A landmark London show from one of Afrobeats’ new-generation superstars — streamed around the world from The O₂ Arena.
On 14 November 2023, REMA brought his “Ravage Uprising” tour to
The O₂ Arena in London for what would become his only UK show of the year.
The performance was staged as a cinematic arena experience and broadcast globally via YouTube,
