The multi-platinum rapper, singer-songwriter and producer Badshah has announced a show at London’s on Sunday 22 March, with Badshah being the first Indian Rapper to headline at the world-famous venue.
Badshah is one of India’s most prolific, boundary-pushing music powerhouses, with 18+ chart-topping hits each with 300million+ YouTube plays across an enormous catalogue of 5 billion+ streams. He has a massive global fanbase and has collaborated with superstars from Shah Rukh Khan and Arijit Singh to Sean Paul, Diplo, J Balvin, Davido and Tiësto.
The show follows his surprise appearance at The O2 during Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati Tour and performed ‘Naina’. That night, before tens of thousands of fans, Badshah shared his dream of returning to headline The O2 - a dream that will now be realised next March. It will be a landmark moment for Indian hip hop on the global stage, signalling the genre’s fast-growing international footprint and command of the world’s biggest stages.
Badshah states, “Headlining The O2 is more than a milestone — it’s a dream I’ve carried for years. Desi hip hop belongs on the global stage, and this show is our declaration. London, we’re about to make history together — louder, prouder and bigger than ever. 22nd March 2026 will be a night we remember forever.”
