Davido has once again made history, this time as the first artist to sell out the 30,000-capacity Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The show, part of his “5ive Tour,” marked the beginning of the Nigerian leg of his world tour and drew fans from across the country and beyond. Known for his electrifying performances and undeniable stage presence, Davido turned the massive stadium into a celebration of music, unity, and Afrobeats excellence.
The concert was more than just a performance—it was a milestone for Nigerian entertainment. With tickets sold out well ahead of time, the energy inside the venue was nothing short of electric. Fans sang along to hits like “Unavailable,” “Feel,” and “Risky,” while Davido delivered a show that reflected years of consistency, passion, and connection with his audience. From the lights to the sound and choreography, every detail of the night underscored his reputation as one of Africa’s biggest performers.
For Uyo, the event was a big win for entertainment and tourism, proving that major shows can succeed beyond Lagos and Abuja. Hotels were fully booked, local businesses made profits, and the success of the stadium highlighted Akwa Ibom’s potential for hosting large events. Davido’s decision to start this part of his tour in Uyo showed his effort to spread music’s influence across different parts of Nigeria.
Davido’s sold-out concert is another major achievement, strengthening his image as a global Afrobeats ambassador. It also showed how far Nigerian music has come, gaining worldwide attention while keeping its local roots strong. As his “5ive Tour” continues, one thing is clear—Davido’s momentum isn’t slowing down, and neither is Afrobeats.
