Dave Makes History: British-Nigerian Rap Star Announces First-Ever Headline Shows in Lagos

In a moment that feels like a full-circle triumph for Afrobeats-meets-UK-rap culture, Santan Dave (born David Orobosa Michael Omoregie) has officially announced his first headline concerts in Nigeria. The two-night stand is scheduled for October 16 and 17, 2026, at the iconic Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts(formerly the National Theatre) in Lagos.

The shows mark the grand finale of his highly acclaimed The Boy Who Played the Harp world tour, supporting his 2025 chart-topping album of the same name. For fans who have followed Dave’s rise from South London bedrooms to global stages, this “homecoming” carries deep emotional weight. The artist, who has Nigerian roots, captioned the announcement simply and powerfully: “Lagos, Nigeria. First headline shows. My homecoming.”
