Critically acclaimed rapper Dave has just announced a 15-date UK tour for April, with Nottingham being named as one of the places he is visiting.
After spending most of last year recording for his debut album ‘Psychodrama’, these dates mark Dave’s first UK headline tour since 2017. Tickets will be on sale at 9AM this Thursday from Dave’s site HERE.
On Thursday, February 21, he released ‘Black’, a powerful meditation on black identity, excellence and the diaspora. The first taste of new music this year, the track has already won widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike for its profound lyrics and striking visuals.
The song is his first since the release of ‘Funky Friday’ which debuted at No.1 on the Official Charts last November, making Dave only the second artist to debut a track at No.1 in the UK last year after US superstar Drake.
From becoming the youngest ever winner of an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song for his politically-charged single ‘Question Time’ to amassing over 600 million streams as a completely independent artist, Dave continues to establish himself as one of the most important young voices in Britain today.
So, make sure to get down to Rock City if you want to catch one of the best voices in UK hip hop.
