The tour concludes with a massive UK leg, starting March 4 in Glasgow at the OVO Hydro, followed by dates in Birmingham and Manchester, and four sold-out nights at London’s iconic O2 Arena. Tickets for the European tour are already on sale, with several dates fully sold out.

About The Boy Who Played the Harp

Across its 10 tracks, The Boy Who Played the Harp showcases Dave at his most refined and ambitious. The album features a standout lineup of collaborators, including GRAMMY Award–winning artist Tems on “Raindance,” UK rap icon Kano on “Chapter 16,” rising star Jim Legxacy on “No Weapons,” and a reunion with longtime collaborator James Blake on “History & Selfish.”

A producer in his own right, Dave produces or co-produces nine of the album’s ten tracks, continuing the creative control he established with Psychodrama. Longtime fans are also treated to “My 27th Birthday,” the third installment in his fan-favorite birthday freestyle series that began with “My 19th Birthday.”

The album marks Dave’s first full-length release since 2023’s record-breaking “Sprinter” with Central Cee, which became the longest-running No. 1 rap song in UK chart history. Just days after release, The Boy Who Played the Harp debuted at No. 1 in the UK, making Dave the first British rapper to debut three albums at the top of the charts and securing one of the biggest opening weeks for a British album this year.
