Book ticketsThe meteoric rise of the multi-award-winning musician Dave has been characterised by a series of boundary-breaking moments in his career. From becoming the youngest recipient of an Ivor Novello award in 2017, to earning the first No.1 by a sole writer and producer in 8 years in 2022 with ‘Starlight.’ Dave has continuously redefined what it means to be both a British rapper and a contemporary musician today.
The record-breaking release of We’re All Alone In This Together (July 2021), established Dave as one of the most exciting artists of our time. At the time of release, it became the biggest first week UK sales across all genres for 2 years (74,000+) and the biggest UK Rap record in over a decade. Surpassing all his peers, it spent 2 weeks at #1, a feat only matched by Olivia Rodrigo & Drake that calendar year, achieving Gold Status (100,000 sales) within 3 weeks and now his second Platinum album (483,137 UK albums sold). The title, taken from a conversation between himself & Hans Zimmer, encapsulating the themes of migration & heritage alongside his mother’s own story. With star-turns from Wizkid, Snoh Aalegra, BOJ & Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya, the album shot to #1 with first single ‘Clash’, a Stormzy-featuring behemoth peaking at #2 and becoming one of the anthems to a lockdown-lifted Summer.
With this peerless trajectory, The Boy Who Played the Harp marks a new chapter for the hitmaker, while continuing to redefine contemporary music and reaffirming that Dave is always in a league of his own.
