Nigerian music star, Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has announced the official date for his headline concert at the iconic O2 Arena in London.
Asake, who made a loud statement in December 2022 after he sold out three dates at the 5000-capacity O2 Brixton Academy in London, is set to make a return to the city.
The YBNL signee suffered a setback after the last lap of his 02 Brixton concert was cancelled after a security breach that led to death.
However, he is set to make things right with the 20,000-capacity 02 Arena.
