The chart-topping UK rapper Dave returns to North America for the first time in nearly four years, bringing his critically acclaimed catalog to fans across the continent. The tour makes a highly anticipated stop in Montreal at Place Bell on April 25, 2026, alongside major dates in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Toronto, New York, and more.
Dave’s latest album, The Boy Who Played the Harp, showcases his evolution as both a lyricist and producer. Across 10 tracks, he collaborates with an elite roster including GRAMMY Award-winning artist Tems, UK rap icon Kano, rising talent Jim Legxacy, and long-time collaborator James Blake. Demonstrating his creative control, Dave produces or co-produces 9 of the 10 tracks, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most complete artists in modern hip-hop.
The album follows a historic run of success, including the record-breaking single “Sprinter” with Central Cee, which became the longest-running #1 rap song in UK chart history. This builds on the momentum of his previous chart-topping releases, including We’re All Alone In This Together and Psychodrama, both of which solidified his place among the most influential artists of his generation.
With a reputation for powerful live performances and a catalogue filled with era-defining records, Dave’s return to Montreal is set to be one of the city’s must-see hip-hop events of 2026.
