Afrobeats icon Davido is off to a powerful start with his 5ive Alive North American tour, raking in over $1.6 million from just three reported shows.
The early figures, shared on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, underline the Nigerian superstar’s immense global appeal and the growing commercial strength of Afrobeats in international markets.
The tour, named after Davido’s fifth studio album 5ive, spans several major U.S. and Canadian cities between July and November 2025. According to data released by @touringdata, the first three shows generated a total of $1,613,162, with 25,600 tickets sold, an average of 8,533 tickets per show and a gross of about $537,721 per night. The average ticket price of $63 reflects the artist’s premium status and consistent demand from fans abroad.
These early returns highlight Davido’s sustained dominance on the live music scene. Only three of the eleven scheduled dates have submitted official box office figures so far, meaning the final total for the North American leg is expected to be much higher.
The tour itinerary includes major stops in cities such as Los Angeles, Houston, Toronto, Brooklyn, and Boston, with arena-scale venues like Barclays Center and State Farm Arena among the lineup. Having sold out similar venues in the past, Davido’s strong ticket sales reaffirm his status as one of Afrobeats’ most bankable performers.
After wrapping up the North American leg, Davido will return home for the Nigerian stretch of the 5ive Tour, set to run from late October through December. The highly anticipated homecoming will feature four major stadium shows, culminating in a grand finale concert in Lagos on Christmas Day.
With these early numbers, the 5ive Alive tour stands out as one of 2025’s most successful tours by an African artist, a milestone that continues to cement the legacy of Davido as a leading global ambassador of Afrobeats.
