Global Afrobeats titan Davido has fired the starting pistol on his “5ive Alive” arena sweep, confirming that three of Nigeria’s most electric new‑school voices—Victony, Odumodublvck and Morravey—will ride shotgun when the trek launches on 11 July 2025 at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and barrels through nearly 20 North‑American arenas before the grand finale in Atlanta on 20 November.
Why this line‑up matters
Victony has turned personal tragedy into triumph: after surviving a near‑fatal 2021 crash, the “Soweto” star returned to the stage on crutches, completed four surgeries, and is now sprinting toward superstardom—his falsetto lights up Davido’s single “Holy Water.”
Abuja drill king Odumodublvck brings raw, “Okporoko” energy; his chart‑smashing anthem “Declan Rice” just enjoyed a 200 % streaming spike after the footballer’s Champions League heroics.
Morravey—the 21‑year‑old Port Harcourt songbird who stole the spotlight on Timeless‑era duet “In the Garden”—arrives with viral hit “Ifineme” and the Sony‑backed EP RAVI in her carry‑on.
Tour & album in lock‑step
“5ive Alive” fuels Davido’s fifth LP 5ive (18 April 2025), a 17‑track adrenaline rush featuring Chris Brown, Becky G, Shenseea, Musa Keys, Tayc, Dadju, YG Marley — and, yes, Victony and Odumodublvck on the fan‑favourite money‑anthem “Funds.”
Sonic super‑chief on deck
To translate those studio fireworks to the big stage Davido has enlisted multi‑award‑winning maestro Cobhams Asuquo as musical director. In a behind‑the‑scenes Instagram clip, Davido gushes: “Almost twenty arenas—it’s going to be crazy…I’m blown away.”
What fans can expect
Re‑scored hits: Asuquo is re‑orchestrating Davido’s catalogue for live brass, choir and percussion, promising “stadium‑sized Afropop with gospel power.”
Three distinct flavours: Victony’s velvet falsetto, Odumodublvck’s growling drill, and Morravey’s sugar‑rush Afropop give every set‑change a new colour.
Album‑to‑arena storytelling: Expect narrative visuals that mirror 5ive’s themes of resilience, fatherhood and global unity.
Bigger footprints: Alongside the North‑American leg, Davido has teased UK and European stadium plays—including a projected 60 000‑capacity stop at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium—plus AfroNation 2025.
