British rap superstar Dave has announced extra dates for his highly anticipated 2026 arena tour, after tickets for the initial run sold out in record time.
The South London-born artist, who recently confirmed details of his forthcoming album The Boy Who Played The Harp, will now perform additional shows at London’s O2 Arena on March 10 and 11, and Manchester’s Co-op Live on March 17.
The extended tour marks one of the biggest live undertakings of Dave’s career to date, taking him across Europe and the UK throughout February and March 2026. It all kicks off in Munich on February 2, before heading to major cities including Dublin, Glasgow, Birmingham, and London, where he will now perform four nights at The O2.

The announcement comes after fans took to social media to express frustration over how quickly tickets disappeared when they first went on sale earlier this month. Many praised Dave for listening to demand and ensuring more fans can experience his acclaimed live show.
Since breaking through with his Mercury Prize-winning debut Psychodrama in 2019, Dave has earned a reputation as one of the most lyrically gifted and socially conscious voices in British music. His follow-up, We’re All Alone in This Together (2021), topped the UK Albums Chart and included hits like “Clash” (featuring Stormzy) and “Verdansk.”
His forthcoming third album, The Boy Who Played The Harp, is rumoured to explore themes of youth, purpose, and self-discovery, a continuation of the reflective storytelling that has made Dave one of the UK’s most respected contemporary artists.
In an interview earlier this year, he teased that the record would “sound like growth,” adding, “Every album is a chapter of my life. This one’s about looking back at where I came from and where I’m heading next.”
Known for his introspective lyrics, cinematic production, and electrifying stage presence, Dave’s live performances are as emotionally charged as they are technically masterful. Fans can expect a combination of intimate storytelling and grand production, a signature of the rapper’s arena shows.
With the added dates, Dave’s 2026 tour is set to become one of the most in-demand UK music events of the decade. Tickets for the new shows are expected to sell out fast when they go on sale this Friday.
