Grammy-nominated Afrobeats sensation Davido is bringing his ‘5ive Concert’ tour to Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, on Sunday, November 9, 2025, in what promises to be one of the biggest musical events of the year.
According to the organisers, the Oyo State Government has officially thrown its support behind the concert as part of efforts to boost tourism and strengthen the state’s reputation as a hub for entertainment and culture.
The highly anticipated event, set to take place at Liberty Stadium, is expected to draw over 20,000 fans from across the Southwest. The city has been buzzing with excitement as residents and visitors gear up for a night of electrifying performances and world-class production.
Described as a blend of music, culture, and spectacle, the Ibadan edition will see Davido perform his global hits alongside a lineup of homegrown talents, including Keanzo, Fabulous Pizzy, Dele Omo Woli, and Sade Blaq.
In a statement, the organisers noted that beyond entertainment, the concert seeks to promote local talent and position Ibadan as a growing destination for major live events. They also highlighted the government’s support as a reflection of its increasing commitment to youth engagement and the creative economy.
The city’s hospitality industry is already experiencing a surge, with thousands of fans arriving ahead of the show. Hotels, restaurants, and transport operators are seeing increased patronage as anticipation builds for what many have described as a “historic night in Ibadan.”
Davido’s ‘5ive Concert’ tour continues to reaffirm his status as one of Africa’s most influential performers, merging global artistry with deep local connection.
