Davido Set To Light Up Ibadan As Oyo Government Supports 5ive Concert
Afrobeats superstar and Grammy-nominated singer Davido is getting ready to thrill thousands of fans as his ongoing ‘5ive Concert’ tour arrives in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State. The show is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at the historic Liberty Stadium, and excitement across the city has already reached a high point. Fans have been counting down eagerly, sharing their anticipation online and discussing plans to attend the event with friends and family.
The organisers of the concert confirmed that the Oyo State Government is fully supporting the event. This support is aimed at boosting tourism and promoting the state’s image as a growing entertainment and cultural hub in Nigeria. According to them, the government sees the creative industry as a strong tool for empowering young people, creating jobs, attracting visitors, and enhancing nightlife and business opportunities within the state.
The Liberty Stadium, one of the most iconic sporting and entertainment venues in the Southwest, is expected to host over 20,000 concertgoers from Ibadan and neighbouring states. The atmosphere in Ibadan has already taken on a festive mood, with banners, posters, and media advertisements announcing Davido’s arrival. Hotels, lounges, and transportation companies are also experiencing increased bookings as fans travel into the city for the event.
Davido is known for his energetic stage presence and his long list of global hit songs, so the concert promises to be a night of unforgettable performances. Songs like “Feel,” “Unavailable,” “Risky,” “Fall,” and “Aye” are some of the tracks fans are expecting to sing along to. Many supporters have also shared on social media that the concert feels like a major homecoming moment for the Southwest music community.
To make the night even more exciting, Davido will be performing alongside talented homegrown Ibadan artistes, including Keanzo, Fabulous Pizzy, Dele Omo Woli, and Sade Blaq. The organisers said this part of the concert is intentional because the goal is not only to entertain but also to promote rising local stars and celebrate the rich musical creativity that exists within Ibadan and the state as a whole. This creates a platform where young artists can shine and connect with a large audience.
Many fans and industry followers see the concert as a celebration of culture, music, and community. It also highlights how Ibadan is gradually becoming a centre for large-scale entertainment and live performances, rather than just being known for academic and historical landmarks. The support from the state government shows recognition of the economic and cultural value that music events can bring.
As the date approaches, the buzz continues to grow across radio stations, social media platforms, and local entertainment hangout spots. The city is preparing for a memorable night where fans can come together to dance, sing, and feel the energy of one of Africa’s greatest music stars. Many believe this event will go down as one of the biggest entertainment highlights of 2025 in Ibadan.
With preparations in full swing and fans arriving from different parts of the Southwest, Ibadan is set for a grand celebration, and Davido is ready to deliver yet another unforgettable moment in Nigerian music history.
