Dave Sets Two Lagos Concert Dates for October Tour
British rapper Dave is bringing his “The Boy Who Played the Harp” tour to Nigeria, with two back-to-back concerts scheduled in Lagos this October. The performances are slated for Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17, marking a high-profile international stop in the West African entertainment hub.
Both events will take place at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, the landmark Surulere venue formerly designated as the National Theatre. The multi-date arrangement is designed to accommodate audience demand by offering fans two chances to attend, with both evenings featuring identical stage productions and identical presentation from the artist.
Ticketing Options and Venue Capacity
Organisers have outlined a tiered ticketing structure for the Surulere shows, ranging from standard admissions to specialized hospitality packages. Standard tickets were introduced at rates spanning from ₦30,000 to ₦175,000, depending on category and seating selection inside the historic complex.
For attendees seeking elevated viewing options, higher-tier tickets are also being offered. The Premium VIP Experience has been positioned at ₦250,000, while the top-level Theatre Box Experience commands ₦500,000. Prospective concertgoers have been advised to monitor ticket availability, as the lowest price tier of ₦30,000 sold out rapidly following its release.
The scheduling of a two-night run in Lagos reflects the growing commercial viability of staging major touring projects in key African metropolitan centres. It also highlights an ongoing push to activate prominent infrastructural landmarks, like the revamped Surulere cultural centre, for global live music events.
