21 Savage has announced his first-ever performance in the United Kingdom. The show is scheduled for November 30 at the O2 in London — the city where he was born Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph in 1992 — with support from his childhood best friend 21 Lil Harold, as well as their fellow Atlanta rapper Baby Drill.

21 moved with his mother to Atlanta at age seven, and has only returned once — for his uncle’s funeral in 2005. Since then (until recently), issues with his United States visa have kept him from traveling abroad.

Though the official announcement of his upcoming U.K. concert came today, 21 teased the news of his imminent homecoming on Instagram Friday night with a heartfelt montage of scenes from his life, appropriately soundtracked by Skylar Grey’s “Coming Home.”

This past weekend, 21 Savage celebrated his newly approved permanent U.S. residency with his first-ever show outside the U.S. — he rejoined Drake on their co-headline “It’s All a Blur” tour for a show in Toronto Saturday night. (For the tour’s previous Canadian stops, other artists had filled in for 21.) That tour wraps tonight (October 9) in Colombus, Ohio.
