Craig David has announced that he’ll be undertaking a 2020 Arena Tour of the UK in April, in commemoration of the two decades since the release of his debut album, ‘Born To Do It’. The tour is named ‘Hold That Thought’, and is set to begin in Cardiff on 13 April 2020, and conclude on April 25 at The 02 in London. The album was released on August 14 2000, and contains some of David’s most famous singles, ‘7 Days’, ‘Walking Away’ and ‘Rendezvous’, and still maintains the record for the fastest selling debut album of all time by a British Male Solo Act.

On the upcoming tour, David said, “I can’t wait to bring my live band and TS5 shows together for this special 2020 arena tour and given that it’s 20 years since the release of ‘Born to Do It’, there will be some special surprises in there.” Tickets for the arena tour will be going on sale on September 13, with the April shows listed beneath.
