Last night Olamide closed the doors at OVO Wembley Arena with every ticket taken. The venue held 12,500 fans, and the moment he accepted the official sold-out plaque was electric. This show isn’t just a big number — it’s proof of how Olamide’s music reaches people across the world.
Why the Wembley show matters
Wembley is one of the biggest indoor venues in the UK. Selling out a space with 12,500 seats shows more than popularity; it proves the artist can draw large crowds overseas. For Olamide, this was a major milestone that highlights his standing in Nigerian music and Afrobeats at large.
How many people attended?
The official figure for the night was 12,500 — full capacity for OVO Wembley Arena. Staff at the venue confirmed the show as a complete sell-out, and Olamide was presented with a sold-out plaque on stage to celebrate the achievement.
Standout moments from the show
- Mass sing-alongs to classics and recent hits.
- Surprise guest appearances that had the crowd roaring.
- A touching pause where the arena lit up with phone lights as Olamide thanked his fans.
Did he receive a sold-out plaque?
Yes. After his set, the organisers presented Olamide with the official sold-out plaque on stage while the audience cheered. It was a highlight that confirmed the night’s success.
What this means for his career
This success adds to Olamide’s long list of milestones. It reinforces his role as a major figure in Nigerian music and shows that his fanbase is active and growing internationally. Expect more demand for big shows across the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond.
Will there be more international dates?
Given the turnout at Wembley, more international shows are likely. Fans in the US, Canada, and Europe have been asking for dates for a while. Promoters pay attention to wins like this, so more large-scale events could be announced soon.
Why do fans call Olamide the GOAT?
Fans give him that title because of his long run of hit songs, his influence on younger artists, and his ability to stay true to his sound while growing his audience. The Wembley win strengthened that reputation.
