Award-winning singer, David Adeleke, more popularly known as Davido, has yet again sold out an upcoming concert at London’s highly acclaimed 20,000-capacity O2 Arena.

The venue is in the centre of The O2 entertainment complex on the Greenwich Peninsula in southeast London, the United Kingdom.

The singer, billed to perform at the multi-purpose indoor arena on March 5, confirmed his sellout in a Twitter post.

Selling out the O2 or performing there, for many Nigerian artistes, has become something of a hallmark of success.

In January 2019, Davido sold out the 20,000 concert venue which is considered to be a huge feat for any artiste.

Davido’s latest concert win comes after Wizkid, the Grammy-winning Afrobeats superstar, scored the same feat.

Tickets for Wizkid’s November 2021 concert at The O2 sold out in 12 minutes and subsequently in two minutes.

In 2018, Wizkid headlined a sold-out concert at the event centre, making the news for what was, at the time, his biggest performance.
