Grammy-nominated Afrobeats megastar Davido is set to make a grand homecoming as he officially announces the Nigerian leg of his ‘5IVE’ tour, a celebration of his roots, legacy, and the vibrant culture that birthed his global success.
In doing so, Davido becomes the first of Afrobeats’ Big 3 alongside Wizkid and Burna Boy to embark on a multi-city tour across Nigeria in the modern “Afrobeats to the World” era.
After years of neglect in the live performance department, this moment marks a turning point for Nigerian concert culture. For the first time in years, a new generation of Nigerian music lovers will get to experience their biggest stars live, not just on streaming platforms or international stages, but right in their own cities.
Following a triumphant North American tour, where he sold out major arenas and thrilled fans with electrifying performances, Davido took to social media to share his excitement about returning home to perform for his Nigerian audience.
“I’m blessed to perform all around the world, and everywhere I go, Nigeria goes with me. But this time… I’m bringing it HOME.
After an unforgettable North American tour, it’s only right that we bring that energy back where it all began. 5IVE TOUR NIGERIA, y’all ready??!!
This one’s for the culture. This one’s personal. This one’s for US,” he wrote.
The ‘5IVE’ Nigeria Tour is a continuation of the momentum behind Davido’s fifth studio album, 5IVE, released in April 2025; a project that reaffirmed his dominance in Afrobeats and showcased his evolution as a global artist.
According to the official schedule, the tour will kick off on October 26 in Akwa Ibom, before heading to Adamawa on October 29, Enugu on November 1, and Ibadan on November 9. It will climax in a grand finale in Lagos on December 25, promising a festive concert that will cap off the year in true Davido style.
Fans across Nigeria are already buzzing in anticipation, with many calling the announcement a “full-circle moment” for the superstar, who has consistently championed Nigerian music on the world stage.
Davido’s 5IVE album, which features chart-topping hits and collaborations with both local and international acts, has been lauded for its fusion of infectious rhythms, heartfelt storytelling, and a celebration of African excellence.
As excitement builds, one thing is certain, when Davido says he’s bringing it home, Nigeria is about to witness another unforgettable O.B.O experience, one that bridges the gap between global fame and local connection.
