No Ghanaian artiste can single-handedly fill the O2 arena – Alordia

UK Based- Ghanaian promoter, Alordia born Nii Ofori Tackie has declared that no performer from Ghana can single-handedly sell out the O2 Arena.

Conversations regarding the necessity for Ghanaian artists to book a performance at the renowned O2 Arena have recently taken place.

Alordia thinks some of the biggest names in Ghanaian music are only playing to themselves when they boast about how full the arena can get when they play there.

Alordia claims that although no one performer can fill the O2 on their own, events there can draw large crowds if other musicians get together to host a concert there.

Citing an example, he explained that Medikal was able to fill the venue and had a successful show because the likes of Sarkodie, Efya and co came in to support him.

He continued that Nigerian superstar Davido while trying to host a show there relied on Stonebwoy and King Promise to help him to have a show.

He said: “Even with the Nigerian artistes that fill the O2 Arena it's not just one artiste that does that singlehandedly but a lot of them come together to fill it.

I've never seen any single Nigerian artiste who comes to fill the O2 Arena alone so if we also want to do it, it cannot be one artiste.

“Because even if the likes of David come to fill the O2 Arena you'd see Ghanaian artistes like Stonebwoy and King Promise here supporting him to do it.

“As for that we shouldn't look at that way in the sense that just one artiste comes to fill the O2 Arena from Ghana and we normally mention the headline artiste that's why it seems so.

“But they get support from other artistes as well so if we also want to fill the O2 Arena, it's not going to be one artiste just like Medikal came to sell the O2 Indigo but it wasn't him alone.

“Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, Efya and other musicians from Ghana came to London to support Medikal at O2 indigo which made the show very exciting”.
