One thing on every 30 BG Gang (as Davido’s fans are called) as the 23rd of April approaches is Davido’s timeless concert. The artist announced the date of the event after he released his new album titled Timeless. If you’ve already gotten your tickets, here are a few thoughts about the concert before you match towards Tafewa Balewa Square on the 23rd.
Prepare for outstanding performances.
We are checking for the times Davido has a bad show (and, well, we are still checking). Davido Adeleke is truly a performer. He is an active energetic and joyous being, and it always reflects every time he shares a tweet or appears on your screen.
After losing his son, Davido truly went AWOL for a while, leaving fans in sympathy and sadness. However, the man is back. He has released an album, held a show in London, and shot a video of one song. In summary, all his performances, releases, and shows after his return has been exceptionally magnetic. If you are a fan, this is a timeless era. You can feel it in every song, music, and shows. There is no reason to expect anything different on the 23rd of this month.
Security
Davido visited the office of the commissioner of police on the 18th of April in preparation for the event. Guess why? What fun is it without some assurance of security? Igbadun is important, as is the safety of those who come for entertainment. According to reports, the artist said he was prompted to visit the commissioner to ensure maximum security.
Expect some artists and faces you have never seen but heard before
In Davido’s new album, we listened to the sweet voices of artists like Morravey and Logos Olori. They are new acts signed to Davido’s record label, DMV. These are superstars at the beginning of their careers, and one way an Afrobeat fan can get to see their live performances is through a show like this.
Davido performed alone in his latest concert in London, but he said in his press conference that some artists would be flying down to perform in Timeless Concert Lagos. You could guess some of these names. We heard other names and unique voices like Fave, Musa Keys, and Asake, Angelique Kidjo on Timeless Album. So, attendees of the events should “expect lots of surprises,” as Davido said. So, keep your fingers uncrossed, your cameras ready, and your dance legs stretched. One thing is sure: Them go feel it. Them go run it. Them go hold it.
Scenes
The venue of Davido’s Timeless concert is Tafawa Balewa Square. It is a beautiful and historical location. It used to be a place for sporting events, particularly horse racing. It was reconstructed in 1972 by the former military head of state, Yakubu Gowon administration.
This is one of the first live concerts in Lagos of this magnitude, where a prominent artist is performing at a place like this.
Ignore the Controversy
No artist is alive or dead without one form of controversy or another. Recently, a gossip blog published some content that some readers have linked to Davido. Keep that out of your mind as you go to Davido’s Timeless concert. After the 23rd, you can come back to the gist on Twitter.
This Timeless concert is a rebirth and celebration. We are celebrating an artist who had a troubled year, an artist who had been known for being consistently joyous. He’s back. He’s invited us to celebrate with him.
