Davido has announced a three-night residency at Lagos’ National Theatre this December, titled “Oriade: The Residency.”
The shows are scheduled for December 17, 18 and 19, 2026, marking three consecutive nights for the singer at the venue. The announcement describes Davido as the first Afrobeats artist to hold a residency at the National Theatre.
The residency will form part of Davido’s Detty December activities in Lagos, bringing his live show to the venue formerly known as the National Theatre and now officially named the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts. The venue is located in Iganmu, Lagos.
The announcement follows the return of major music performances to the renovated venue. In December 2025, Adekunle Gold became the first artist to headline a concert there after its renovation, performing on December 26 with the MUSON Orchestra and his band, The 79th Element. The sold-out show was also the first major concert at the reopened venue.
Davido’s three-night run will take place from December 17 to 19, with tickets available for the individual dates.
