Nigerian singer Ayra Starr made history as the first African artist to perform at the NFL halftime show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on October 11, 2026.
Her set included “Heaven Baby,” “Santa,” “Dangerous,” “Hot Body,” “Ms. Paper” and “Rush.” She performed “Santa” and “Dangerous” in one medley and “Hot Body” and “Ms. Paper” in another.
The performance took place during the NFL London game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Young Jonn sold out the 12,500-capacity OVO Arena Wembley in London for his first headline show in the UK.
The show came less than a month after Young Jonn announced that he had finally secured a UK visa after a 10-year wait. He shared his visa approval on August 28, ahead of the September 25 concert.
The concert featured several guest appearances, including Lil Kesh, who joined Young Jonn on stage for a performance of “Efejoku.” Zlatan also made a surprise appearance, performing “Nakupenda” with Young Jonn.
Young Jonn performed several of his songs throughout the night, including “Aquafina,” with the crowd singing along word for word. The audience also joined him for “Mama,” the song he produced for Kizz Daniel.
One of the more personal moments came during his performance of “Mama,” when an angel was used to represent Young Jonn’s late mother during the show.
Following the concert, Young Jonn thanked the London audience on X, writing, “Thank You London ❤️ I’m speechless.”
