Craig David... has become one of the most talked about returns to music by an artist in decades, after announcing a tour taking in the MetroRadio Arena, Newcastle, on Wednesday, March 29. He's sold more than 15 million albums, achieving 16 Top Ten hits and multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries, taking over festival stages around the world, sold out headline tours in seconds and secured a residency at the iconic Ibiza Rocks Hotel.

His new album, Following My Intuition, is out on September 30. David says: “I’m beyond excited to announce this tour. It’s been 15 years since I did an arena tour here in the UK and I want to enjoy every single second this time around. I don’t take anything for granted and this tour honestly means the world to me. I feel so lucky to be able to travel and perform tracks off my new album as well as some of my classics and to invite everyone to enjoy the TS5 experience too. I have no words for how amazing this year has been for me and I want to thank you all for the incredible love and support you have shown me. I can’t wait to see you.”

Demand for his live shows are higher than ever following the success of his critically-acclaimed TS5 shows. Starting out as the most exclusive pre-party in Miami, hosted in his penthouse home, Tower Suite 5 has gone on to become the must-see live event of the summer with David playing sets at the biggest festivals and clubs around the world. Having previously sold-out London’s KOKO, Brixton Academy and the Manchester Academy, he also took over Glastonbury’s Sonic Stage, bringing more than 25,000 people to the tent. Singer-songwriter Lauren Faith, 21, joins David on tour.
