Afrobeats singer, Ahmed Ololade Asake, popularly known as Asake has sold out his show at London’s highly acclaimed 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 music star made a dramatic entrance via helicopter and thrilled the crowd with his hit tracks including ‘Olorun’, ‘Omo Ope’ and ‘Amapiano’.
Asake’s tour which began in Portimao Portugal on June 20, will end on October 6 in Gold Coast, Australia.
Asake had last year delivered a sold out performance at the O2 Arena.

He signed to YBNL Nation in February 2022. That same month, he released his debut extended play, Ololade, featuring his breakthrough song ‘Omo Ope’ and Olamide and the single ‘Sungba.’
