Whether it was ‘Funky Friday,’ “Starlight” or ‘Sprinter,’ Dave caused a sensation in his native Britain with his number one hits. His two albums also topped the UK charts in 2019 and 2021. Five years after his last headlining tour, the London rapper is now back on the road, performing in the continent's largest venues. His European arena tour in early 2026 will take him to the Olympic Hall right at the start.

Born in the London borough of Streatham, he uploaded his first improvised freestyle rap songs to YouTube as a teenager – and with up to half a million streams, they were quite successful. He gained increasing popularity through live sessions for the British radio station BBC Xtra1. In 2016, he entered the UK charts for the first time with his debut EP ‘Six Paths’, and the following year he won the award for Best Newcomer 2017 at the prestigious Music of Black Origin Awards. He scored his first big mega-hit with ‘Funky Friday’, which landed straight at number 1 in the UK charts in October 2018 with an incredible 6.7 million audio and video streams. It was a success that Dave himself had not expected. ‘I'm speechless,’ he said in his initial reaction at the time.

But ‘Funky Friday’ was only the first of many best-selling songs, with “Starlight” (2022) staying at number one for four weeks. And with ‘Sprinter’ (2023), he set a new record. With ten weeks, it was the longest-running number one rap song in the UK. Dave will present his big hits as well as the new songs from his current album ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’ to his fans on 2 February 2026 at the Olympic Hall.
