On April 17, 2024, Nigerian sensation Davido will perform at Madison Square Garden for the first time. This historic occasion represents a watershed moment for both Davido and the genre, cementing his global presence and laying the way for future generations of African artists.
Davido has progressively grown his global fan base, enthralling audiences with his contagious energy, powerful stage presence, and chart-topping tunes like “Fall” and “If.” His music has crossed cultural barriers, and his impact on the global music landscape cannot be overstated.
