Ghanaian event executive based in the UK, Nii Ofori Tackie, known as Alordia, has added his thoughts to the trending debate about Ghanaian artistes in pole position to have sold-out concerts at the O2 Arena.
The conversation has become topical after Medikal’s explosive showdown at the O2 Arena’s 2800-capacity venue, Indigo.
During a recent interview with Joy Prime, Alordia explained that Black Sherif did not have the clout to pull off a sold-out concert at the O2 Arena.
According to Alordia, Ghana needs more time, perhaps about two years, to fill the 20k-capacity O2 Arena. He argued that the milestone had little to do with an artiste’s capability and more about timing and market reach.
That said, the event executive established that Black Sherif would not be able to fill the O2. However, King Promise , with his global appeal, could pull it off.
“King Promise would not only attract local fans but also international audiences to his shows.“If King Promise is doing a show right now, I bet you he will get some people from foreign countries to come,” Alordia told Joy Prime.
King Promise recently sold out his first-ever debut Asian tour, playing in Singapore, Bali and Indonesia.
In 2021, the event executive established that the milestone would still be impossible for Ghana even if 20 artistes collaborated.
The conversation about Ghanaians getting their breakout moment with the enviable O2 Arena has lingered on for a long time.
