Asake sells out first show at prestigious O2 Academy Brixton in 5 minutes

Asake, the fast-rising Nigerian singer, has sold out his first show at the prestigious O2 Academy Brixton in London in five minutes.

The ‘Sungba’ crooner broke the news in an Instagram post on Friday. He also announced a second show at the venue to accommodate other interested music lovers.

 

Asake is scheduled to perform at the 4,921-capacity venue on December 11.

 

The concert is part of his forthcoming tour for ‘Mr. Money With The Vibe,’ his debut album, in the United Kingdom.

 

In the post, Asake said tickets for his second show at the hall would be available as from Monday.

 

He also appreciated his fans, adding that the feat would have been impossible without them.

 

“UK Terminators sold out my 1st London show in five minutes una too much. Can’t leave anyone out 2nd Date added tickets on sale Monday. Let’s go! I can’t wait to see you all!!” he wrote.

 

The development further stretches the singer’s impressive career run since he came into the limelight.

 

With the feat, Asake joins the list of Nigerian singers who have sold out the venue.

 

In 2018, Burna Boy also sold out the hall during the London leg of his ‘Life On The Outside’ album tour.

 

Several Nigerian artistes have also performed at the highly acclaimed entertainment complex.

 

In December 2019, Naira Marley and Zlatan Ibile headlined a show held at the venue.
