Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has announced a three-night concert at the National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos. The concerts, titled Oriadè: The Residency, will take place from December 17 to 19. This announcement was made through an Instagram post on September 18. The event marks 15 years since Davido rose to prominence in the music industry in 2011.
The concerts will be a significant milestone for Davido, who has built a substantial following both locally and internationally. His breakout song, "Dami Duro", brought him national attention in 2011. He has since released several hit songs, including "Aye", "If", and "Fall", which have contributed to the global popularity of Afrobeats. Davido's recent albums include Timeless and 5ive, with his latest album Oriadè being released in July 2026.
Oriadè: The Residency gives Davido an opportunity to perform in Lagos, the city where he grew up and built his early career. The National Theatre, located in Iganmu, Lagos, will host the three-night event. Although Davido has not yet announced ticket prices, sale dates, or the line-up for the concerts, fans are eagerly anticipating the event. The announcement video features Davido performing before large audiences, alongside footage of Lagos and the National Theatre.
Interestingly, Davido's second Lagos concert on December 18 coincides with the opening night of Detty December Fest, which Wizkid is scheduled to headline. The festival, organised by Livespot360, will run from December 18 to 30, featuring 13 days of music, culture, and other activities across two stages. Wizkid's opening concert is set to take place at 6 pm at the Detty December Village in Lagos.
The Detty December Fest has announced ticket prices for Wizkid's concert, with general access listed at ₦50,000 and Golden Circle at ₦150,000. VIP standing is priced at ₦300,000, while tables are available through the festival's concierge. Although it is unclear if Davido's concert will have similar pricing, fans can expect an exciting experience with the artist performing in his hometown.
Davido's Oriadè: The Residency is expected to feature performances that highlight his African musical roots. In an interview about his latest album Oriadè, Davido spoke about returning to his musical roots after years of performing for audiences worldwide. The concert is likely to showcase his growth and evolution as an artist over the past 15 years.
With two separate events announced by Davido and Wizkid, fans hoping to see both artists will need to consider attending Davido's December 17 or 19 show. As the event approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting ticket information and the line-up for Oriadè: The Residency.
