Fola Sets London’s O2 Indigo Ablaze in Debut Concert with Bella Shmurda & Shoday
Afrobeats sensation Fola sold out the O2 Indigo Arena in London on April 19, marking his first major UK headline show. Backed by hits from his acclaimed 2025 debut album Carthasis, he captivated fans with dynamic performances and a vibrant stage presence. Blending soulful R&B melodies with infectious Afrobeats rhythms and nods to his Yoruba heritage, Fola thrilled the crowd with fan favourites like “Gokada,” “Caricature,” and “Healer.” Social media clips captured the audience singing every word, underlining his rapid rise to one of Nigeria’s most streamed artists. The night featured surprise appearances from Bella Shmurda, BNXN and Shoday, as well as performances by Blaqbonez, Darko and Gabzy. Highlights included electrifying duets on Fola’s collaborations and guest verses on Shoday’s latest tracks. Having already crossed 1 billion career streams and earning praise from industry peers, Fola is tipped for the coveted Headies Next Rated award. Fans are now eagerly awaiting his sophomore album, due later this year.
