5ive Alive Tour (stylised as 5IVE ALIVE TOUR) was the fifth concert tour by Nigerian-American Afrobeats artist Davido, launched in support of his fifth studio album 5ive.[1] The tour began on July 11, 2025, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, and spanned North America, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.[2][3]

The tour featured a combination of headline arena, stadium and concert performances, as well as appearances at major international music festivals. It included dedicated headline runs across North America, Europe, Africa, Nigeria and Asia, alongside a separate festival run featuring appearances at Coachella, Essence Festival, Afro Nation, AfroFuture, Flytime Fest and Vodun Days.[4][5]

The tour concluded in Conakry, Guinea, with its final performances taking place on May 8 and 9, 2026. Davido performed at Chapiteau by Issa on May 8 before concluding the tour with a public concert at the Esplanade du Palais du Peuple on May 9, both in Guinea.[6][7]

The album, released via Sony Music UK and RCA Records,[8] debuted at number one in 21 countries on Apple Music (including the UK for 8 consecutive days and Nigeria for 7 consecutive days).[9] It also had 27.69 million streams in its first week on Spotify Nigeria.[10] The 17-track project features collaborators spanning multiple continents, including Chris Brown, Victoria Monét, Becky G, Omah Lay, YG Marley, Shenseea, Odumodublvck, Musa Keys, Victony, Tayc, and Dadju.[11]
