Afrobeats king Davido delivered an explosive, high-energy performance at the iconic Eagle Square on Sunday, December 14, effectively shutting down the Federal Capital Territory. The concert, part of the artist’s highly successful 5IVE Nigeria Tour, saw the venue massively sold out. Fans called the event “electric” and “unforgettable,” as the global star brought his arena-level production home for what was a major highlight of the “Detty December” calendar.
The Davido 5IVE Tour Abuja stop marked the fifth leg of the Nigerian homecoming series, which celebrates his fifth studio album, 5ive. The night was packed with hit anthems, including “Unavailable,” “Feel,” and “Aye,” all performed to roaring cheers from the mammoth crowd. This leg of the tour has already recorded a cumulative attendance of over 80,000 fans nationwide, demonstrating the massive national appeal of the 30BG boss.
The Abuja concert was a crucial addition to the tour, which had initially excluded the FCT. Davido personally announced the Eagle Square stop in October, noting the fan demand that necessitated the expansion. The show featured the same world-class staging and visuals that defined his successful North American tour earlier in the year. The Davido 5IVE Tour Abuja show served as a major cultural moment.
Following this huge success, the tour will conclude with a grand finale and homecoming concert in Lagos on Christmas Day. The triumph in the capital city confirms Davido’s status as a leading voice in Afrobeats, capable of commanding sold-out stadiums across the nation.
