Nigeria’s Ruger and BXBN then took over the stage beleted out big tunes as the over 40,000 people danced and sang along.

Grammy award winner Tyla brought some more energy on stage as she performed alongside her dancers. Her energetic performance was followed by a great performance by Franglish, who was shown love by his French speaking fans.

Perhaps the best performance was from the showstopper for the day, Asake. From a magnificent stage set portraying the streets where he comes from, he also brought on stage one of the best UK rappers, Central Cee.

Even though there were slight changes with the performance list at the last minute, where some names like UK rapper J Hus, Ninho, Seyi Vibes were removed, they were replaced by some energetic singers like Ruger, BXBN and  Franglish.
