Dave Sets Stage for Global Takeover with Announcement of 2026 North American Tour and Australian Arena Dates for “The Boy Who Played the Harp”
British rap prodigy Dave is gearing up for a massive global run, announcing not just his long-anticipated Australian arena dates but also a sprawling 2026 North American tour in support of his acclaimed new album, The Boy Who Played the Harp.
Fresh off the October release of the deeply conceptual project, a body of work weaving together Biblical imagery, social commentary, and personal introspection, Dave is preparing to take his storytelling to stages across the world.
The album’s lush blend of UK hip hop, indie soul, electronic influences, Afrobeats textures, and live instrumentation has already positioned it as one of the year’s standout sonic experiences.
Add features from James Blake, Jim Legxacy, Tems, Kano, and Nicole Blakk, and it’s easy to see why fans are eager to witness it live.
Dave’s North American tour kicks off on March 27 in Vancouver, opening a month-long stretch that will see him travel across major cities before closing out with two grand finale nights at Brooklyn Paramount on April 30 and May 1, 2026.
Tickets are rolling out in phases:
- Artist pre-sale: Tuesday, December 9, at 9 a.m. (local time) to Thursday, December 11, at 9 a.m.
- Venue pre-sale: Thursday, December 11, at 10 a.m. to Friday, December 12, at 9 a.m.
- Spotify pre-sale: December 11 at 1 p.m. to December 12 at 9 a.m.
- General sale: Friday, December 12, at 10 a.m.
Before touching down in North America, Dave will embark on a major European arena tour throughout February and March 2026, marking his first official headlining circuit since 2022.
With an Australian leg also locked in for mid-year, 2026 is shaping up to be Dave’s biggest touring year yet, a global rollout befitting an artist whose music continues to expand in ambition, depth, and reach.
