Something to Do This December in Abuja City: Davido Lights Up Eagle Square 🎤✨

December in Abuja is about to go supernova. Africa’s ultimate hitmaker, Davido, brings his 5IVE era home with a massive outdoor show at Eagle Square — a must-do for your “Detty December” calendar. Save the date, gather the crew, and get ready for a sing-your-lungs-out night under the FCT sky. Date: Sunday, December 14 • Venue: Eagle Square, Abuja. (The Guardian Nigeria)

Why this show is unmissable

• It’s Davido in peak form. Fresh off the release of his fifth studio album 5ive, Davido’s live set is a high-octane victory lap stacked with new anthems and timeless hits. (AP News)

• Global superstar energy. He’s not just a hometown favorite — he earned three nominations at the 2024 GRAMMYs and keeps pushing Afrobeats into stadiums worldwide. (GRAMMY)

• Arena pedigree. This is the same showmanship that’s sold out London’s O2 Arena (again) during his Timeless tour run. Expect big-stage visuals and a crowd that knows every word. (X (formerly Twitter))

Abuja in December = concert city

If you needed proof Abuja is a December hotspot, look at last year: Rema’s homecoming shut down Eagle Square on Dec 15, 2024, adding serious momentum to the capital’s festive live-music scene. Abuja’s December calendar is now a staple of the Detty December circuit — a month where the continent’s biggest stars come home and the vibe doesn’t sleep. (Punch)And if you’re new to Detty December, it’s exactly what it sounds like: a festive season that’s grown into a full-on cultural homecoming, drawing huge crowds for concerts, festivals and parties across West Africa.
