After performing his new album in New York, London, and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Davido returned home to Lagos to give fans a much-awaited public performance.
For the first time in over a year, Davido took to the storied stage of Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos Nigeria to deliver what he promised to be ‘A Timeless Experience’.
The event which was slated to kick off at 2 PM didn’t see mass arrivals of fans until the evening period of 7 PM when music activities were expected to commence.
The influx of fans quickly overwhelmed the two mass ticketing stations which were divided between the NA MONEY ticket (20,000) and the CLASSIC and BADDEST PIT (50,000 and 100,000).
The hosts Kie Kie and Mr. Macaroni did their part in warming up the crowd and creating an interactive atmosphere between the stage and the audience.
The event had performances from Tion Wayne, S1mba, Iyanya, Odumodu Blvck, Mayorkun, Perruzi, Pheelz, Khaid, Skiibi, and more.
Notably amongst the performances were Maze X Mxtreme who delivered a breathtaking signature blend of Afrobeats and EDM. Their mixing of Pop Smoke’s ‘Dior’ with songs from Michael Jackson and Labgaja will linger in the memories of those present.
Davido assisted by The Composers also delivered a 2-hour-long breathtaking performance that’s one of the finest in the history of Afrobeats.
Davido dazzled fans who heartily sang along to his classic songs and songs from his new album. He displayed an incredible connection with the crowd in what was a symbiotic transmission of energy which radiated the atmosphere and elevated the experience and inspired a spirit of camaraderie between strangers.
Fans will not forget in a hurry the solo sax performance for ‘Jowo’ nor his performance with Asake which was a beautiful sight of two hitmakers giving the fans a rare show.
Davido’s synergy with the band, his stage presence, his passion and energy, his interaction with his fans, and the ease with which he connected with the guest artists was beautiful to watch and it gave fans a truly timeless experience. An experience that will linger in the memory.
