Nigerian Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, is set to perform at the Crystal Palace Bowl in London on Friday. Davido has called on U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene in the governorship election that will hold on Saturday in Osun, which has been characterised by violence and rising casualties.

The singer will headline the ‘Davido & Friends’ concert, organised as part of the Palace Bowl Presents summer festival series in the UK.

Davido announced the event earlier through his social media platforms, describing it as his first-ever festival in the United Kingdom and his only outdoor show in London this summer.

The event will feature Davido alongside several artistes, including Omah Lay, Black Sherif, Gabzy, T x C, Jazzwrld & Thukuthela, Ecool, Morravey and Boi Chase.

The official Palace Bowl Presents website lists the event for Friday, with doors scheduled to open at 3:00 p.m., and the concert expected to end by 10:30 p.m.

Davido on Wednesday shared a promotional artwork for the concert on his Instagram Story, showing a ‘SOLD OUT’ banner and expressing excitement ahead of the London performance.

Governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s relative, is seeking re-election in Osun.

“President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election. There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process. Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear,” Davido said on Tuesday in a statement.
