Dave.

Dave (2026).

Me and Anita again, on last-minute tickets at a good price. Anita wouldn't call herself a rap fan, but she enjoyed this one.

I've loved Dave from the beginning. He's one of a handful of London artists, along with Kano and Little Simz, who have just raised the bar.

It was the first of four nights at the O2 on The Boy Who Played the Harp tour, his first run of shows since 2022. James Blake came out to join him. Chapter 16 was on my 2025 list.

I'm not a big fan of the O2. It's a pig to get to and from. Worth it, though.

The setlist.

All 24 songs from the night, in the order they played them. Listen: Apple Music · Spotify

Kat Slater (Freestyle), Dave Victory Lap Freestyle, 3 P's Freestyle and Street Starz Freestyle aren't on streaming, so they're missing from both.
