Craig David will not be chilling in February 2025, he’ll instead be spending many of his seven days of each week performing to large crowds.

The pop icon is heading on the Comittment tour, where he’ll visit 11 UK cities, starting at First Direct Arena in Leeds on February 2, and finishing in London at the iconic O2 on February 20.

He’ll be filling it in with adoring fans, who’ll want to make sure they arrive on time to see the support act who is another legend of the genre – Lemar, who has hits If There’s Any Justice and It’s Not That Easy. Anyone who was 50-50 about buying tickets is surely convinced now.

The pair will also visit Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff, Leeds, Newcastle, Milton Keynes, Brighton, Manchester, and Bournemouth.

Craig, 42, last took his music on the UK road in 2022, so fans will be excited to see him back where he belongs – nope, not on the M2, on stage of course!

‘I can’t wait to bring my band back to the UK for my 2025 Commitment arena tour,’ teased Craig, who is also performing North America dates in May this year.

He has become a legend in his field with multiple BRIT Award and Grammy nominations, and four MOBO Awards, and three Ivor Novello Awards, and he even inspired a heart-warming British tradition.

Most recently, he collaborated with Love Island star Wes Nelson on Abracadabra, which they performed on the ITV dating show. His recent statement also suggested there could be more new music on the way. Don’t leave us hanging Craig!
