Fresh off the European leg of his ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’ headline tour, Dave shares the striking visual for album title track ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

 

Watch the official video here.

 

Directed by Edem Wornoo, the cinematic visual sees Dave place himself in a series of poignant moments in history, powerfully mirroring the introspective lyric “what would I do in the next generation”.

 

The striking video is the third to be lifted from Dave’s historic third album ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’ released by The Neighbourhood / Capitol Records. It follows ‘Chapter 16’ ft. Kano and his fourth UK #1 single ‘Raindance’ ft. Tems. The latter has spent over 17 weeks in the UK top 30, including two weeks at #1, reached the Top 20 in more than 15 countries and earned Dave his first Billboard Hot 100 entry.

 

Dave’s record-breaking #1 third album ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’ landed straight in at Number 1 on the Official Albums chart, becoming the first British rap act to debut three albums at Number 1 on the UK Chart, following 2019’s PSYCHODRAMA and 2021’s We’re All Alone In This Together. The album amassed a huge 74,000 UK chart sales in its first seven days, cementing it as the second biggest opening week for a British album in 2025. It was also the Biggest Selling Rap Album in a Week on Vinyl (15,561 sales) since OCC records began. The album has already been certified Gold in the UK surpassing 100,000+ sales in less than 6 weeks post release.

 

This weekend, Dave is up for three huge nominations at the 2026 BRIT Awards including ‘Mastercard Album Of The Year’, ‘Artist Of The Year’ and ‘Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act’. ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’ becomes his third consecutive album to receive a nomination for ‘Album Of The Year’ at the BRIT awards, after his debut album PSYCHODRAMA won the award back in 2020.

 

Next week, Dave will embark on the UK leg of his highly anticipated The Boy Who Played the Harp headline tour. Kicking off in Dublin on March 2, the run will see him play arenas across the UK, including four sold-out shows at the iconic O2 Arena, London. The critically acclaimed tour has already sold over 215,000 tickets and seen Dave perform arena dates across The Netherlands, France, Sweden, and more. Following the EU run Dave will tour in the U.S. hitting cities from Chicago, NY, LA, Atlanta, Philly and more.

 

The Boy Who Played the Harp is available to purchase via Dave’s website here.
