Para Quiet Light, a dualidade é um fato da vida: “Tudo está muito mais conectado do que pensamos”.

O rapper do sul de Londres subiu ao palco principal do festival – agora conhecido como The Grid – na Little John’s Farm esta noite (29 de agosto).

Isso marcou a primeira vez que Dave comandou o evento desde 2022 e aconteceu no final de sua turnê mundial ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’, que deve concluir no Leeds Festival amanhã (August 30).

Em um set rico e musicalmente diverso, Blake foi o primeiro convidado para uma versão de “Both Sides Of A Smile”, do álbum de 2021 de Dave, “We’re All Alone In This Together”.

The extended guitar riff from The White Stripes‘ ‘Seven Nation Army’ later served as the intro to ‘Thiago Silva’.

Kano reuniu-se com Dave para uma interpretação enérgica do freestyle de 2023 “Three P’s*” e um tocante “Chapter 16”, antes que os dois artistas compartilhassem um abraço emotivo.

The rapper was joined multiple times by a string section on stage, including for a stirring performance of ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’, before Central Cee raised the tempo when he came out for their 2023 smash hit single ‘Sprinter’.

Fireworks accompanied Dave’s performances of ‘Starlight’ and ‘Raindance’ as he brought the show to a close.

Dave released his third album ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’ last October, which included appearances from Blake on ‘History’ and Kano on ‘Chapter 16’, as well as Jim Legxacy, Tems and Nicole Blakk.

The record has been nominated for this year’s Mercury Prize.

In a four-star review of the album, NME wrote: “Although the record is vivid, striking and thought-provoking – with nearly every song on this album a deep, pensive sonic sulk – the south Londoner’s voice is beginning to slip further away from a generation he intended to represent: one that’s done overthinking and just wanting to feel.”.

Dave became the youngest-ever solo artist to headline Reading in 2022, at the age of 24. That set saw him bring out AJ Tracey for ‘Thiago Silva’ and Stormzy for ‘Clash’, and NME labelled it a “history-making set” in a five-star review, adding that it was “a special one to round out an otherwise rowdy first day”.
