Nigerian music sensation Asake is set to headline his second concert at the O2 Arena on September 21. This concert is a part of his highly anticipated “Lungu Boy” tour, which kicks off in August 2024. Asake’s first headline show at the O2 Arena was in 2023, just a year after he emerged in the music industry.
Asake has also announced the release of his new LP, “Lungu Boy,” ahead of the tour. This will be his third album in three years and his fourth project since January 2022. Despite a busy year of collaborations with artists like Zlatan, Ayra Starr, Victony, Tems, and Central Cee, Asake has only released one solo song in 2024, “Only Me,” which he dropped as a surprise on his birthday.
Filling the 20,000-seat O2 Arena is a significant achievement, even for many American artists, but Asake, along with fellow Nigerian superstars Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, has proven African music’s global appeal and success.
Asake’s upcoming “Lungu Boy” album and tour mark another milestone in his rapidly rising career. His powerful exploration of the Amapiano genre has catapulted him to international fame, and fans eagerly await the new music and live performances that will showcase his unique talent and energy.
