Breaking: Davido cancels Tottenham stadium show, gives reasons

Afrobeats superstar Davido has officially cancelled his July 3 concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, citing persistent issues with event planning and execution.

The show, which was expected to be one of the biggest Afrobeats concerts in the UK this year, was organised by The Necto Future Group, promoters of @iconicpresents.

In a statement shared on his Instagram Story on Saturday, Davido explained that the decision was made due to “major misalignments” with the organisers, despite strong ticket sales and massive fan support.

“Over the past few weeks, I have extended my full support and professionalism… with the sincere intention of delivering a performance that meets the high standards my fans deserve,” the singer said.

Davido stressed that the decision was not taken lightly, and it reflects his commitment to quality and integrity in performance. He noted that while the event may still go on, he will not be performing.

“This decision is not a reflection of turnout or support; it is a matter of principle and respect for my craft, my fans, and the culture I represent,” he added.

The Nigerian megastar reassured fans that his summer tour will continue as scheduled, with shows lined up in Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, and the United States.

“London, I’ll see you guys soon, I promise! The rest of the shows this summer are still happening. 5ive is still alive! Africa must be respected,” Davido concluded.
