Davido has just announced what will be his only outdoor show of the summer around these parts, with a huge London gig billed as ‘Davido & Friends’ on Friday, August 14.
He becomes the latest act to be announced as a headliner of the inaugural Palace Bowl Presents festival, which is set to run throughout the first half of August in the capital at the Crystal Palace Bowl.
It comes as Davido’s first London show since a headline gig at The O2 in 2024, and also marks his first gig in the capital since the release of his latest album, 5ive. The record dropped last year, meaning his Palace Bowl Presents could be the first time for many to hear the new tracks live.
When do tickets to see Davido go on general sale?
Tickets to see Davido & Friends at Palace Bowl Presents go on general sale this Friday, March 27 at 10am. There will also be a pre-sale taking place ahead of this the day before (Thursday, March 26) at 10am.
Who else is playing at Palace Bowl Presents in London this summer?
Davido & Friends join an increasingly stacked bill of gigs lined up at Palace Bowl Presents this summer. The series announced itself to the world by confirming the Bastille x The Wombats co-headliner, and has since announced Grace Jones, Gary Numan, Tom Jones, and Masayoshi Takanaka as fellow headliners, with a ‘Gospel Garden’ day including Kirk Franklin & more also confirmed.
