One of the biggest names in British rap is coming to Glasgow.

A rapper has announced a huge UK tour days before releasing his third album.

Dave will be aiming for his third straight number one album when The Boy Who Played the Harp comes out on Friday, October 24.

It will be the latest chapter of a higely-successful career that started with the release of his debut EP Six Paths in 2016, which was lauded by rap superstar Drake.

He won an Ivor Novello Award for his 2018 song Question Time, then collected both the Mercury Prize and the Brit Award for Album of the Year for debut LP Psychodrama.

Dave last toured in support of his second album We’re All Alone in This Together in 2022 but now he’s going back on the road - and there’s good news for Scottish fans, with a date in Glasgow.
