Craig David’s TS5 Tour

Y2K-era UK garage legend Craig David is set to play in Shanghai in February. David's name is synonymous with the rise of UK garage at the turn of the century, after he headed straight to number two in the UK charts with the Artful Dodger on 'Re-Rewind' back in 1999, and he followed it up with a string of successful solo hits, including 'Fill Me In', 'Walking Away' and '7 Days'. Fast-fast-forward to 2018 and he's transformed himself from a skinny R&B singer based in Southampton, to a muscle-bound, Miami-based DJ spinning at some of the city's most exclusive pre-parties.
