The ‘Unavailable’ crooner is not slowing down! Afrobeats megastar Davido has just sent shockwaves through the music industry by announcing his first-ever curated festival in the United Kingdom. Titled the **’Davido & Friends Festival,’** the historic event is set to take over the iconic **Crystal Palace Bowl** in London on **Friday, August 14, 2026**.
## A Summer to Remember
This isn’t just another concert; it’s a full-day outdoor celebration of African music and culture. Davido, who has consistently sold out the O2 Arena, is now stepping into the role of a festival curator. While the full lineup is still under wraps, fans are already speculating which of his ‘friends’ from the global music scene will join him on stage.
‘For the first time ever, I present to you… Davido & Friends Festival,’ the singer shared on social media. He also confirmed that this will be his **only outdoor show in London this summer**, making tickets a highly coveted prize for the ’30BG’ faithful.
## Why Crystal Palace Bowl?
The choice of venue is significant. The Crystal Palace Bowl is a historic open-air venue known for its incredible acoustics and ‘Bowl’ stage. By choosing this location, Davido is following in the footsteps of music legends, further cementing his status as a global icon.
Tickets are set to go on general sale this **Friday, March 27, at 10:00 AM**. If history is any indication, they will be gone in minutes. Are you ready to party with OBO in London?
