Rapper Dave Hits Lagos For Two-Night Finale

British Rapper Dave Hits Lagos For Exclusive Two-Night Concert Grand Finale

The global concert landscape is turning its eyes to Nigeria as the award-winning British-Nigerian rapper, David Omoregie, popularly known as Dave (Santan Dave), officially kicked off his highly anticipated two-night headline concert series in Lagos.



The exclusive live events take place on Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17, 2026. The historic performances serve as the official grand finale of his critically and commercially successful global arena tour, The Boy Who Played the Harp Tour.

Venue Spotlight: Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts
The chosen venue for this historic homecoming is the newly refurbished Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts (National Theatre Nigeria), located in Surulere, Lagos.


Choosing this iconic cultural monument carries immense weight. The state-of-the-art facility provides an intimate setting of approximately 3,500 to 5,000 attendees per night. 

This creates a high-energy environment contrasting sharply with the massive sports arenas Dave filled earlier on his tour across Europe and North America. Supporting Dave on both nights is the buzzing local powerhouse Zaylevelten, injecting authentic homegrown energy into the UK rap fusion lineup.
