British-Nigerian rapper Dave has announced his first-ever headline show in the National Theatre, Lagos, confirming an October 2026 date (Friday 16th and Saturday 17th) via his official X page on Tuesday. The announcement marks a significant moment for both his fanbase in Nigeria, as well as Dave personally, given his deep ties to the country.
Dave, whose real name is David Orobosa Omoregie, has Nigerian roots on his father’s side. His father was deported to Nigeria in 1998 when Dave was just four months old, a detail that has shaped much of his music and public identity over the years.
A Lagos headline show, then, will not only be a tour stop, but also a homecoming of sorts, which he directly referenced in his announcement.
