Nigeria’s afrobeats heavyweight, David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has been confirmed as a headline act for the official kick-off concert of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The star-studded concert will set the tone for the continental showpiece, with Davido sharing the stage with international acts including French Montana, Douaa Lahyaoui, Says’z and Lartiste.
The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday at the Olm Souissi Fan Zone in Rabat, with entry reserved for fans in possession of valid Fan IDs and match tickets.
Davido is no stranger to performing on major sporting platforms. Over the years, the 33-year-old has entertained global audiences at several high-profile events, including the opening ceremony of the 2017 AFCON, the 2022 FIFA World Cup draw in Doha, and the 2023 Professional Footballers’ Association Awards.
He also lit up the opening ceremony of the 2024 National Sports Festival hosted by Ogun State.
The 2025 AFCON tournament will officially get underway on Sunday, with host nation Morocco facing Comoros in the opening match at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah in Rabat.
