Published 4 days ago3 minute read

Ghanaian superstar Black Sherif has once again proven his global appeal, delivering an unforgettable three-night takeover in the UK as part of his critically acclaimed Iron Boy Tour.

Originally slated for just two nights, the overwhelming demand forced an additional date, proof of the magnetic pull of the 23-year-old’s artistry.

The UK leg, which kicked off on July 4 at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, saw fans treated to a career-spanning set list.

It ranged from his early breakout hits to fan favorites off his chart-dominating Iron Boy album.

The energy was electric, with crowds singing along to every word, turning the venues into a sea of euphoria.

Initially, the UK shows were meant to be part of his earlier US and Europe run (April-May 2025), but Blacko postponed them due to increased demand, vowing to deliver an “incredible experience.”

He was subsequently spotted at a few venues and events back home in Ghana, among other minor appearances in Paris, a move that further whetted the appetite of UK fans who had been waiting for a new date since the tour was rescheduled.

True to his word, the rescheduled dates not only sold out but left fans including Black Stars’ Mohammed Kudus, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Tottenham’s Kelvin Danso raving.

On Day 1, Blacko broke down singing 'One', a song which draws the painful likeness between his journey and that of his father, leaving fans emotional.
