Davido continues to cement his place on the global stage after being announced as one of the headline performers for FIFA's World Cup 2026 Countdown Concert.
The Nigerian superstar will take centre stage at the highly anticipated event on June 10 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, just two days before the FIFA World Cup 2026 officially gets underway.
FIFA confirmed that Davido will share top billing with internationally acclaimed music group Major Lazer, led by American DJ and producer Diplo, as part of a historic celebration marking the start of the world's biggest football tournament.
The concert is expected to be more than just a standalone performance.
FIFA revealed that it will form part of a groundbreaking synchronised broadcast connecting audiences across the tournament's three host nations; the United States, Canada and Mexico.
While Davido and Major Lazer entertain fans in Los Angeles, simultaneous performances will take place in Toronto and Mexico City.
The announcement adds another milestone to Davido's impressive international résumé and further highlights the growing influence of Afrobeats on the global entertainment scene.
His inclusion in the FIFA World Cup festivities also strengthens Nigeria's presence at the tournament's cultural events.
Davido joins fellow Nigerian stars Rema and Burna Boy, who have also been featured in activities surrounding the 2026 World Cup.
The tri-nation concert series was developed in partnership with the Grammy Awards and aims to unite fans through music, culture and football as excitement builds for the month-long tournament.
