JORJA SMITH ANNOUNCES BIGGEST HEADLINE SHOW YET

The star is set to headline a special gig at London’s O2 Arena to celebrate 20 years of the iconic venue.

Next summer, on 17^th July, Jorja Smith will headline London’s one and only The O2 Arena, as part of their 20^th birthday celebrations. With this being Jorja’s only arena show of the year and her first time headlining The O2, it is not a show to be missed.

Since releasing her debut album Blue Lights in 2018, Jorja has collaborated with some of the industry’s biggest names including Stormzy, Kendrick Lamar, Burna Boy and most recently Childish Gambino. When asked about the show, Jorja said: “Performing at The O2 as part of its 20th birthday celebrations is a huge honour. It’s a venue that has hosted so many incredible artists and unforgettable moments over the years, so to be part of this milestone feels really special. I’m excited to celebrate with you all.”

Not only is Jorja Smith joining the party, but previously announced acts, Maisie Peters, Shreya Goshal and Don Omar have been announced to join in on the celebrations. The birthday series will see artists of different genres and fames from rising stars to global icons make up this incredible lineup.

The O2 is one of the world’s most iconic and loved venues. With it being so much more than a music venue, as the arena also hosts leisure activities and retail shopping, The O2 really has something for everyone. Having sold more than 30 million tickets since first opening in 2007, its 20^th birthday is an impressive and long-awaited celebration.

Christian D’Acuna, Vice President, Programming at The O2, commented: “We are so pleased to welcome Jorja Smith, for what will be her only UK arena performance of 2027, to our ever-growing 20th birthday line-up. The show will be Jorja’s first-ever headline performance at the venue, making it a special moment both for us at The O2 and for her fans.”

Priority tickets for the show are exclusively available to O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers via the Priority app from 10am on Wednesday 26^th August 2026, and the general sale starts at 10am on Friday 28^th August 2026 via www.theo2.co.uk.
