“On Saturday 13th we will make history at the O2 Academy Brixton in London. I’m grateful to be partnering with my label UMG Africa, Kiswe & AdrianoMDM to share this moment with my fans,” said Tiwa Savage.
“The support I’ve received across my career so far has been incredible so to be able to give something back in this way feels good.”
The event will start with a 25-minute opening video celebrating Savage’s past performances, music videos, and a note to fans. The two-hour concert will begin at 9 pm UK, 4 pm EDT for fans to view from the comfort of their own homes.
To ensure Savage fans in Africa can tune in, Airtel will be streaming the concert to customers in Nigeria and Airtel Africa through the Airtel TV platform.
