It’s been almost 20 years since Craig David first burst on the music scene, and since then, he has become a RnB and garage legend with tracks like What’s Your Flava and Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta). After taking a well-deserved break, he made his eagerly awaited comeback in 2015, and is still climbing the charts today.

Rita Ora is currently one of the biggest names in pop right now. With her latest single, Girls, a collaboration with Cardi B, Bebe Rexha and Charli XCX making waves and her second album almost upon us, Ora’s popularity is set to continue to soar.

Now these two huge stars are joining forces for two joint shows at Kent Event Centre on Friday 31 August 2018 and Northamptonshire The County Ground on Saturday 1 September 2018, here’s six of our favourite tracks fans might hear at their shows.


Craig David – When The Bassline Drops
Craig David made an epic musical comeback with the release of his garage song When The Bassline Drops, which features grime MC Big Narstie. It was his first single in six years and was the lead single from Following My Intuition, his sixth album. The track peaked at No. 10 in the Official Singles Chart.
