Davido to Headline FIFA World Cup 2026 Countdown Concert in Los Angeles
Davido is set to headline the FIFA World Cup 2026 Countdown Concert in Los Angeles, adding another major entry to his growing list of global stage appearances. The announcement places the Nigerian superstar at the centre of the FIFA World Cup 2026 performance, scheduled for June 10, alongside international acts including Major Lazer.
The concert forms part of FIFA’s broader entertainment rollout ahead of the 2026 World Cup, with live shows in Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Toronto broadcast simultaneously as one global experience. The format reflects FIFA’s shift toward a more connected, cross-border entertainment approach, where music and football now share the same global stage.
For Davido, the upcoming performance extends a relationship with FIFA that dates back to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he became the first Nigerian artist to appear on the tournament stage during the closing ceremony. That moment marked a significant milestone for Afrobeats on one of the world’s biggest sporting platforms.
Since then, the presence of Nigerian artists in FIFA-related programming has continued to grow, with Afrobeats acts increasingly featured in global football entertainment lineups. Davido’s FIFA World Cup 2026 performance further reinforces that trajectory, placing him once again in a space where music and sport intersect.
