Nigerian-American Afrobeats star, Davido is set to headline a three-night residency at the newly remodelled National Theatre in Lagos this December.
The shows, scheduled for December 17 to 19, will mark the first live performance of his latest album, “Oriadé,” in Nigeria.
“LAGOS!!! We bringing it HOME! 15 years of madness and there’s nowhere I’d rather be,” the singer wrote on X.
“ORIADÉ: The Residency comes to the National Theatre for 3 nights this December”, he added.
The 13-track project, released in July, features collaborations with Black Sherif, Mayorkun, FOLA, Leon Thomas, Aya Nakamura, Llona, NO11, JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay.
Davido is expected to perform songs from “Oriadé” alongside selections from his previous albums.
The release coincides with the 15th anniversary of his music career.
The residency will feature new material alongside career-spanning hits, with special guests billed to appear each night.
The concerts are among the first major entertainment announcements for the ‘Detty December’ festive season, a period known for high economic activity and cultural events in the country.
The announcement was accompanied by a trailer and the release of the music video for his single, ‘On the Road’, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at Davido’s life, including his Coachella debut earlier this year.
For the five-time Grammy nominee, the homecoming holds special significance as a chance to reconnect with family, celebrate his roots, and perform for longtime fans.
