According to Ireporter Online, Nigerian music superstar Davido has been officially confirmed as one of the headline performers for FIFA’s 2026 World Cup Countdown Concert scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, marking yet another major global recognition for the award-winning Afrobeats icon.

The announcement was made by FIFA on Tuesday, revealing that Davido will share the stage with internationally renowned electronic music group Major Lazer, led by American DJ Diplo, at the high-profile event billed for June 10 at the Crypto.com Arena.

FIFA described the Los Angeles edition as a major cultural showcase, stating that the night will feature performances from Major Lazer and Davido in what is expected to be a fusion of music, football, and global entertainment.

The organization confirmed that the event will hold at the Crypto.com Arena, with doors scheduled to open at 5:00 p.m. PT, while the live broadcast is set to commence one hour later.
