Craig David hoping to bring a 'massive night' to fans at new Cumbrian music festival
BRITISH music icon Craig David is bringing his TS5 show to Carlisle next month - and he is promising to bring a 'massive night' to the city.
Craig shared his excitement ahead of his performance at Carlisle Weekender, which will take place at Brunton Park Stadium on June 6.
The multi-platinum selling artist, known for hits such as '7 Days', 'Fill Me In', and 'Walking Away', will headline the event with his TS5 show as part of a star-studded weekend line-up.
Speaking exclusively to News & Star about the upcoming show, Craig shared his enthusiasm for returning to the North of England.
"I'm looking forward to coming to Carlisle for the Weekender," he said. "There's always such a great energy up north, and I can't wait to bring the party to Brunton Park with my TS5 show.
'It will be a massive night with all the classics, and some fresh tunes. TS5 blends my DJ roots with live vocals – it's always a vibe, and I know the Carlisle crowd will bring that energy!"
The Carlisle Weekender is set to be one of the most significant music events in the county this year, with thousands expected to attend.
Since bursting onto the scene with his debut album, 'Born To Do It', a genre-defining record that established Craig David as one of the UK's most beloved artists, Craig has since remained at the helm of his own unique, authentically British sound.
He has helped bring garage music from the underground to the forefront of the mainstream, and become one of the most successful artists in UK chart history.
"I've been working on some cool projects and I'm really looking forward to releasing my new album 'Commitment' on August 8," he added.
'Touring and visiting different cities worldwide are among the best parts of the job. I always want to make sure it's a night people remember. TS5 is about that live connection – mixing tracks, performing, and creating an unforgettable night."
Craig David's performance at the Carlisle Weekender marks his latest stop in a busy summer, and he's determined to make it a highlight of the summer. "I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there – let's make it special," he said.
The Carlisle Weekender, which takes place on June 6 and 7 at Brunton Park Stadium, features acts such as Dizzee Rascal, Gabrielle, Gok Wan, and Sigala.
