Burna Boy to Headline London Stadium for Third Time in 2027

Burna Boy, the multi-award-winning Nigerian artist, is set to headline the 80,000 capacity London Stadium for a record third time in 2027. He first made history in June 2023 by becoming the first African artist to headline and sell out the stadium, returning for another sold-out concert in June 2024.

This achievement extends his record as the only African artist to have sold out the venue, which has been home to the English football team West Ham since 2016. Burna Boy announced this upcoming concert on August 3, 2026, via his X account, shortly after unveiling a diamond-laced neckpiece to commemorate his historical sold-out shows.

The pendant features 600 carats of natural VVS diamonds and 1 kilogram of gold. Additionally, Burna Boy hinted at more announcements in the coming weeks, suggesting a possible album release ahead of his 2027 tour.

In 2026, he also achieved significant success with a song that serves as the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
