He's coming home! Pop star Craig David to play city gig
CRAIG David will play his home town as part of just four UK dates on his huge world tour this summer.
The Southampton-born R n B star will grace the Guildhall stage on May 21 – and tickets go on sale this morning.
From a UK garage pioneer to a mainstream multi-million seller, Craig David is so much more than your average artist.
From Ivor Novello awards to global album sales of over 13 million; two UK No.1 singles and a platinum selling No. 1 album; 3 million albums sold in the US and soldout shows across the world, Craig is one of the UK music scene’s most successful male soloists.
In addition to albums sold and awards won, Craig has helped redefine British pop music.
Years before Tinchy, Chipmunk or N-Dubz arrived on Radio 1, he brought everything from UK garage, to stripped back acoustics and electro-edged R&B to the UK charts.
His 13 top ten singles, including Fill Me In, 7 Days, Walking Away, What’s Your Flava, Hot Stuff (‘Let’s Dance’), and the incredible duet with Sting, Rise And Fall, established Craig as an indisputable commercial success.
Last year, MTV viewers voted Craig’s Born To Do It the second Greatest Album Ever in MTV history, just behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Every world tour ticket buyer will receive a link to download a free exclusive new track.

It's great to have Craig back! We should all support our Southampton great Talents to you all that have commented. Perhaps you should listen to some of his music.
