Sombr will perform at a UK arena for the first time in his career as part of a 20th anniversary celebration held by the venue. The O2 in London has hosted the likes of Morrissey and Pulp in the past, and will host Fontaines D.C. later this year. Sombr will perform at The O2 arena on June 22, 2027.
Sombr’s performance will feature support from Suki Waterhouse. The show comes as part of a wider birthday line-up of shows for the venue. Maisie Peters, Don Omar, and Jorja Smith were announced for shows between May and July 2027. Sombr’s last London show saw him headline the O2 Academy Brixton, where he brought out Joe Jonas for a performance of Cake by the Ocean. A full setlist of Sombr’s last London show can be found below.
