The upcoming sold-out concert at the 20,000-seat O2 Arena in London is a major milestone in Davido's incredible career. It marks another pivotal chapter in his meteoric rise to fame, building upon his historic 2019 achievement of becoming the first Nigerian solo artist to sell out the iconic venue.
