, Olamide ("Baddo") has been instrumental in taking Yoruba-language Street-Pop to global audiences. Beyond his own hit-filled discography, as the executive behind YBNL, he has launched and nurtured the careers of Afrobeats powerhouses including Fireboy DML, Asake, Adekunle Gold, and Lil Kesh.
Reflecting on the upcoming show, Olamide shared:
"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."
