In a milestone for children’s music, the American pop group KIDZ BOP has officially earned a Guinness World Records title for becoming the youngest music performance ensemble to headline an arena show. The record was set on March 8, 2025, during their sold-out concert at the OVO Arena Wembley in London.
With an average age of just 14 years and 168 days, the group—comprised of talented teens Aleah, Cliff, Matty, and Shila—proved they were more than ready for the big stage. Guinness World Records adjudicator Will Munford attended the show and presented the official certificate to the group in front of a cheering crowd, cementing their place in the record books.
The record-breaking performance kicked off their new KIDZ BOP Live Certified BOP Tour, and the young performers wowed the audience with a high-energy show featuring family-friendly versions of today’s biggest pop hits.
Days before their historic concert, the group visited the Guinness World Records headquarters in London, where they were surprised with the news of their impending record. The visit was also a chance for them to participate in other fun record challenges, showcasing their enthusiasm and infectious energy.
By taking over the iconic Wembley stage, the KIDZ BOP Kids not only thrilled their fans but also surpassed previous record holders—including Justin Bieber, who performed at Wembley at age 16—and demonstrated that even at a young age, they have what it takes to be world-class entertainers.
