Davido Lights Up Uyo as ‘5IVE Alive’ Tour Hits Nigeria

Afrobeats superstar Davido made a grand return to Nigerian soil as he kicked off the Nigerian leg of his highly anticipated ‘5IVE Alive’ tour in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The electrifying concert, held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on October 18, 2025, marked the first stop of his nationwide series, and fans turned up in their thousands to witness the iconic performance. Organized in partnership with Wema Bank, the tour aims to celebrate music, culture, and youth energy across key cities in Nigeria. Uyo, often overlooked on the concert map, was Davido’s deliberate choice for the tour opener—a nod to his commitment to reaching fans beyond the usual Lagos and Abuja circuits. From his global hits like “Unavailable”and “Feel”to crowd-favorite throwbacks, Davido delivered a high-energy set with flawless stagecraft, dancers, and surprise appearances. The atmosphere was electric, with the stadium roaring as fans sang along and lit up the night with phone flashlights and uncontainable excitement. Speaking ahead of the concert, Davido said the ‘5IVE Alive’ tour was about reconnecting with home and giving fans a show to remember. “This one is for the culture,” he said. “We’re taking it to every corner we can.” The tour is expected to continue in cities like Port Harcourt, Abuja, Benin, and Lagos, with each stop promising to bring music, unity, and unforgettable energy to Nigerian youth. Davido’s Uyo performance wasn’t just a concert—it was a statement: Afrobeats is alive, local love matters, and OBO is still very much for the people.
