From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Wizkid’s show at the O2 Arena in London has sold out in just 12 minutes, leaving fans scrambling to try and find leftover tickets.
The Grammy Award-winning artist is scheduled to perform on 28 November as part of the O2’s Welcome Back lineup, with other acts such as Burna Boy and comedian Mo Gilligan also announced.
Fans who weren’t able to get tickets took their frustration to Twitter, with one even saying she was “crying” after being unable to purchase one.
Another joked: “I’m guessing Wizkid only released 12 tickets for the disciples.”
The Afrobeats star also celebrated the overwhelming demand, tweeting: “Sold out the 02 Arena in 12 minutes. London! I love you.”
Other fans urged Wizkid to add another date to the tour, with one writing: “Yeah Wizkid needs to add another date at the O2! And that would be incredible! History made before our very eyes.”
But most fans took not being able to get tickets for the 20,00- capacity venue in good humour: “Guys they only option is to buy Burna Boy O2 tickets and hide under the seat until Wizkid’s show. May the odds be in your favour.”
His last album, Made in Lagos, was released to critical and commercial acclaim. As a result of the album’s success, Wizkid became the most streamed Nigerian musician of all time.
