Craig David, the celebrated R&B and UK Garage artist, will be making a highly anticipated return to Malaysia with his one-night-only concert “Craig David Presents TS5: Live in Kuala Lumpur” happening on 10 November 2025 at Mega Star Arena. This performance marks his first appearance in the country in over ten years, promising to excite long-time followers who have supported him since the early 2000s.
His visit comes just days after the release of his ninth studio album, Commitment, set to launch on 8 August 2025. The album, regarded as his most intimate project to date, delves into themes of loyalty and artistic growth, featuring collaborations with Tiwa Savage, JoJo and Louisa Johnson, and combining the classic sound of Born To Do It with modern, fresh influences.
The concert will bring to life his well-known TS5 concept, an electrifying mix of live singing and DJ performance that has captivated audiences worldwide since it began in 2012. Originally streamed as a home radio set from his Miami apartment, TS5 has since headlined in cities like Ibiza, Dubai, London and Tokyo, and will now be experienced live in Malaysia for the first time. Attendees can expect an evening filled with energy and nostalgia as he performs favourites such as Fill Me In, 7 Days, Walking Away, What’s Your Flava and When The Bassline Drops.
Craig David first rose to fame with his feature on Artful Dodger’s Re Rewind before achieving solo success with Fill Me In, making him the youngest male solo artist to reach number one in the UK charts. His debut album Born To Do It, released in 2000, sold over seven million copies worldwide and was recognised by MTV and The Guardian as one of the best albums of all time. Over the years, he has sold more than 13 million albums and received numerous awards, including three Ivor Novello Awards, two MTV Europe Music Awards and 14 BRIT Award nominations. In 2021, he was also awarded an MBE by the late Queen Elizabeth II for his contributions to music and charity.
Ticket sales for “Craig David Presents TS5: Live in Kuala Lumpur” will be announced soon, with organisers urging fans to watch for updates to secure their place at one of the year’s most awaited music events.
