Rapper Dave Is Bringing ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’ Tour To Australia So Now Is The Time To Cry

If your 2026 mood board is a mix of emotional growth, cinematic rap and screaming “THIS MAN IS A POET” at your phone, then good news: Dave AKA Santan Dave is officially coming back to Australia.

The UK rapper—responsible for some of the most intricate storytelling in modern music—is heading to Australia next June for a full arena run in support of his latest album, The Boy Who Played The Harp. Hear those goosebump-inducing verses live, surrounded by thousands of other people clutching their chests at the exact same lines.

Dave doesn’t just write songs, he writes short films disguised as rap tracks. The Boy Who Played The Harp is packed with the kind of reflective lyricism he’s famous for: dense, emotional, layered, and painfully honest. Think the raw storytelling of Heart Attack, the intensity of Black, and the introspective depth that has defined his rise.

The new album leans even deeper. From the atmospheric, soul-rich collab Raindance with Tems, to sprawling narrative tracks that pull you straight into his psyche, Dave’s latest work proves he’s operating in a league of his own.

Hearing it live? That’s a whole different experience.
