Davido will travel from Uyo to Enugu, where he will perform at Michael Okpara Square on October 26. Though smaller than Uyo Stadium, this facility is popular among locals and is expected to have a lively environment. Fans in the Southeast are already buzzing with anticipation.

The next leg of the trip is Yola, Adamawa state, where Davido will perform at Mahmud Ribadu Square on October 29. The open-air venue has no official capacity, and ticket sales have yet to be announced, but hopes in the northeast remain high.

The first part of the tour will conclude on November 2 with a concert at Ibadan's iconic Liberty Stadium, now known as Obafemi Awolowo Stadium. With a capacity of 25,000, this arena is significant in Nigerian sporting and cultural history as the country's first modern stadium.

Following these first four events, Davido will return for two more headline performances before the end of the year. On December 14, he will excite audiences at Eagle Square in Abuja, and he will end the year with a big Christmas Eve show at Eko Hotel in Lagos, which promises to be a fantastic evening.

Sharing the news with fans on Instagram, the musician wrote:

“I’m blessed to perform all around the world, and everywhere I go, Nigeria goes with me. But this time… I’m bringing it HOME. 🫡 After an unforgettable North American tour, it’s only right we bring that energy back where it all began. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 . 5IVE TOUR NIGERIA, y’all ready??!! This one’s for the culture. This one’s personal. This one’s for US. #Davido #Homecoming. #5iveAliveTour. #Wema5iveAliveTour.”
