Craig David Announces 2025 UK Arena Tour
Craig David has announced a UK tour for early next year. He’ll be supported on the Commitment tour by Lemar, see full dates below.
The 11-date tour will begin on 2 February at Leeds’ First Direct Arena and will conclude on 2 February at The O2 Arena in London.
Tickets go on sale here this Friday (3 May) at 10am BST. A number of pre-sale options are also available – for details, sign up to Craig David’s mailing list – and will be on sale from Wednesday (1 May).
“I can’t wait to bring my band back to the UK for my 2025 Commitment arena tour,” wrote David. “Looking forward to having a party and mixing up the classics and maybe something new…”
In a new interview with RIFF magazine, David explained his current musical mood, “I just feel like I’m in my R&B bag again in a way that it feels similar to the first album,” David said. “That’s been a springboard for an album that’s been in the works for a moment. The ‘commitment’ part of this is actually leading into a song. … that could well have the ‘Commitment’ title that rolls with this tour, and it all lands at the same time.
“The one part that I’ve truly learned is that your relevancy is in being able to be playful and creative and fun with all of this,” he said. “Get out of your own way and let the universe, God—whatever your belief system—just do its thing, don’t over complicate with. … I’m not trying to be like Born to Do It time, because I’m much older now and had different stories to talk about. But the playfulness, the child in me, is very much back again.”
