Olamide Returns to London After Nearly 10 Years

Nigerian music sensation Olamide is set to light up the UK once again, this time with a solo headline concert at London’s prestigious OVO Arena. The event, boldly titled “OLAMIDE LIVE IN LONDON”, is scheduled for Sunday, November 23, 2025, and marks his first solo performance in the UK in nearly a decade.

According to the promotional flyer, the event kicks off at 6:00 PM and wraps up at 11:00 PM, offering a full 5-hour immersive musical experience.

Olamide is expected to deliver a high-energy show packed with hits from his storied catalog. Fans can anticipate standout tracks from albums like YBNL, Eyan Mayweather, Unruly, Ikigai, and his latest self-titled project Olamidé, released in June 2025. With his live shows known for dynamic performances, collaborations, and engaging stagecraft, this concert is sure to be a masterclass in showmanship.

Olamide’s last solo UK performance dates back to 2016, making this return a long-awaited moment for his international fanbase. His previous UK shows, particularly the 2016 concert, was electric and somewhat chaotic. He performed at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, which was sold out, drawing crowds so eager that over 200 fans were denied entry due to overcrowding and security concerns. The show ended abruptly, much to the disappointment of fans and the artist alike.

After nine long years, Olamide’s return to the UK stage is one of the most anticipated Afrobeats moments of 2025. This concert not only signifies his enduring global appeal but also promises a celebration of his prolific career and the genre’s international ascent. Fans should expect an evening full of nostalgia, energy, and musical mastery.
