Wizkid announces US show at Madison Square Garden

Wizkid, also known as Bigwiz, says he will stage a show at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The award-winning Nigerian musician, announced this shortly after the end of his concert at London’s O2 Arena which lasted for three days.

Wizkid had announced in August that he sold out the O2 Arena, which houses 20,000 people, in 12 minutes ahead of his just-completed concert.

Speaking after the critically-acclaimed concert halted on Wednesday, the ‘Essence’ singer conversed about plans to replicate an analogous performance at Madison Square Garden.

The artist who is currently on tour, made a video backstage saying “America I am coming back, New York Madison Square Garden 20,000 people. Star boy sht and we are going to sell that sht out in two seconds,” he said.

He, however, did not give details on the date of the show.

Madison Square Garden, also simply known as The Garden, is an iconic and the oldest major sporting facility in New York.

It has different sections used for sports and entertainment activities including basketball, boxing, concerts, and wrestling.

The popular facility, which was opened on February 11, 1968, has the same capacity as London’s O2 Arena for concerts.
