Davido’s major headline-grabbing December block is an unprecedented three-night residency at the newly restored National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, rather than the National Stadium!
Afrobeats heavyweight David Adeleke, globally known as Davido, has officially set the standard for Detty December 2026 by announcing a historic, multi-day cultural event: "ORIADÉ: The Residency."
Taking over the newly restored National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, from December 17 to December 19, 2026, the three-night concert experience marks a monumental milestone celebrating 15 years of chart-topping hits and global dominance.
Moving away from standard one-off arena concerts, Davido is curating an immersive, multi-chapter homecoming experience designed to celebrate his journey and the fans who built it:
The setlists will blend tracks from his latest era—including material from his ORIADÉ project—with the classic anthems that defined the golden age of modern Afrobeats.
The three-night run culminates in specialized experiences, such as "Friend Night" on the final evening, bringing out his closest collaborators, producers, and industry peers who have worked behind the scenes over the last decade and a half.
By choosing the newly renovated National Theatre—a legendary pillar of Nigerian arts and culture—Davido is shifting the paradigm of how A-list artists stage homecoming events in Lagos.
As ticket demand surges following the official presales, "ORIADÉ: The Residency" is shaping up to be the definitive cultural moment of the year-end holiday calendar.
With Davido locking down a historic three-night residency at the newly restored National Theatre instead of a traditional single-night stadium concert, do you think multi-night artist residencies are about to become the new blueprint for top-tier Afrobeats concerts in Lagos?
