Described as a history-making rapper, producer, and songwriter, Dave is celebrating his flourishing career as a rapper who has made a name for himself outside of the UK.
Big Concerts announced: "Dave is bringing his critically acclaimed The Boy Who Played the Harp Tour to Pretoria and Cape Town in October, celebrating a record-breaking career that has redefined the global rap landscape. He recently made history as the first and only UK rap artist to debut three consecutive studio albums at Number 1 on the UK Albums Chart."
Although pre-sales for Mastercard and Big Concerts Fan Club members open on 26 March, until 27 March at 8:59 am, the General Sales will kick off on 27 March. They are exclusively available on Ticketmaster.

Mzansi is set on securing a ticket to what promises to be an epic night. However, some of his international fans are jealous that he chose SA to start off the African leg of the tour.
_fuego98 joked:
"Pretending to be an avid Dave listener from now to October to attract the fine men."
@Boujeena reacted:
"I hate when people say negative stuff, btw. If they didn’t think there was a solid enough market for the show, Big Concerts wouldn’t have even bothered investing in it, no?"
@Daygenius stated:
"The majority of your African streams come from Nigeria… and you can’t even honour us with a “meet and greet” talk, let alone a show or concert. It really is your own people."
@Ginmorrison47 said:
"Man, I know your team is serious about making bread because tickets are going on sale the Friday of pay week."
@ThyWrld complained:
"You’re a Nigerian, and you have a song with a Nigerian in that album, but you can’t even bring your Tour down to Lagos… make it make sense."
@ireallyhasit joked:
"See you in Cape Town, Dave, bring Sully with you."

"Oh, my days, take all my money, bro."
