Afrobeats star Davido has confirmed an exclusive London showcase for his forthcoming album Oriadé.
The singer announced on X that he will perform at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on August 11. “This will be the first and only chance to hear Oriade performed live, so if you want to experience the new album before anyone else,” he wrote.
Oriadé, Davido’s sixth studio album, drops on July 31. The title, drawn from Yoruba words meaning “the crowned head,” celebrates 15 years since he entered the music industry. It arrives after the release of the lead single “I Know Who I Be.”

The intimate venue choice underscores the special nature of the night. However, fans who pre-saved the album earlier gained access to a limited pre-sale for the Kentish Town date.
Davido, often called OBO by supporters, continues to expand his global footprint with this carefully timed rollout. The London premiere gives early access to the project ahead of its worldwide release, building anticipation among his global audiences.
The August 11 show is positioned as a unique opportunity to hear the full album live in an up-close setting.
