Afrobeats superstar Davido has announced a special London concert where fans will hear songs from his upcoming album, Oriadé, performed live for the first time.
The award winning singer shared the news on social media, inviting fans to join him on August 11, 2026, at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.
“London! Join me on 11th August at the O2 Forum Kentish Town for a very special show. This will be the first and only chance to hear Oriadé performed live, so if you want to experience the new album before anyone else. Tickets are on sale now. I’ll see you there!”
Meanwhile, the event, titled “A Royal Night in London,” comes just days after the release of Oriadé. As a result, fans will get an exclusive opportunity to experience the new project before any wider tour.
A New Era for Davido
Oriadé is Davido’s sixth studio album and is scheduled for release on July 31, 2026.
According to Davido, the album title combines the Yoruba words “orí,” meaning head or destiny, and “adé,” meaning crown. Together, they symbolize destiny, royalty and triumph, themes that have shaped the album’s rollout.
The project contains 13 tracks. In addition, it follows his successful 2025 album, 5ive. Earlier, Davido unveiled the official tracklist, which sparked excitement across social media. Since then, fans have shared countdown posts and reactions ahead of the album’s release.
Why #ORIADÉ Is Trending
The hashtag #ORIADÉ has continued to trend online. Not only have fans shared artwork and videos, but they have also celebrated the album’s announcement across several platforms.
Furthermore, Davido has promoted the project with royal themed visuals and the slogan, “The kingdom expands.” Consequently, the campaign has strengthened the album’s identity before its release.
The London performance adds another milestone to the campaign. According to Davido, it will be the only opportunity for fans to hear the complete album performed live before any additional concerts.
A Special Night in London
The concert will take place at the O2 Forum Kentish Town, one of London’s best known live music venues.
Unlike Davido’s arena performances, this event promises a more intimate atmosphere. Instead, the showcase will focus entirely on Oriadé, giving fans a closer connection to the music.
Finally, tickets for “A Royal Night in London” are now on sale through official ticketing platforms.
