DAVE NOMINATED FOR FOUR BRIT AWARDSOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Satellite 414 Dave has been nominated for a raft of accolades at next year’s BRIT Awards, off of the back of the huge critical and commercial success of his second album We’re All Alone In This Together. Dave is up for: Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Best Hip-Hop/Grime/Rap Act, and Song of the Year (for ‘Clash’ featuring Stormzy). Spending two weeks at number one (the only other Brit to exceed this feat being Adele), We're All Alone in This Together was the biggest selling rap album in over a decade and the best selling album of Q3 of this year, spending 11 weeks in the top 10. It’s also been a hit amongst critics, landing on multiple albums of the year for 2021; the NME called it “a stunning album that lives up to its predecessor” and Clash echoed this sentiment calling it “a wonderful, inspired experience.” Across his debut album, 2018’s lauded Psychodrama, and WAAIT, Dave now boasts 3 billion streams and 1 million album sales worldwide. 2021 also saw Dave’s triumphant return to the stage. He headlined Parklife Festival to a crowd of over 85,000, experience that is certain to prepare him for a blockbuster 2022. Dave will be the youngest ever solo headliner at Reading & Leeds and his upcoming world tour has sold an incredible 200,000 tickets so far - full list of dates below.
