Craig David will perform his debut album Born To Do It in full at Brighton Centre on Sunday 9 May 2027, with a live band and further songs from his catalogue.
Brighton and Birmingham are the two added UK concerts announced following his London performances earlier in 2026. Tickets for the Sussex show are already on sale, with doors at 7pm.
What is different about this Craig David concert?
The album is the centrepiece of the evening. Rather than simply selecting its biggest singles, David has announced the full Born To Do It song list, bringing the wider record back to the stage as well as the tracks that made him a household name.
The live-band format is confirmed on his official dates page. The Brighton announcement follows the response to two sold-out London shows where he performed the record with his band.
David said the experience brought back memories of the album’s original release and prompted him to take the show to more audiences. Brighton opens the announced May run before Birmingham on 10 May and dates in mainland Europe.
The album behind Fill Me In and 7 Days
Released in 2000, Born To Do It brought together the R&B and UK garage sound associated with David’s early career. Its singles include Fill Me In, 7 Days, Walking Away and Rendezvous.
Official Charts records show the album reaching number one and spending two weeks at the top. Both Fill Me In and 7 Days also reached number one on the UK singles chart.
David’s subsequent career has continued well beyond that debut. Following My Intuition became his second UK number-one album in 2016, while his official music catalogue includes the 2025 album Commitment and a 25th anniversary edition of Born To Do It.
