Prior to the North American tour, Dave will embark on a major European arena tour in February and March 2026, marking his first headline tour since 2022. The 17-date run kicks off in Munich at Olympiahalle on February 2nd, continuing through Europe with dates in Paris, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Dublin. From there, he’ll continue on to the UK for a national run beginning in Glasgow at the OVO Hydro on March 4th. Further dates include Birmingham, Manchester, and four nights at the iconic O2 Arena in London. While the UK run is sold out, tickets remain available for other shows across Europe.
The Boy Who Played The Harp was released in October 2025. The record was an immediate success, with Dave celebrating the second biggest opening week for a British album in 2025, on top of becoming the first British rapper to debut three albums at #1 on the UK charts.
The album features numerous collaborators, including James Blake, who previously featured on “Both Sides of A Smile” from Dave’s sophomore album We’re All Alone In This Together. The release of We’re All Alone In This Together in July 2021 made British chart history. It broke a two year old record for the biggest first week sales across all genres, and became the biggest UK Rap record in over a decade—achieving gold status within 3 weeks of release, and quickly becoming Dave’s second Platinum album.
