Nigerian-American Afrobeats superstar Davido is set to bring his latest album, “Oriadé,” to the stage in Lagos, Nigeria for the first time with a three-night residency at the newly remodeled National Theatre from Dec. 17-19. The trio of shows are expected to highlight new material, with career-spanning hits and special guests each evening balancing out experiences.

The shows are some of the first-round entertainment moments for the mighty “Dirty December” festive period, which is a high economic traffic and creative season for the region. The announcement comes alongside a trailer [add link] for the shows and the new music video for single, “ On the Road ” which includes behind-the-scenes look at Davido’s life, including his buzzy Coachella debut earlier this year.
