The tour follows the release of the ‘What’s Your Flava’ singer’s new album Following My Intuition – his sixth studio album. The singer-songwriter experienced his first wave of success in his teens in the early Noughties, and has spent the summer performing at festivals including Glastonbury, where he played to over 25,000 at the Sonic stage and has also attended Bestival and V Festival.

Speaking about the tour, Craig David said “I feel so lucky to be able to travel the UK 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 don’t take anything for granted and this tour honestly means the world to me.”

The new album features hit songs ‘When The Bassline Drops’ featuring Big Narstie, Blonde collaboration ‘Nothing Like This’ and ‘Ain’t Giving Up’ with Sigala.
