Dave — Live in Lagos, 2026

Published on October 30, 2026 by

Dave concert filmed in Lagos in October 2026, at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts (formerly the National Theatre), in the Iganmu district. These Lagos dates, the British-Nigerian rapper’s first headline shows in the country of his heritage, closed his world tour The Boy Who Played the Harp. A leading figure in British rap and author of acclaimed albums such as Psychodrama and We’re All Alone in This Together, Dave blends introspective flows, social storytelling and big-stage energy, in a powerful homecoming atmosphere. The concert, dotted with guests, celebrates the bridges between UK rap and Afro sounds. This live capture conveys the fervour of a won-over crowd and the emotion of an artist playing for the diaspora and the Nigerian public. This filmed live concert documents a landmark moment in Dave’s career and the growing reach of British rap in West Africa. A must-see for the strength of the lyrics and the intensity of an evening conceived as a tribute to Lagos, captured in 2026.
