Virgin Media O2 has today announced that Nigerian superstar Wizkid will be performing an exclusive gig for its customers on Wednesday 24 November. Taking place at London’s iconic O2 Forum Kentish Town, the intimate show will be the first chance for fans to see the singer-songwriter perform in the UK since 2019, ahead of his three sold-out shows at The O2.
Having worked with some of the biggest names in music over the past few years – including Beyoncé, Drake, Skepta and Justin Bieber – the afrobeats artist is one of the hottest names on Priority Tickets in 2021. His three upcoming shows at The O2 – part of his international ‘Made in Lagos’ tour and The O2 Welcome Back Shows – sold out in under an hour, with all 20,000 tickets to his performance on Monday, 29 November selling-out in just two minutes.
Virgin Media O2 will give away 800 pairs of tickets to the most-anticipated performance of the year through Priority, celebrating today’s news that Virgin Media cable customers now have access to the rewards app which was previously exclusive to those on O2.
Wizkid, said, “It’s been two years since I performed in London! Feels very good to be coming back in a big way! For fans who may have missed out on tickets to the Made in Lagos Tour, I’ll be doing an exclusive gig at O2 Forum Kentish Town. See y’all soon.”
