Davido Is Taking ORIADÉ To The National Theatre For Three Nights
Lagos · Saturday 26 September 2026
Davido will bring ORIADÉ home with a three-night residency at the National Theatre in Lagos from 17 to 19 December. It is being billed as a historic run for a Nigerian artist at the venue.
Why a residency, and why there
A one-night stadium show is an event. Three nights in the same building is a production: a fixed stage, a designed show, and an audience that can choose its night. It is how artists at the top of the business in Las Vegas and London now work, and it is rare in Nigeria because very few venues can support it.
| Residency | Details |
|---|---|
| Dates | 17, 18 and 19 December |
| Venue | National Theatre, Lagos |
| Timing | Detty December, when the diaspora is home |
December in Lagos is the busiest live-music month on the calendar.
December in Lagos has plenty of concerts. It has had very few residencies.
What will decide whether it works
Ticket prices, sound and getting in and out of Iganmu in December traffic. The concept is strong and Davido can fill three nights. The execution of the practical details is what turns a historic announcement into a historic show.
