Asake, the Afrobeats singer, has sold out his show at London’s highly acclaimed 20,000-capacity O2 Arena for the second time.
The venue is in the centre of The O2 entertainment complex on the Greenwich Peninsula in southeast London, United Kingdom.
The singer performed at the multi-purpose indoor arena on September 21, as part of his ‘Lungu Boy World Tour’.
Idris Elba, the British actor, also presented Asake with the sold-out plaque for his new feat and a BRIT silver plaque for ‘Work of Art’, his 2023 album.
The achievement sees Asake join the likes of Wizkid and Davido, who have sold out the O2 Arena more than once.
