Wondering how much Wizkid and Burna Boy made for their O2 Arena shows?
Wizkid and Burna Boy have had a seven-figure success at the 02 Arena, which makes logic to spotlight the London arena’s return to full-capacity events. With complications surrounding international touring, these Nigerian stars boast some of the biggest non-U.S. Boxscore numbers of 2021. Burna Boy even joined Wizkid on stage at the last of his three shows to debut a new collaboration, “B.d’Or.” In all, the O2 Arena has hosted 29 shows in 2021, grossing a combined $23.5 million and selling 341,000 tickets.
The welcome back sequel began with an Aug. 27 performance by Burna Boy, grossing $1.3 million and selling 15,200 tickets.
The sequel picked back up in November with a show by Ministry of Sound (Nov. 13; $324,000; 3,900 tickets), Mo Gilligan (Dec. 8; $447,00; 10,900) and Tom Jones (Dec. 9; $643,000; 6,700).
The undisputed highlight throughout the series was a sold-out three-night run by Wizkid on Nov. 28, 29 and Dec. 1, bringing in $2.9 million from 50,800 tickets sold.
