Wizkid – 20,000 capacity O2 Arena

Wizkid has definitely grown from grass to grace. From the ghettos of Ojuelegba, the Afrobeats star has broken several music records. In doing so, he has also sold out some of the most iconic concert venues across the globe. From selling out the O2 Arena to being the first African musician to sell out a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in the UK, this is just the tip of more to come from the act, who has modeled his career around the late Fela Kuti.

He also became the first African artiste to sell out the Skyway Theatre in Minnesota, on October 6, 2018. He was also rewarded with a day set aside to celebrate him.
