As part of his The Boy Who Played The Harp Tour, the award-winning UK artist Dave will perform two arena shows in October 2026 at SunBet Arena in Pretoria on the 3rd of October and Grand Arena at GrandWest in Cape Town on the 6th October.
At just 27, Dave (born David Orobosa Omoregie) has solidified his place as one of the most important voices in modern rap, known for his introspective lyricism, cultural commentary, and genre-defining sound. His latest album, The Boy Who Played The Harp (2025), debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart — making him the first UK rapper to achieve three consecutive chart-topping albums.
The tour follows a global run across Europe, North America, and Australia, reinforcing Dave’s position as a leading figure in contemporary music. With a catalogue that includes hits like Starlight, Sprinter, and Funky Friday, his South African debut is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated live events of 2026.
Tickets for the South African dates are set to go on sale on 27 March, with pre-sale access available ahead of the general release.
