DAVE IS BRINGING ‘THE BOY WHO PLAYED THE HARP’ TOUR TO THE O2

Acclaimed artist and songwriter Dave has today announced that he will be bringing ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’ tour to The O2 on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 March 2026, as part of his first headline tour since the release of his last album ‘We’re All Alone in This Together’ in 2021.

Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 9am on Tuesday 21 October and go on general sale at 9am on Thursday 23 October via www.theo2.co.uk.

Renowned for his razor-sharp storytelling and genre-defying approach to rap, Dave has become one of the most respected voices in contemporary music. He has dominated the rap scene, captivating audiences with his honesty, introspective lyrics, and magnetic stage presence.

The tour follows the release of ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp, Dave’s first new project since 2023. That year, his self-produced Central Cee collaboration ‘Sprinter’ broke the record for the longest-running #1 rap record in UK chart history (10 weeks) succeeding his 2022 single ‘Starlight’, which set the record for the longest-running No.1 solo UK track and marked the first UK No.1 by a sole writer and producer in eight years. ‘Sprinter’ also achieved mainland success, taking the top #3 spot in Denmark, Sweden, Holland and Norway, while collab with Tiakola ‘Meridian’ achieved #1 in France in the same year.

Dave’s tracks combine intricate lyricism, emotive narratives, and bold production. The record-breaking release of We’re All Alone In This Together in July 2021 cemented Dave as one of the most established artists of his generation, achieving the biggest first-week sales across all genres for two years (74,000+) and the biggest UK rap record in over a decade. It went gold within three weeks and quickly became his second Platinum album.
