He emphasized that his previous experiences performing at large international venues have prepared him well for this challenge.
“A few weeks back, I performed alongside Davido at his concert in Madison Square Garden, which holds around 20,000 people, and I’ve graced the stage at a major reggae festival in Austin, another large venue,” he said.
Stonebwoy also highlighted his participation in events at even larger venues, such as the World Cup stadium in Qatar, with a capacity of 40,000, and Summer Jam, known for drawing massive crowds
Stonebwoy further underscored his familiarity with large audience dynamics through his local event, ‘Ashaiman to the World’, which consistently attracts significant crowds.
He also recalled a memorable moment from two years ago when he joined Davido on stage at the O2 Arena.
The feeling of hearing the crowd sing along to my songs was absolutely amazing. Because of that, I believe that selling out the O2 Arena is definitely achievable,” he concluded.
