In what is considered another major achievement for Nigerian music, particularly Afrobeats, international superstar and Grammy award-winner, Wizkid, sold out the Tottenham Stadium in a landmark show on Saturday.
Over 60,000 people reportedly turned out to watch the multi-platinum-selling artiste in his first stadium headline show in the United Kingdom.
This is not the first time the Ojuelegba-born artiste is selling out concert venues. In 2021, he sold out three concerts in the 20,000-capacity London 02 Arena in 35minutes.
However, Saturday’s show is one of the stops for Wizkid’s tour of his fifth album ‘More Love, Less Ego’ which was released in November 2022.
During the landmark concert, Wizkid performed songs from his last album including several classic records that informed his meteoric rise to the top of the industry.
Nigerian Neo-Highlife group, Cavemen, performed at the event while also serving as a support band for Wizkid.
Also in attendance at the Tottenham concert were top figures in the Nigerian music industry including Wande Coal, Bankulli, Sesan, Adesope, and Arsenal FC football youngsters, Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.
