Dave Sells Out O2 Arena
British rap star Dave performed at London's O2 Arena Friday night, marking his first hometown tour show in four years. Critics noted his evolution from acclaimed rapper to multifaceted star who transcends genre and connects with diverse audiences — cementing UK hip-hop's global influence.
The high demand for Dave's London shows prompted the addition of three more dates, resulting in a four-night residency at the O2 Arena from March 6th to March 11th, 2026. The multi-night event at the 20,000-capacity venue highlights his significant drawing power in his home city. This series of concerts is part of the "The Boy Who Played the Harp Tour," Dave's first major tour since 2022. The tour supports his third studio album of the same name, which was released in late 2025. The setlist for the O2 Arena shows features a mix of new material and established hits. Fans can expect to hear tracks from "The Boy Who Played the Harp" alongside popular songs like "Thiago Silva," "Funky Friday," and "Starlight." The performance also includes collaborations with Central Cee, such as the record-breaking single "Sprinter." Dave's previous album, "We're All Alone In This Together," achieved significant commercial success, becoming a platinum-selling record with the biggest first-week sales of any UK album in two years. His collaboration with Central Cee, "Sprinter," also broke records as the longest-running #1 rap single in UK chart history.
