Young Jonn Brings The Wicked Producer Era to OVO Arena Wembley

Nigerian Afrobeats star Young Jonn is set to take over London’s OVO Arena Wembley on Friday, September 25, 2026, for a major headline concert that marks another significant chapter in his evolution from celebrated music producer to one of Nigeria’s leading contemporary recording artists.

Known to millions as “The Wicked Producer,” Young Jonn built an influential career behind the scenes before successfully stepping into the spotlight as a singer and songwriter. His London concert will bring that evolution to one of the UK capital’s major live entertainment venues, with a full live band and an arena-scale production for the evening.

The concert is scheduled for Friday, September 25, with doors opening at 6:30pm. The event will showcase Young Jonn’s catalogue of fan favourites and new material, combining Afrobeats with contemporary pop influences.

Young Jonn, born John Saviours Udomboso, began producing music at a young age and moved to Lagos in 2012, where he developed his craft at Hit Factory Studios. His production work subsequently became an important part of the sound of Nigerian popular music before he began establishing himself as a recording artist in his own right.

His transition into performing has produced a catalogue of Afrobeats records that has helped establish a distinct identity beyond his reputation as a producer. The London concert therefore offers an opportunity to experience both sides of Young Jonn's musical journey: the producer who helped shape contemporary Nigerian music and the performer now commanding major international stages.

The OVO Arena Wembley show will also feature The Compozers, adding a live-band dimension to the night's programme.

The choice of OVO Arena Wembley is significant within the wider growth of African music in the UK. The venue has become an important destination for major African artists performing to UK and international audiences, placing Young Jonn's growing live career within the broader expansion of Afrobeats on the global stage.

Young Jonn's London performance comes amid his expanding international live schedule, reflecting the growing geographical reach of his career as an artist.

For London audiences, Young Jonn Live in London promises an arena presentation of the music that has taken the artist from the production room to the centre of the stage.
