On Friday, 29 August 2025, Tiwa Savage will perform a free, exclusive album-release concert at KOKO in London—a heartfelt gesture to fans as she introduces her upcoming project, This One Is Personal. The event, dubbed “This One Is Personal. Exclusive album release concert,” opens its doors at 6:00 pm and has already sold out, though a wait list remains available  . Tiwa herself has been promoting the show across social platforms, inviting UK fans to “a free show… because this One is Personal,” and encouraging them to sign up via her official site  .

This One Is Personal is set to drop on 29 August 2025, the same evening as the concert, marking a highly emotional and meaningful release for Tiwa. She has described the album as a deeply personal journey, written and recorded over more than two years across cities like Nashville, Malibu, San Francisco, London, and Lagos. In her words, the album “captures different phases of her life, with songs inspired by both painful and joyful experiences,” and it’s not about proving anything—rather, about pouring her emotions into music  . Early promotional posts also confirm high-profile guest appearances including Skepta, James Fauntleroy, and Taves  .

In the last few months, Tiwa has remained creatively active and visible. She appeared on Craig David’s single “Commitment”, released in February 2025—a combination that blends her Afrobeats flair with David’s signature UK R&B sound  . Although not a concert appearance, that collaboration marks a standout musical moment in her recent output. Beyond that, her most notable performance events in late 2023 included starring in the film Water & Garri and performing at the Coronation Concert for King Charles III in May 2023  . That said, it’s clear that This One Is Personal and her London concert are poised to be among her most significant public artistic moments since then.
