Davido has officially unveiled the lineup of guest artists who will perform alongside him at the 2026 Davido & Friends Festival, slated for the Crystal Palace Bowl in London. The Afrobeats superstar disclosed the full guest list for this eagerly awaited festival via his official channels, putting an end to weeks of anticipation and hinting at one of the most extensive pan-African lineups ever gathered for a concert in the United Kingdom.
Set to join Davido on stage will be a carefully selected roster of eight performers: Nigerian singer-songwriter Omah Lay, Ghanaian rap star Black Sherif, emerging Afropop sensation Gabzy, UK-based ensemble TXC, the duo Jazzwrld & Thukuthela, longtime collaborator ECool, rising star Morravey, and street-hop artist Boi Chase.
The announcement, made on March 27, 2026, via a post on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has generated widespread excitement among fans.
The lineup is a compelling mix of well-known artists and promising newcomers. Omah Lay, renowned for his consistency and commercial success as one of Nigeria's music exports, adds significant appeal. Meanwhile, Black Sherif contributes a unique Ghanaian influence with his Drill-infused Highlife sound, engaging audiences from Ghana to the UK. The acts Jazzwrld & Thukuthela celebrate the festival's growing pan-African reach, while TXC and Boi Chase represent the vibrant UK-African music scene that has embraced Davido's musical style.
In summary, Davido's announcement reaffirms the impressive lineup for his 2026 festival at London’s Crystal Palace Bowl, concluding speculation and heralding one of the largest amalgamations of African music talent for a single concert in the UK. The eight-act roster, including names like Omah Lay and Black Sherif, continues to underscore the rich diversity of the event as both established and emerging talents come together.
