Davido Confirms Star-Studded Guest Lineup For 2026 London Festival
Davido, in an official announcement, has confirmed the guest artists who will join him at his 2026 Davido & Friends Festival at the Crystal Palace Bowl in London. Afrobeats heavyweight Davido has officially pulled back the curtain on the full guest artist lineup for his much-anticipated Davido & Friends Festival, set to take place at London’s iconic Crystal Palace Bowl. The announcement, made through official channels, puts to rest weeks of speculation and signals one of the most expansive pan-African lineups ever assembled for a single concert event in the United Kingdom.
Joining Davido on the Crystal Palace Bowl stage will be a carefully curated eight-act roster: Nigerian singer-songwriter Omah Lay, Ghanaian rap phenomenon Black Sherif, rising Afropop artist Gabzy, UK-based act TXC, duo Jazzwrld & Thukuthela, longtime Davido collaborator ECool, fast-rising star Morravey, and street-hop artist Boi Chase.
The singer made the announcement that has now shocked fans in a post on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday, March 27, 2026.
The guest lineup includes a striking mix of established names and breakthrough acts. Omah Lay, who has cemented himself as one of Nigeria’s most consistent exports, brings undeniable commercial appeal. Black Sherif, whose Drill-infused Highlife sound has captivated audiences from Accra to London, adds a distinctly Ghanaian flavour to what is otherwise a predominantly Nigerian bill. Jazzwrld & Thukuthela represent the growing continental reach of the festival, while TXC and Boi Chase nod to the thriving UK-African music scene that has long embraced Davido’s sound.
