IN a remarkable achievement, Afrobeats sensation Davido has once again made history by selling out the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in London for his headline concert on January 28, 2024, as part of his Timeless Tour. This sell-out not only underscores Davido’s dominance in the music industry but also highlights the increasing global popularity of Afrobeats.
This marks Davido’s triumphant return to the iconic O2 Arena, where he initially made history in 2019 as the first solo artist from Nigeria to sell out the venue. His consistency as a live performer was further demonstrated in the 2022 We Rise By Lifting Others Tour, reinforcing his status as a consistent draw for audiences.
After this sold-out spectacle, Davido is gearing up for the 2024 Grammy Awards, where he has secured nominations for Best African Song Performance, Best Global Song Performance, and Best Global Album. These nominations come on the heels of his O2 Arena success, showcasing his significant impact on the global music scene.
Beyond his musical achievements, Davido celebrates personal triumphs, including the birth of his baby boy with partner Chioma Avril Rowland in London on July 30, 2023. This momentous occasion follows a tragic loss in 2020. The couple also solidified their union with a traditional marriage ceremony in January 2023, garnering congratulations from well-wishers around the world. Davido’s journey continues to be one of musical prowess and personal joy.
