Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido is bringing a major music celebration home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From 17 to 19 December 2026, he will perform for three nights at the renovated National Theatre in Lagos. Titled Oriad\u00e9: The Residency<\/em>, the event will celebrate his latest album and his 15-year musical journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The residency is more than a series of concerts. Davido wants to demonstrate that African artists can produce world-class entertainment experiences on the continent, using African venues, creative talent and local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The performances are also expected to attract music fans and visitors to Lagos during the busy December season\u2014supporting jobs, tourism and Nigeria\u2019s growing creative economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After taking Afrobeats around the world, Davido is returning to the audience and city that helped shape his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not simply Davido coming home to perform. It is a statement that Africa does not have to export all its greatest moments for the world to value them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For three nights, Lagos will not just host an Afrobeats concert\u2014it will stand at the centre of global African culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And perhaps this is only the beginning: a future where the world no longer watches Africa\u2019s biggest moments from somewhere else, but travels to Africa to experience them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Des personnes authentiques. De vrais progr\u00e8s. La vraie Afrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sources: CNN; Davido\u2019s official announcement; TheCable Lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido is bringing a major music celebration home.
