Craig David

Global R&B and UK Garage icon Craig David returns to Italy for an exclusive event: on August 2, 2026, the British artist will take the stage at Villa Manin in Codroipo (Udine) with his famous TS5 format, marking his only Italian date of the summer.

As one of the most influential singers, songwriters, producers, and performers of the last twenty-five years, Craig David continues to reinvent himself without ever losing touch with the authentic sound that made him one of the most beloved figures in contemporary British music. With over 5 billion global streams, 25 UK Top 40 singles, and a career packed with international collaborations, Craig David is a living legend capable of uniting different generations through music, club culture, and live performance.

The Villa Manin event will finally bring the TS5 format to Italy—a party-show that became an international phenomenon, born from private after-parties Craig hosted in his Tower Suite 5 penthouse in Miami. Moving from a simple house party among friends, TS5 has transformed over the years into one of the most in-demand shows in the world: a live experience that blends DJ sets, MCing, and live vocal performances, shifting seamlessly through UK Garage, R&B, house, bashment, Afrobeats, and contemporary pop.

On stage, Craig David alternates between mixing behind the decks and performing his greatest hits live, creating a seamless, immersive show that has conquered Ibiza, London, Dubai, Australia, and major international festivals. This one-of-a-kind format perfectly embodies Craig’s artistic evolution: spontaneous, energetic, and deeply connected with the crowd.

His arrival at Villa Manin also coincides with a particularly significant artistic milestone for Craig David, marked by the release of his new album, “Commitment”—the artist’s ninth studio album. The record marks a return to the emotional and musical roots that defined the legendary “Born To Do It”, blending R&B, UK Garage, house, and Afrowave influences into a modern and sophisticated production.

The Italian TS5 date is part of a European summer tour that will see Craig David headline the continent’s major live events. The monumental setting of Villa Manin—one of Italy’s most iconic live music venues—will thus host a night that promises to be one of the most highly anticipated international events of Summer 2026.
