Highlights of Davido 5ive Tour (Abuja)
As early as 9p.m, Eagle Square stadium in Abuja was already packed full with fans eagerly waiting to see the Afrobeats legend. The crowd had dressed to kill, proving they understood the concept of how to prepare for a concert.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere was sweetly serenaded with pre-show DJ sets spinning Davido classics like “Fall” and “If,” building anticipation for the night.
The event then kicked off with amazing performances by creatives including Kodee, Softmadeit, Og Abbah, DJ Ecool, Poco Lee, Cubana Chief Priest, RooBoy, and Morravey.
As at 1:40a.m, the moment everyone was waiting for finally came – Davido was present! The superstar then made a fantastic entrance which started off with “Five by Alhanislam” playing in the background amid a stunning fireworks display.
The crowd went wild as he finally got to the stage, rocking a clean white-on-white outfit by Stake. The look featured a layered white top on white trousers combo, topped with a white face cap and a blue crop jacket he later ditched as the night went on. Adding extra steeze to the outfit were shiny diamond necklaces and brown Timberlands.
He kicked things off with “Anything” as his first song, then continued his performance with hits like “Kante,” “Awuke,” the 2026 Grammy-nominated “With You,” and several others.
Fans who were present confirmed they had a swell time, taking to social media to share their experience and pour out love for the superstar:
“I was there live! A time was had.” – @nekyjane, “Guyyysss he’s finer in person aswrrr, I almost cried.” – @finds_byannie5, “The crowd was massive.” – @playgirlpresh
With these reports, it is evident that the Davido 5ive Tour has unarguably been one of the most exciting music tours in Nigeria this year. It wraps up soon in Lagos via Flytime Fest on December 25, and it promises to be a night of music, fun, and vibes – just like the other five cities.
