Adekunle Gold’s general sale for The Greatest Showman opened on November 6, and by that night he was telling fans that three ticket tiers were almost gone. “Only a few GOLD, OGARANYA and COCO MONEY tickets left,” he posted, pointing fans back to thegreatestshowman.co.
The sale moved fast from the start. Presale opened at 10 a.m. on November 5 and sold out that afternoon, with a warning for the next morning: “IF YOU DELAY ONE MINUTE, OTILOR!” General sale went live at 10 a.m. on November 6, and he spent the hours after it quoting fans who had bought in.
One of them, which he reshared, came from a fan who had just secured a ticket after missing his show last year while “waiting on people to go with.”
The show itself is set. The Greatest Showman runs on December 26 at the National Theatre in Lagos, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., with the MUSON Orchestra and his band, The 79th Element, behind him. The dress code is black tie, and Clear Promotions is the host. The ticket page still listed the event as scheduled, with its Get Tickets button live, on November 9.
It is a repeat booking on purpose. Last December 26 he became the first artist to headline a concert at the venue after it reopened as the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, and he sold it out. Olamide hosted, and Davido, Adewale Ayuba and Yinka Ayefele joined him on stage, as covered here when this year’s date was announced. The 2026 poster names no guests so far.
Before Lagos, there is London. Early on November 7 he shared dates at Blue Note London for November 23 and 24, and the venue’s page lists two sets each night, at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
The orchestra side of the show already has a record behind it. In August he put out “Fuji Orchestra (Live From The Royal Festival Hall, London, 2025),” 11 songs credited to him and the Guildhall Session Orchestra. On December 26 the players are the MUSON Orchestra, the hall is his own city’s, and three days into general sale, the question is how long the remaining tiers last.
