Dave’s meteoric rise in the UK hip-hop scene began in 2022 when his single 'Starlight' became the longest-running No. 1 solo UK track and the first UK No. 1 in eight years to be credited to a sole writer and producer.
In 2023, his self-produced collaboration with Central Cee, 'Sprinter,' continued his chart dominance, breaking the record for the longest-running No. 1 rap song in UK chart history, spending 10 weeks in that position.
'Sprinter' also achieved considerable mainland success, reaching the top three in Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and Norway, while his collaboration with Tiakola, 'Meridian,' secured the No. 1 spot in France.
This UK tour is poised to be a pivotal moment for Dave, allowing fans to finally experience his celebrated, unparalleled artistry on the live stage.
