Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is set to return to Lagos for a three-night residency at the National Theatre, Iganmu, in December.
The singer announced “Oriadè: The Residency”, scheduled to take place from December 17 to 19, 2026, in a post shared on his social media platforms.
The event will see Davido perform at the National Theatre for three consecutive nights as he celebrates 15 years in the music industry.

TheCable reported that the album contains 13 tracks and features collaborations with artists including Black Sherif, Mayorkun, FOLA, Leon Thomas, Aya Nakamura and Llona.
