Craig David was the unexpected surprise act at this year’s Barclaycard Out of the Blue event, and he left the audience in awe during Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball.
During Capital's Jingle Bell Ball 2024, Craig David made a grand appearance as the special surprise guest for Barclaycard Out of the Blue, delivering an unforgettable performance on both evenings.
His long-time fans remember him for his early 2000s chart-toppers like "7 Days," while his younger audience loves his latest tracks, such as "Abracadabra" featuring Wes Nelson from Love Island. When he made a surprise appearance, the 16,000 fans at The O2 erupted into cheers like never before.
In 2024, Craig put out new music featuring a country-themed song called ‘In Your Hands,’ but at the Jingle Bell Ball, he focused solely on the classics.
On the second night of Capital's Jingle Bell Ball, Craig kicked off his performance with an amazing remix as a DJ. He then launched into his classic 1999 track "Re-Rewind" by the garage duo Artful Dodger.
Once the audience erupted with excitement, Craig realized that the Jingle Bell Ball was all about showcasing his top hits. Without missing a beat, he launched right into "Fill Me In" from his 2000 album, "Born To Do It."
Can you imagine a Craig David concert without the audience eagerly requesting him to sing ‘Walking Away’? Of course not! Craig was more than happy to deliver that classic. Then, he jumped ahead ten years to perform ‘Ain’t Giving Up’ from his 2016 album ‘Following My Intuition,’ which includes a collaboration with Sigala.
Since this wasn't Craig's first experience, he was well aware of the right path to take to wrap things up. Let’s say it together… “7 Days”!
Although Craig sang, "And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday, we relaxed on Sunday," he definitely wasn't relaxed when he poured his heart into his performance at The O2 arena, with 16,000 fans singing along enthusiastically.
