Ghanaian rapper Medikal is on a mission to fill up O2 Arena's Indigo venue in London for the first time.

The artiste recently shared a sneak peek of what is to come, boosting the anticipation of fans.
Medikal unveils more artistes for his O2 Indigo concert
Shatta Wale was the first artiste to commit to Medikal's upcoming concert. In a video, the dancehall artiste confirmed his involvement and rallied his UK fans behind the concert.
Sarkodie followed suit, raising the anticipation for Medikal's concert with a clip from their recent music video set.
Medikal has now announced more artistes, including Joey B, Kwesi Arthur, and Bisa Kdei, all of whom he has featured in some of his songs.
The rapper has also confirmed that UK drill rappers Headie One and Kojo Funds will be on the bill.
The anticipation for the concert continues to rise with ticket sales. In the latest update shared by Medikal, early bird tickets have already sold out as the rapper ramps up preparations to fill the 2800-capacity venue in London.
YEN.com.gh talked to pop-culture journalist Olele Salvador, who weighed in on the thinking behind Medikal's lineup and the possible impact on the rapper's career.
The artistes in the lineup are heavyweights, and no one would be wrong to be concerned about the financial strain on the artiste. I thought the same until I spoke with Medikal himself, and they concluded that most of the people on his lineup were returning favours. Plus, he had a tour operator helping to assuage travel costs. That notwithstanding, I still believe this is a great opportunity for corporate Ghana to identify the immense potential of this concert and tap in."
