Ranking the Biggest Concert Moments at TBS (Davido, Wizkid, Seyi Vibez & Rema)

One thing is clear: Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) is no longer just a historic ground.

In recent years, it has quietly turned into one of the biggest stages in Nigerian music.

Only a few artists have dared to headline TBS, and when they did, it wasn’t just a concert; it was a statement to send the doubters.

This ranking is not about who sang better or who has more hit songs. It’s about IMPACT, TIMING, and CULTURAL IMPACT (what the concert represented for the culture).

1. Davido – Timeless Concert (2023)

    This one is number one, no argument.

    Davido’s Timeless concert in 2023 wasn’t just a show – it was a comeback, a flex, and a reset all in one. At a time when nobody was really looking at TBS as a major concert venue, Davido took the risk and showed everyone that it could be done — big time.

    The crowd turnout, the emotions, the guest appearances – everything screamed “OBO is back.”

    Why it ranks No. 1:

    👉He did it first in this era

    👉 He revived TBS as a concert venue

    👉 The Timeless era felt real and personal

    Davido didn’t follow a trend. He created the lane.

    2. Wizkid – GOAT Experience

      When Wizkid stepped into TBS, it felt like a global star returning home.

      This wasn’t street energy; this was premium, clean, international vibes. From the stage setup to the crowd control, everything about Wizkid’s TBS show looked like something you’d see abroad – but happening right in Lagos.

      It showed that Nigerian artists can deliver world-class experiences on local soil.

      Why it ranks No. 2:

      👉 Massive crowd and smooth execution

      👉 Global star power on a Nigerian stage

      👉 Elevated the TBS experience

      Big Wiz didn’t shout. He delivered quietly.

      3. Seyi Vibez – TBS Concert

        This one was for the streets.

        Seyi Vibez at TBS was proof that you don’t need luxury to move people. From Ikorodu to the mainland, the fans came out heavy. No gimmicks, just raw connection, pain music, and real-life lyrics.

        Seeing Seyi Vibez on that same TBS stage showed how far street music has traveled.

        Why it ranks No. 3:

        👉 Unmatched street loyalty

        Organic fanbase showed up massively

        👉Organic fanbase showed up massively

        👉 Gave TBS a different kind of energy

        This wasn’t about perfection. It was about belonging.

        4. Rema – TBS Moment

          Rema’s TBS moment felt like the future pulling up early.

          A different sound, a different crowd, a different mindset. Rema represents the Gen Z wave – bold, experimental, global, and confident. His presence at TBS demonstrated that the new generation is no longer waiting for permission.

          While his moment wasn’t as heavy as the others, the symbolism mattered.

          Why it ranks No. 4:

          👉 Youth-driven energy

          👉 Represents Afrobeats’ next phase

          👉 Shows the future is already here

          Rema didn’t try to fit in. He stood out.

          This shows that TBS didn’t host “the best artist.” It hosted different chapters of Nigerian music.

          Davido showed us it was possible

          Wizkid polished the vision

          Seyi Vibez brought the streets

          Rema represented the future

          Same ground.
          Different energies.
          One culture.
