On Tuesday 31st March, Gunna returned to The O2 Arena for his second sold-out London show, bringing his European run of the Wun World Tour to a powerful close. The seven-date stretch, which kicked off in Paris at the Adidas Arena on March 20th, saw him perform across Germany, Manchester, and Amsterdam before finishing in the UK capital. Since his release, Gunna has been on an undeniable run, building momentum with consistency and quality drops. That energy translated into real anticipation heading into this tour, particularly in the UK where fans had been waiting for his return.
From the moment the lights dimmed, the atmosphere inside the arena shifted. International DJ Skyla Tylaa set the tone early, warming up the crowd with a high-energy set that perfectly prepared the stage for what was to come. When Gunna finally emerged, it was clear the production had been carefully curated. The stage design was one of the standout elements of the night, following a rugged, stone-inspired theme that mirrored the aesthetic of his latest album, The Last Wun. It created a cinematic feel that elevated the entire performance and gave fans more than just a standard concert experience.
Gunna’s stage presence throughout the show was faultless. Confident, composed, and fully in control, he delivered a performance that felt both polished and authentic. One moment that particularly connected with the audience came during a segment where he handed out roses to women in the front row — a simple gesture that added a personal and memorable touch to the night. Musically, the setlist was structured to take fans on a journey. He opened the show with an impressive run of 11 tracks from The Last Wun, giving the newer material its moment to shine. From there, he seamlessly transitioned into fan-favourite throwbacks including South To The West, NASTY GIRL, and Top Off, sparking waves of nostalgia across the arena.
The final stretch of the show brought the energy to another level. Kicking off with his hit single fukumean, Gunna closed with a string of undeniable anthems including Oh Okay, Drip Or Drown, and Drip Too Hard, ensuring the night ended on a high.
One of the most impressive aspects of the performance and something that sets Gunna apart from many of his peers, was his minimal reliance on backing tracks. His vocals were clear and consistent throughout, allowing fans to truly appreciate his delivery and live performance ability. In an era where heavy backing tracks are the norm, this was a refreshing and noteworthy difference. Overall, Gunna’s second night at The O2 Arena was a statement. A reminder of his position in the game, his growth as an artist, and his ability to deliver at the highest level on an international stage.
