Nigerian superstar Asake is gearing up for another historic moment as he prepares to headline London’s iconic O2 Arena for the second time in his career. Since bursting onto the mainstream music scene in 2022, Asake has consistently topped charts and garnered international acclaim with his series of hit singles across two critically acclaimed albums.
The upcoming headline concert at the O2 Arena, scheduled for September 21, marks a significant milestone for Asake, following his sold-out performance at the 20,000-capacity venue in 2023. This event will also serve as a key stop on his anticipated “Lungu Boy” tour, slated to kick off in August 2024.
Fans can expect new music from Asake as he prepares to drop his third album, ‘Lungu Boy’, ahead of the tour. The album promises to showcase Asake’s evolution as an artist and his commanding exploration of Amapiano, a genre that has played a pivotal role in his meteoric rise to superstardom.
In 2024, Asake has continued to make waves with his surprise single ‘Only Me’, released on his birthday. He has also been featured on numerous collaborations with notable artists such as Zlatan, Ayra Starr, Victony, Tems, and Central Cee, further solidifying his influence in the music industry.
Adding to the anticipation, reports indicate a forthcoming collaboration between Asake and American superstar rapper Travis Scott, hinting at the international appeal and reach of Asake’s musical prowess.
With this second headline show at the O2 Arena, Asake joins an elite group of Nigerian artists, including Davido and Wizkid, who have achieved this feat multiple times. As his career continues to soar, Asake’s ‘Lungu Boy’ tour and album are poised to set new benchmarks, further cementing his status as a defining figure in contemporary music.
