Afrobeat Super Star Wizkid announces show date at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has scheduled a concert date in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He will perform in promotion of his fifth studio album, More Love, Less Ego, on Saturday, July 29, 2023, according to reports on Tottenham’s official website.

After his spectacular three-date, sold-out performance at the O2 Arena in 2021, the Grammy Award-winning artist will return to London.

However, this O2 Arena performance was noted as one of the biggest performances by a Nigerian musician, as well as an African artist generally.

The event will be held at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, one of the newest sports and entertainment stadiums in London.

This will, however, make Wizkid one of the very first Nigerian artiste to hold a show in a stadium.

It is reasonable to conclude that The Nigerian, who began his career 11 years ago, has achieved the pinnacle of his success, hosting the largest concerts as a Nigerian and taking home a Grammy.

His Grammy-nominated record Made in Lagos has surpassed one billion streams. However the album was his first to rank in the UK’s top 20 and peaked at number one on the Billboard World Albums list.

Additionally, the RIAA certified 2x Platinum hit song Essence by Tems, which peaked at number 16, lasted 21 weeks on the Official Charts.

The Nigerian, who has undoubtedly made waves, has, however affirmed the date through his social media platforms with his regular no-stress caption

“TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM LONDON! SAT 29 JULY 💜🦅”

All eyes will be on the 62,850,Wizkid returns to the stage with his electrifying tracks and throngs of fans dancing and grooving to him.
