Craig David Welcomes Home Paralympians Ahead of UK Tour
Craig David welcomes our Paralympians home in the last chance to hear him live ahead of his forthcoming UK Commitments Tour 2025
As our GB Paralympians celebrate their incredible sporting success in Paris, UK pop/RnB icon, Craig David, promises a welcome home party jammed with Olympic-energy, as he performs live at the Welcome Home Party, broadcast on C4 on 14 September. Showcasing his anthemic new single ‘In Your Hands', this will be Craig's last live performance before he embarks on his Commitments Tour 2025 next February.
"Our Paralympians have done us proud and I'm honoured to sing their praises when we welcome them home with a live performance on C4 on September 14th. I'm also really excited about my UK Commitments arena Tour in Feb next year, when I'll be combining my TS5 and Live Band shows together on one stage with all the energy of the Olympic Games! Let's keep celebrating and I promise a live-vibe like you've never experienced before - Great Britain, let's go!"
For those of you who can't get to the live Paralympic welcome-home performance, Craig David will be hot-footing off the back of this live celebration with a x12 date UK Commitments Tour 2025 next February. Craig confirms that his tour will be the only chance to experience a fusion of TS5, alongside his live performance with a band, on one stage. Normally two separate entities, Craig David the DJ and the live performer run in parallel. The Commitments Tour 2025 will be a rare merging of the dual musical sides of Craig David - and one of the last times to catch this artist live for a while; as he heads off to the US for a mammoth Stateside tour late 2025.
We all welcome our Paralympians home with a mammoth GB celebration, and Craig David promises to deliver a homecoming performance fit for a champion. Let's celebrate!
Craig David's Paralympic welcome home performance airs from 5:30pm on C4 14/9
Craig David's Commitment Tour kicks off on 2 February 2025 in Leeds.
