Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has announced a three-night concert residency at the National Theatre in Lagos as part of his upcoming December performances.
The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, announced the project on Friday, September 18, revealing that the concerts will be held under the title “Oriadé: The Residency.” The announcement has generated excitement among fans as the artiste prepares for another major homecoming performance.
According to reports, the residency is scheduled for December and will give fans multiple opportunities to see the award-winning singer perform in Lagos. Rather than staging a single large concert, the residency format will allow Davido to spread the performances across three nights.
The National Theatre is one of Nigeria’s most prominent entertainment venues, making the choice of location significant for an artiste whose career has included major performances in Nigeria and internationally.
The announcement comes during a busy period for Davido. The singer has continued to maintain a strong presence in the global Afrobeats scene, while also appearing prominently in major African music award events.
Earlier this year, Davido was among the leading nominees for the 2026 AFRIMMA Awards, receiving five nominations as the awards returned after a two-year break.
His upcoming Lagos residency also adds to the growing number of major music events being staged in Nigeria, as international and local artistes continue to use the country as an important destination for concerts and entertainment experiences.
For fans, the three-night format could provide a more extensive concert experience, potentially allowing Davido to perform a wider selection of songs from different periods of his career.
Details regarding ticket prices, opening acts and the exact December dates were not fully provided in the initial announcement.
The concert is nevertheless expected to attract significant attention from music fans in Lagos and beyond, particularly given Davido’s large following and his long-standing connection with the Nigerian entertainment scene.
“Oriadé: The Residency” will add another major event to Nigeria’s December entertainment calendar, a period traditionally associated with concerts, festivals and large-scale music events.
