The concert was one of the biggest live music events in the city’s history, with some estimates suggesting upwards of 30,000 people tried to attend, creating an electric and chaotic atmosphere.
The event marked the Ibadan stop of Davido’s Nigerian tour supporting his 2025 album 5IVE.
Fans enjoyed high-energy performances of hits like “Unavailable,” “Fall,” “With You” and more, alongside local talents such as Keanzo and Fabulous Pizzy.
Special guests like BBNaija’s Jason Jae (Jae Jae) made surprise appearances, adding to the excitement.
Supported by the Oyo State Government with extensive security and free ticket distribution, the concert ran smoothly despite large, enthusiastic crowds.
