MY NEXT SHOW WOULD BE HELD AT THE LONDON 02 ARENA – Medikal

In an interview with United Showbiz, Medikal discussed his intentions for next performances as well as his thoughts on the concert’s surprising turnout.

Astonished by the excess of spectators at the 2,700-seat arena, Medikal conceded that a bigger venue was required to house his steadily expanding fan following.

“The way we invested in the event and generated attention towards it, it was only right that people come in their numbers.

“But I’ve learned my lesson that next time I do a show in the UK, I will opt for a bigger venue because I didn’t expect the massive crowd that came. There were people stuck outside because the inside was already filled up,” he said.
Medikal also addressed the delayed start and rapid-fire performances at the concert, attributing the timing issues to fans arriving later than anticipated.

In response to a question concerning the next potential location for a future UK performance, Medikal suggested that the 20,000-seat O2 Arena might be reserved in order to guarantee enough room for supporters.

“The O2 Arena, because we want a very big space so a lot of people can attend and see the performances,” he revealed.

He disclosed that contractual obligations with the venue management required the event to run precisely on time in order to avoid paying heavy fines for going over the prearranged time limit.

“They couldn’t come on time, that was the main problem, and I don’t blame them because many of them had to go to work, and by the time they closed and got ready to get to the venue, it wasn’t favourable,” he said.

“We were supposed to end the show at 11 pm on the dot due to the agreement I had with the facility managers. If it had gone past 11 pm, I would have had to pay over £300,000 in penalties, and I couldn’t afford that,” he explained.
