Afrobeats titan Davido has turned his 5ive Alive Tour into a continental conquest—12 sold-out shows, millions of dollars earned, and a roaring celebration that lit up Maryland on August 5, 2025.
“We sold out every night and made millions of dollars,” Davido declared, cutting a celebratory cake after the show—marking one of the biggest solo tour victories in Afrobeats history.
From Lagos to the Limelight
The tour blazed through some of North America’s most iconic venues:
Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (19,000 capacity): Davido joined Burna Boy and Rema in the exclusive league of Nigerian acts to headline and sell out the mega-arena.
Brooklyn’s Barclays Center: Another 19,000 seats. Another sold-out night. Davido stamped his name in the books with a thunderous, high-energy show that proved Afrobeats has truly gone global.
Star Power + Precision
With Cobhams Asuquo as music director and a stellar lineup of supporting acts including OdumoduBlvck, Victony, and Moravvey, Davido’s live performances were a masterclass in stage presence and sonic craftsmanship.
“If you dream it, it’s possible. With God, everything is possible,” he told fans—reflecting on the road from homegrown stardom to global domination.
Next Stop: Grande Finale
After the Merriweather Post Pavilion show in Maryland, Davido is gearing up for his grand finale: the annual AWAY concert in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on November 20—a tradition that now feels like a coronation.
More Than Music: It’s a Movement
Commercially, the tour has proven that Afrobeats can fill stadiums and flood bank accounts.
Culturally, it underscores Davido’s role in reshaping the global soundscape and solidifying African music as a powerhouse export.
Emotionally, it’s a victory lap for an artist who has stayed true to his roots while conquering the world stage.
Final Word
Davido’s 5ive Alive Tour isn’t just a concert series—it’s a cultural milestone.
Twelve shows. Zero empty seats. Millions earned. Dreams realized.
