Nigerian superstar Wizkid is set to play a headline show at London’s Tottenham Hotspur stadium (cap. 62,850) this summer.

The Grammy Award-winning artist will play the one-off gig on 29 July in support of his fifth studio album ‘More Love, Less Ego’.

The concert marks Wizkid’s return to London after his historic three-date sold-out run at the O2 Arena (21,000) in 2021.

The Afrobeats star reached a major career milestone in 2020 with his Grammy-nominated album ‘Made in Lagos’, which has accumulated more than a billion streams.
