Davido Is Coming Home: “5ive Tour Nigeria” Dates Revealed — Fans Brace for Epic Return
Afrobeats heavyweight David Adedeji Adeleke (Davido) has electrified the music scene with the official announcement of the Nigerian leg of his ‘5ive Tour’, setting the stage for one of the biggest homecoming moments in recent memory. After a triumphant run across North America, the singer is bringing the energy back to his roots — and the details just dropped.
🌍 Global to Local: The Tour That Comes Full Circle
Davido’s 2025 world tour, dubbed the “5ive Tour”, has already played to massive audiences across the United States and Canada, promoting his fifth studio album, 5ive. Now, with the Nigerian chapter confirmed, he’s recalibrating the spotlight onto home soil.
In a social media post via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Davido emphasized this leg is more than concerts — it’s personal.
> “I’m blessed to perform all around the world, and everywhere I go — Nigeria goes with me. But this time, I’m bringing it HOME. After an unforgettable North American tour, it’s only right we bring that energy back where it all began. My 5ive Tour Nigeria, y’all ready? This one’s for the culture. This one’s personal. This one’s for us.”
🗓️ Nigerian Dates & Cities to Know
Here’s the full lineup for 5ive Tour Nigeria:
Date City / State Venue (Expected)
October 26, 2025 Uyo, Akwa Ibom Godswill Akpabio Stadium
October 29, 2025. Yola, Adamawa Mahmud Ribadu Square
November 1, 2025 Enugu Michael Okpara Square
November 9, 2025 Ibadan Liberty Stadium
December 25, 2025 Lagos (Major Venue / Eko Hotel — TBA)
Some sources also hint at an Abuja show on December 14, 2025 at Eagle Square, which would extend the tour’s reach to Nigeria’s capital.
Such a broad spread — spanning the South, East, North East, and West — signals Davido’s intent: to bring the full force of his show to fans across the country, not just to Lagos alone.
🎫 Ticketing & What to Expect
Tickets are already expected to hit official portals soon. Reports indicate early bird options at around ₦5,000, general admission (GA) around ₦10,000, and premium VIP / Meet & Greet experiences with substantially higher pricing tiers. Some outlets suggest ultra-lux options may reach ₦1,000,000 for limited-access VIP tables, which shows how high-stakes and high-value this tour is shaping up to be.
Fans are advised to purchase only via official channels to avoid scalping or fraud. Davido’s official website (iamdavido.com/events) will list the confirmed venues and ticket buying links.
🎤 What Makes This Tour More than a Concert
1. Cultural Homecoming
After making waves on the global stage, Davido framing this leg as a “home tour” elevates it. He’s not just playing in Nigeria; he’s reconnecting with his roots, his people, and the cultural energy that shaped his journey.
2. Showcasing the Album 5ive
The tour serves as a live vehicle for 5ive, an album that blends Afrobeat, amapiano, and cross-continental sounds. Tracks like “Be There Still,” “Offa Me,” and “With You” are already anchor pieces in his setlist. Audience members can expect fully produced performances, surprise guests, and immersive stage visuals.
3. Pan-Nigeria Inclusion
By visiting cities like Yola and Enugu, Davido sidesteps the common trap of only performing in Lagos or Abuja. This tour is reaching broadly — connecting with fans who don’t always get major shows close to home.
4. Emotional Resonance
Davido has openly confronted intense personal experiences — notably, the tragic loss of his eldest son in 2022 and welcoming twins afterward. Music for him has been cathartic. This tour is an emotional chapter, not just a commercial one.
