Young Jonn Dear London arrived on September 25, 2026, the same day the Nigerian star took his music to OVO Arena Wembley for his UK headline concert.
The seven-track EP gave the night another layer. Young Jonn named the project after London, then performed in the city on the same day. For an artist who first built his reputation behind the scenes, the moment marks another step into the spotlight.

The producer-turned-singer has spent years building his catalogue. His transition from hit-making producer to recording artist brought songs such as Dada and Xtra Cool to a wider audience.
His albums Jiggy Forever and Blue Disco also helped establish his identity beyond production.
Now, Dear London adds another chapter. The project contains seven tracks, including Destiny, By 4, Shege, Elumelu, Glass in the Air, Hold Somebody, and Ws in the Chat. The EP carries no guest features, keeping Young Jonn at the center of every record.
A New Chapter in London
Young Jonn’s Wembley show also carried personal weight. It was reported that he had spent roughly a decade unable to perform in the UK because of visa issues.
That changed in 2026, allowing him to return to London for his first show there in years. Meanwhile, reports confirmed that the concert sold out the 12,500-capacity OVO Arena Wembley.
The timing made the EP feel like more than a regular release. London became both the title and the setting for one of Young Jonn’s biggest career nights.
