For 15 years, this legendary Nigerian singer Davido has helped take Afrobeats from Lagos to audiences around the world, setting Nigeria and Africa at large on the global stage Now, he wants to bring those audiences back home.
Davido will host a three-night residency at Lagos’ National Theatre from December 17 to 19, celebrating his latest album, Oriadé, his biggest hits and 15 years in music.
But this is about more than a homecoming.
Davido wants to show that African artists can create major global music moments right here on the continent, while giving international fans another reason to experience Lagos.

The idea was partly inspired by Bad Bunny’s 2025 residency in Puerto Rico, which drew fans from around the world.
With Lagos already buzzing every December for “Detty December,” Davido hopes his residency can make the city an even bigger destination for Afrobeats fans everywhere.
After taking Afrobeats to the world, Davido wants to bring the world home.
