Confirmed 2027 Concerts: Oasis | Harry Styles | Noah Kahan | Olivia Rodrigo | The BRIT Awards 2027 with Mastercard | Gracie Abrams

2026 was another enormous year for live music, now fans are looking ahead to 2027, with rumours swirling about which global superstars could be returning to the UK. After huge recent tours from Harry Styles, The Weeknd, Jay Z, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars and more, anticipation for what’s next is at an all-time high. 

Who will be headlining Glastonbury in 2027? Who will be on a must-see farewell tour? If you’re thinking far ahead like us, then here’s your ultimate guide to the confirmed and biggest rumoured tours for 2027 in the UK.  

Oasis 

Oasis’ 2025 comeback tour was one of the biggest live music events in recent memory, bringing Liam and Noel Gallagher back on stage together for the first time in 16 years. Now the reunion is officially continuing, with Oasis Live ’27 taking the band across the UK, Europe, the US and Ireland for a huge 38-date tour.

The UK leg begins with five nights at Celtic Park in Glasgow before Oasis return home for an incredible 11-show residency at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium throughout June. After dates across Europe and North America, the tour comes back to the UK in September for four landmark shows at Knebworth, more than 30 years after the band’s legendary 1996 performances at the venue. Richard Ashcroft will join Oasis as special guest throughout the tour.

Demand is expected to be enormous following the success of Live ’25, making these some of the most sought-after concerts of 2027. Fans looking to make the occasion even more memorable can register their interest in Oasis hospitality packages for 2027 with Engage.

Justin Bieber

Following his headline-grabbing performance at Coachella 2026, the “Bieber Fever” that once defined a generation has returned with a mature, artistic edge. His “stripped-back” Coachella set, which showcased hits from his 2025 surprise double-album release, Swag and Swag II, proved that Justin is back at his creative peak. After a period of focusing on his health and family, including the birth of his son Jack Blues, the global icon seems to have found a second wind. Industry insiders are already whispering that the Coachella show was merely a “soft launch” for a massive global comeback, with 2027 pinpointed as the year he officially returns to the touring circuit.

The rumours for a 2027 Justin Bieber UK tour are intensifying, with fans speculating about a multi-night residency at The O2 or a landmark run at Wembley Stadium. Having not performed a full tour in the UK since the 2022 cancellation of the Justice World Tour, the pent-up demand is unprecedented. Whether he takes a headline slot at Glastonbury 2027 or opts for his own stadium-sized production, any announcement is expected to trigger a ticket frenzy. If the record-breaking 24 million streams he clocked the day after Coachella are anything to go by, Justin’s 2027 return will be one of the most significant musical events of the decade.

Coldplay 

Coldplay’s recent stadium tours have smashed records worldwide, with immersive visuals, LED wristbands, and sustainability-led production becoming their signature. Their Wembley and Manchester concerts were among the fastest-selling shows in UK history, attracting fans from across Europe. 

At their penultimate Wembley show on September 6, Chris Martin hinted that the Music of the Spheres era is far from finished, telling the crowd the tour still has “another 138 shows to go.” The remark instantly reignited speculation that Coldplay could extend into 2027 with even more major stadium dates. Looking ahead, insiders believe the band may be preparing the final chapter of the project, a move that would naturally align with another UK run. If Coldplay do return in 2027, expect huge demand and another round of record-breaking shows.

Noah Kahan: The First Confirmed Wembley Stadium Show of 2027

Noah Kahan has become the first artist confirmed to headline Wembley Stadium in 2027, and it marks the biggest show of his career to date. The Vermont singer-songwriter will play the national stadium on Friday 23 July 2027 as part of The Last Of The Bugs World Tour, with Glasgow’s Hampden Park on 13 July and Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on 17 July completing the UK and Ireland run.

The news broke after the official Wembley Stadium, Hampden Park and Aviva Stadium accounts all posted teaser clips featuring the ladybird motif from Kahan’s album artwork, sending fans into a frenzy before the dates were confirmed hours later. It caps a remarkable rise: Kahan went from two nights at the 2,300-capacity O2 Forum Kentish Town to selling out OVO Arena Wembley, then The O2, then headlining BST Hyde Park to a crowd of 60,000. A 90,000-capacity stadium is the logical next step, and Kahan has hinted that further dates are still to come.

Harry Styles: Three Final Wembley Dates in August 2027

Harry Styles has confirmed his return to Wembley Stadium, and it comes with a twist. He will play three nights on Wednesday 25, Friday 27 and Saturday 28 August 2027, and the last of those is currently set to close the Together, Together tour for good. Tears for Fears join him as special guests across all three dates.

The run follows his 12-night Wembley residency in summer 2026, which earned a Guinness World Record for the longest stint at the stadium by a single artist. Every night sold out, so expect these three to move quickly. The London shows sit at the end of a European leg taking in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome and two nights at Croke Park in Dublin.

General sale opens at 11am on Thursday 17 September, with an American Express presale from 15 September and an artist presale on 16 September. A limited number of £20 Unpredictable Fun Tickets will also be released for UK dates. If you want a guaranteed seat with food, drinks and a private lounge rather than a race against the queue, take a look at our Harry Styles Wembley Stadium hospitality packages.

Who will headline Glastonbury Festival 2027?

Although the official Glastonbury Festival 2027 lineup is still some way off, speculation is already intensifying around who could headline the iconic Pyramid Stage when the festival returns after its traditional fallow year in 2026. One of the most talked-about names in the mix is Harry Styles, who remains a favourite among fans and industry insiders alike following his hugely successful solo career and reputation as a standout live performer. Another artist generating serious buzz is Olivia Dean, whose rapid rise and critically acclaimed performances have seen her tipped as a future Glastonbury mainstay, potentially stepping into headline territory by 2027.

There is also growing excitement around the possibility of Oasis making a historic return to Worthy Farm, with reunion rumours continuing to dominate headlines and fuel festival speculation. Meanwhile, Sam Fender is widely viewed as one of the UK’s strongest contemporary festival acts, having already delivered several landmark headline-level performances across major UK events. Global megastars are firmly part of the conversation too, with Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift both frequently linked with future Glastonbury appearances thanks to their unparalleled touring success and cross-generational appeal.

Rounding out the rumour mill are rock icons Foo Fighters, who have a long-standing relationship with Glastonbury and remain a popular choice among fans for a triumphant return to the Pyramid Stage. While none of these names are confirmed, the sheer calibre of artists being linked to Glastonbury Festival 2027 underlines just how significant the year could be, shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated editions in the festival’s history.

Taylor Swift 

Taylor Swift’s recent UK appearances have been some of the most significant moments in modern pop touring history. Her eight-night residency at Wembley Stadium set a new record for the venue, cementing her status as one of the biggest artists on the planet. With her ability to dominate charts and social platforms simultaneously, any hint of new music instantly sparks global speculation. 

Many expect that Swift’s next creative chapter may arrive before 2027, and historically, each album cycle has been closely followed by world touring. The success of the Eras Tour in London and Edinburgh makes a return almost inevitable, with some predicting expanded production or a thematic shift that could anchor a brand-new stadium run. 

Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran is already deep into one of the biggest tours of his career. The Loop Tour, in support of his eighth studio album Play, kicked off in Auckland in January 2026 and runs through to December, taking in Oceania, North America and Latin America along the way.

What it has not done yet is come home. With no UK dates on the current run, fans are hoping a European and UK leg follows in 2027, with another Wembley homecoming top of the wishlist given his record-breaking history at the stadium. Nothing has been confirmed by Ed himself, but with the Loop Tour wrapping at the end of 2026, the timing for a 2027 UK return looks very promising.

Beyoncé 

Beyoncé has consistently redefined what stadium touring looks like, with the Cowboy Carter tour raising the bar for production, choreography and visual artistry. Her ability to dominate every stage she steps onto keeps demand for her live shows incredibly high. 

Industry rumours suggest Beyoncé may be working on new music and planning a follow-up tour, making 2027 a strong possibility for a UK return. Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Cardiff’s Principality Stadium are expected to be the first venues considered. If she returns to the UK, expect a show that pushes creative boundaries yet again, potentially featuring new choreography, expanded visuals and a bold evolution of her sound. 

U2

U2 continue to tease fans with talk of new music and potential tour dates, especially after high-profile performances and interviews hinting at a renewed desire to reconnect with European audiences. Their Sphere residency in Las Vegas proved they can still innovate at the highest level. 

If they tour in 2027, the focus may be on reconnecting with European crowds, especially after hints from band members about new material. A return to traditional stadiums would give fans a more intimate contrast to their high-tech Vegas shows, while older hits may receive updated arrangements that reflect the band’s current artistic vision. Bassist Adam Clayton has suggested that a tour in 2026 or 2027 is likely, depending on the progress of their next album.

Olivia Rodrigo 

We had Olivia Rodrigo down as one of our most likely rumoured acts for 2027, and we called it. The three-time GRAMMY Award-winning superstar is bringing The Unraveled Tour to London’s O2 Arena for a UK-exclusive residency, and demand has been so fierce that the original four nights have grown into an 11-show run spanning April into early May 2027.

The dates land on 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 19 and 20 April, plus 9 and 10 May, with Grace Ives along as support. It is the natural next step for an artist who has gone from rising star to global powerhouse in just a few years, following her standout Glastonbury set and the runaway success of the GUTS world tour.

The residency backs her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, released on 12 June 2026. Lead single drop dead debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Rodrigo the first artist to send the lead single from every one of her studio albums straight to the top. Expect one of the most talked-about runs of the year, and book early if you want in.

Gracie Abrams

One of the most exciting confirmed names for 2027 is Gracie Abrams, who brings The Look At My Life Tour to the UK next spring. The GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter has lined up nine arena shows across three cities, a clear sign of just how fast her star has risen.

She plays three nights at Manchester’s Co-op Live on 22, 24 and 25 April, two nights at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 27 and 28 April, then a four-night finale at London’s O2 on 30 April and 1, 3 and 4 May. Samia and Jake Minch join as support across the European and UK leg.

The tour celebrates her third studio album, Daughter From Hell, released on 17 July 2026 and led by the single Hit The Wall. After the breakout success of The Secret of Us and her chart-topping Taylor Swift collaboration us., expect emotional, sing-every-word arena nights. These are some of the most in-demand pop tickets of the year, so move quickly.

Muse

Muse are back with their tenth album, The Wow! Signal, released on 26 June 2026, and a tour built around the band’s trademark sci-fi spectacle. Their confirmed UK arena dates land this autumn, with two nights at Manchester’s Co-op Live on 12 and 13 November and two nights at London’s O2 on 15 and 16 November 2026, before the run continues across Europe.

The reason Muse make our 2027 list is what comes next. Frontman Matt Bellamy has spoken about a much bigger plan beyond these arena shows, describing a two-to-three year campaign that scales up to a very big outdoor tour in 2027 or 2028. For a band whose live show is engineered for the biggest stages going, a 2027 UK stadium return would be a serious prospect.

Catch them in the arenas this November, then keep your eyes peeled for stadium news. Few acts do scale quite like Muse.

Dua Lipa 

Dua Lipa continues to rise as one of the UK’s most successful global artists. After dominating charts and festival stages in recent years, fans are expecting another new album cycle soon. 

If new music arrives in 2026, a major 2027 arena or stadium tour is almost certain. Venues like The O2, Co-op Live and Wembley Stadium would be natural fits. Her ability to blend choreography, visuals and crowd energy makes her tours major cultural moments. 

Final Thoughts: Who Will Dominate 2027? 

While nothing is confirmed yet, 2027 is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in live music. From iconic reunions to global megastars and potential new album cycles, the stage is set for another unforgettable year of concerts across the UK. 

As soon as dates are announced, we’ll update our full Concerts 2027 Guide, so stay tuned, and get ready to secure your hospitality packages early to avoid missing out. 

Glastonbury returns to Worthy Farm from Wednesday 23 June to Sunday 27 June 2027 after a fallow year in 2026, and the headline slots are already the most speculated-about bookings in music. Emily Eavis has confirmed all three Pyramid Stage headliners are signed, but she has not named a single one of them. Here is where the rumour mill stands, what the bookmakers make of it, and how you can be on site next summer.

Glastonbury 2027 dates and why there was no festival in 2026 

Glastonbury 2027 runs from Wednesday 23 June to Sunday 27 June at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset. The dates were confirmed by organisers in September 2025.

If the summer just gone felt a little quiet, there is a reason for that. The festival took a fallow year in 2026, the planned break that comes around roughly every five years to let the land recover and give the cows their fields back. No festival took place, no tickets were sold, and the Pyramid Stage stayed in storage.

That break matters for the line-up. Glastonbury has effectively had two booking cycles’ worth of availability to work with, and a full extra year to negotiate with artists who might otherwise have been mid-tour. Demand for a return edition is expected to be enormous, both for tickets and for the headline slots themselves.

The last edition, in 2025, was headlined by The 1975 on the Friday, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts on the Saturday, and Olivia Rodrigo on the Sunday, with Rod Stewart taking the Legends slot.

What Emily Eavis has actually confirmed

Speaking on BBC Radio 4 in August 2026, Emily Eavis confirmed that all three Pyramid Stage headliners for 2027 have been booked. She also delivered one very firm denial, ruling out Madonna in unusually direct terms despite months of speculation following the release of the singer’s new album.

Eavis has been consistent on one point for years: the vast majority of Glastonbury line-up stories that circulate before the official poster are simply wrong. She has previously put the figure at around ninety-five per cent. Treat everything below, including the betting markets, as informed guesswork rather than inside knowledge.

What we can say with confidence is that the deals are done, the acts know who they are, and the announcement is a matter of timing rather than negotiation.

Glastonbury 2027 headliner odds: the current favourites 

Bookmakers price up the Glastonbury market as “to headline any night on the Pyramid Stage”, which means three winners rather than one. That is why so many names sit at relatively short prices.

The table below shows the most recently published prices from Betfred. All odds are correct at time of writing and are shown for editorial interest only. Worth noting: this market has been suspended since Emily Eavis confirmed the headliners were booked, and prices from other bookmakers have differed significantly, with Betway having made Harry Styles and Sam Fender joint favourites earlier in the year.

Act	Odds	Implied probability
Sam Fender	2/1	33.3%
Ed Sheeran	3/1	25.0%
Taylor Swift	3/1	25.0%
Beyoncé	4/1	20.0%
Chappell Roan	4/1	20.0%
Eminem	4/1	20.0%
Fred again..	4/1	20.0%
Little Simz	4/1	20.0%
Miley Cyrus	4/1	20.0%
Oasis	4/1	20.0%
Rihanna	4/1	20.0%
Wolf Alice	9/2	18.2%
Adele	5/1	16.7%
Bruce Springsteen	5/1	16.7%
Charli XCX	5/1	16.7%
Harry Styles	5/1	16.7%

Red Hot Chili Peppers	7/1	12.5%
Muse	8/1	11.1%
Lewis Capaldi	8/1	11.1%
Spice Girls	12/1	7.7%

Odds via Betfred, correct at time of writing (3 September 2026). Markets move, and this one may not be live when you read this.

Sam Fender

The market’s favourite, and the one that makes the most obvious sense. Fender has spent the past few years building the kind of catalogue that fills a field: a Mercury Prize, multiple BRIT Awards, and a run of stadium and arena shows that proved he can hold a crowd of that size. He should also have new material by next June. If Glastonbury wants a homegrown Friday-night headliner who feels like a genuine coronation rather than a safe bet, he is the frontrunner for a reason.

Taylor Swift 

The great unfinished story. Swift was booked to headline in 2020 for the festival’s fiftieth anniversary, only for the pandemic to wipe out the edition entirely, and she has never played Worthy Farm. She remains one of the biggest touring artists on the planet and almost certainly sits near the top of any Glastonbury wish list. The question has always been scheduling rather than appetite, which is precisely why a post-fallow-year edition with extra booking runway is the strongest window she has had.

Ed Sheeran

Sheeran has headlined before, closing the festival in 2017, and he is one of a small handful of British artists who can fill the Pyramid Stage field on name alone. A return would be less of a cultural event than a first-time booking, which may count against him in a year where Glastonbury will want statement moments. The short price reflects reliability more than intrigue.

Oasis 

The romantic pick. The reunion tour reignited global interest in the band, and Worthy Farm would be a fitting stage for a group whose only previous headline set, back in 2004, is generally remembered as an underwhelming night. There is a redemption arc here that Glastonbury’s booking team would understand better than most. Whether the Gallaghers want it, and whether their own touring plans allow for it, is another matter entirely.

Harry Styles

Styles has never headlined Glastonbury, which is faintly remarkable given his profile, his Coachella headline experience, and his record-breaking Wembley Stadium residency. Bookmakers have moved him around a great deal over the past year, from odds-on with some books to a mid-range price with others. That volatility tells you more about rumour cycles than about genuine information.

The Wildcards

Beyond the front-runners sit a genuinely broad field. Little Simz and Wolf Alice both represent the kind of critically adored British booking Glastonbury has historically rewarded with a step up. Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter reflect how quickly the pop landscape has reshaped since the last festival. Fred again.. would be an unusual but not unthinkable dance-led headliner. Radiohead, Fontaines D.C., Muse and The Rolling Stones have all featured in speculation, with the Stones prompting particular attention after both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards hinted at touring again in 2027.

And then there is Madonna, who despite topping several markets over the summer has now been ruled out about as plainly as Glastonbury ever rules anything out.

The Sunday Legends slot

The Sunday teatime Legends slot is arguably the most beloved booking of the weekend and is priced separately from the main headline markets. Recent occupants include Rod Stewart in 2025, Shania Twain in 2024 and Cat Stevens in 2023.

Robbie Williams has become the name most commonly attached to the 2027 slot, helped along by his announcement of outdoor shows in the week immediately following the festival and by his own past comments about how much he would relish the booking. Elsewhere, Duran Duran have said they would only appear if offered a full headline slot rather than the Legends billing.

As ever, the Legends act is usually announced alongside the main line-up rather than ahead of it.

When will the Glastonbury 2027 line-up be announced?

Glastonbury traditionally reveals its first wave of names in the spring of the festival year. The 2025 line-up was announced in early March, and the full bill followed at the end of May. On that pattern, expect the first 2027 headliners to be confirmed around March 2027, with the complete poster arriving in late May.

That leaves several months of speculation to get through first, and it is worth remembering that headline announcements land after the main ticket sale rather than before it. Anyone buying tickets is doing so on trust.

How to be at Worthy Farm in 2027

Tickets and registration

Registration is free, mandatory and separate from buying a ticket. Everyone aged thirteen or over who wants to attend needs their own valid registration, complete with a passport-style photograph, before they can take part in the sale. Registration is open now via the official Glastonbury site, and existing registrations can be reused, although it is worth checking yours is still valid.

Demand is the obvious problem. Press estimates have put recent demand at roughly two million people chasing around 200,000 places, and a post-fallow-year edition is widely expected to be the most oversubscribed sale yet.

Glamping and premium accommodation

Camping is part of the Glastonbury tradition, but it is not for everyone, particularly if you are attending with clients or colleagues.

Engage offers Glastonbury Festival glamping packages for 2027 at The Pop-Up Hotel, the boutique site that has operated just outside the festival grounds since 2011. Guests get a proper bed rather than a sleeping bag, private or premium shared bathrooms, and a genuinely calm base within walking distance of the gates.

The site features more than 300 rooms, ranging from classic bell tents to fully furnished tenthouse suites, alongside a 170-cover restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a spa and wellness area with hot tubs and saunas, a salon, an outdoor pool and guest-only bar, on-site retail, twenty-four-hour concierge and room service, and a private helipad with private transfers available. Over 1,000 guests choose it each year, and it is widely regarded as the benchmark for Glastonbury glamping.

Places are limited and tend to be committed a long way out. Early enquiries are strongly advised for a return edition.

If Glastonbury is not the one

Worthy Farm is not the only place to see the artists on that odds list. Engage provides official music and concert hospitality across the UK and Europe, including:

• Wembley Stadium concerts, where only genuine global headliners get the call
• The O2 Arena and the Royal Albert Hall in London
• Co-op Live in Manchester, the UK’s largest indoor arena

Most client entertainment strategies are built almost entirely around sport. A Premier League fixture here, a day at the cricket there, a golf day in the summer. It works, but it’s also exactly what every one of your competitors is doing. Live music is the option most companies overlook, and it’s the one guests remember longest. A stadium show at Wembley, an arena night at The O2, or an intimate evening at the Royal Albert Hall gives you something a match can’t: an experience with no losing side, no tribal loyalties and no dependence on the result. Below, we break down why concert hospitality deserves a permanent line in your entertainment budget, how to choose the right show for your guest list, and what to get right before you book.

The problem with a sport-only entertainment strategy

Sport is the default for good reason. The calendar is predictable, the audience is broad, and the format is familiar to anyone who has ever hosted a client.

But familiarity is precisely the issue. If your key account has been to four Premier League games this season on four different suppliers’ invitations, your fifth is not an event. It’s a Tuesday. Differentiation in client entertainment isn’t about spending more. It’s about offering something the guest isn’t already being offered.

There’s a second, quieter problem. Sport asks your guests to have an allegiance. Invite a mixed group to a football match and roughly half the room is either indifferent or actively supporting the other side. Music doesn’t work like that.

What concert hospitality actually includes

Concert hospitality is a broad category, and packages differ significantly by venue and by act. Broadly, though, most experiences are built from the same components:

• Premium seating or a private box with a clear, elevated view of the stage
• Pre-show dining or a drinks reception, often with a champagne welcome
• Access to a private lounge or suite away from the main concourse
• A complimentary or hosted bar across the evening
• Dedicated entry and, at some venues, dedicated parking
• A host on the night to manage the group so you don’t have to

The practical effect is that you spend the evening talking to your guests rather than queuing with them. At stadium scale that difference is enormous. Ninety thousand people all arriving and leaving at once is a genuinely testing experience without hospitality, and a very comfortable one with it.

(Inclusions vary by venue, act and package tier, so always check the specific package detail.)

Neutral ground: nobody’s team loses

This is the single strongest argument for concerts as a client entertainment tool, and it’s the one most often missed.

A concert has no opposition. Nobody in your box is quietly hoping the other side wins. There’s no awkward moment when your guest’s team concedes in the 89th minute and the conversation dies. Everyone in the room wants the same outcome from the evening, which is a surprisingly useful thing when you’re trying to build rapport with someone you don’t know well.

It also removes a small but real risk in relationship-building: getting the invitation wrong. Inviting a lifelong Liverpool supporter to a hospitality box at a rival ground is a misstep. Inviting them to a show they’ve mentioned wanting to see is not.

It works for a mixed guest list

Most client entertainment fails at the same point: the guest list isn’t homogeneous.

You’re often hosting a group that spans a procurement lead in their fifties, a technical manager in their thirties, and a partner or spouse who has been invited along and has no professional stake in the evening at all. Sport tends to reward the enthusiasts in that group and leave everyone else politely waiting for the interval.

Music travels better across that spread:

Multi-generational groups are straightforward. Legacy acts and heritage tours in particular tend to land across a wide age range.

Partners and spouses are far easier to include. A concert is a genuinely appealing evening out rather than an obligation, which changes the tone of the whole invitation.

International clients aren’t excluded. A visiting client may have no relationship with cricket or rugby. Global touring artists need no explanation.

It works across seniority. The same evening can suit a board-level guest and a junior member of the account team, which is useful when you’re using hospitality for internal reward as well as client entertainment.

The show always delivers

Sporting hospitality carries an inherent risk you can’t price out: the event itself might be poor. A goalless draw in the rain, a Test match washed out by lunch on day two, a title race already decided by the time your fixture arrives.

A concert is a rehearsed, professionally produced performance designed to be excellent every night. The set list, the production, the lighting and the pacing are all built to deliver a peak experience. You are not gambling on form.

That reliability matters when the evening is carrying commercial weight. If you’ve invited a prospect you’ve spent eight months trying to reach, you want an event that performs regardless of circumstance.

Scarcity does the persuading for you

Major tours sell out in minutes. That’s an inconvenience for the general public and an advantage for you.

When an invitation is to something a guest has already tried and failed to get tickets for, the value of the gesture is immediately obvious, with no explanation required. It signals effort, access and thought in a way that a general-admission fixture simply doesn’t. Hospitality availability for high-demand shows also tends to persist a little longer than the general sale, which is often the only remaining route in once a tour has sold out.

Concerts fill the gaps in the sporting calendar

There’s a straightforward practical case here too. Sporting hospitality clusters around the domestic season, the summer Tests and the autumn internationals, and leaves holes in between.

Live music is close to a year-round complement:

• Stadium season runs roughly May to September, filling the summer gap when the football calendar is dormant.
• Arena season runs across autumn, winter and spring, giving you options in the quieter weeks either side of Christmas.
• Awards nights and festivals add a further set of fixed dates for the annual plan.

Used properly, concerts let you maintain contact with key accounts across twelve months rather than concentrating everything into a handful of crowded weeks.

Choosing the right show for your guests

The wildcard only works if you play it well. A few practical filters:

Start with the guest, not the act. The best invitation is one where the guest has mentioned the artist, the era or the genre unprompted. Small details from previous conversations are worth more here than any general recommendation.

Match the scale to the relationship. A stadium show is a spectacle: high energy, huge production, and brilliant for a group or a celebratory occasion. An arena or concert hall evening is more contained and better suited to conversation, which makes it stronger for one or two important guests where the point is the discussion rather than the scale.

Consider geography honestly. A London show is easy for London-based clients and a significant ask for a client in Manchester or Liverpool. Regional venues are frequently the better choice for regional accounts, and the gesture reads as more considerate.

Think about the room, not just the music. Where the private space actually sits, what the sightlines are, and how much of the evening is hosted matter as much as the headline name.

Book earlier than you think you need to. Hospitality allocations for the biggest tours are finite and go early. Registering interest before a tour is confirmed is genuinely the difference between securing the show you want and taking whatever is left.

Want to add live music to your entertainment plan?

Engage arranges official concert and music hospitality at the UK’s most iconic venues, from stadium tours to arena nights and awards ceremonies. Whether you’re hosting two guests or twenty, we’ll help you match the right show to the right guest list.

Where to host: venues at a glance

Wembley Stadium

The UK’s largest venue and a stage only genuine global headliners get to fill. If the objective is spectacle and a story your guest retells for years, this is the top of the market. Wembley hosts music alongside football, boxing and NFL, and hospitality here is a considerable step up from general admission given the sheer scale of the crowd.
Wembley hospitality

The O2 Arena

London’s flagship indoor arena in Greenwich, and one of the busiest entertainment venues in the world. The great strength of The O2 for client entertainment is its variety, with music, comedy, boxing, darts, tennis and basketball all under one roof, plus the reliability of an indoor, all-weather venue. The scale is intimate enough that conversation works.
O2 Arena concert hospitality

Royal Albert Hall

The choice when you want understatement rather than spectacle. Extraordinary acoustics, genuine architectural occasion, and a programme spanning orchestral performances, film scores in concert and one-off shows from major artists. Ideal for senior guests and for evenings where the point is the conversation.
Royal Albert Hall concerts

Final thoughts

Sport will always be the backbone of corporate hospitality, and it should be. But a strategy built exclusively on sport has predictable blind spots. It excludes the guests who don’t follow it, it depends on results you can’t control, and it puts you in a queue behind everyone else pitching the same account.

Live music covers all three gaps. It’s neutral, it’s reliable, it works for a mixed guest list, and it fills the parts of the year the sporting calendar leaves empty. That’s not a reason to replace what’s already working. It’s a reason to add the one card your competitors have left in the deck.

2026 delivered one unforgettable sporting moment after another, but 2027 is shaping up to be even bigger. It’s a year that takes in a Rugby World Cup Down Under, a full home Ashes summer, the first FIFA Women’s World Cup ever staged in South America, the Ryder Cup’s centenary edition on Irish soil, and, as always, a fortnight of grass-court drama at SW19.

Whether you’re planning a client entertainment calendar or your own once-in-a-lifetime trip, here’s everything confirmed so far for the biggest sporting events of 2027, and why you’ll want to book early.

Rugby World Cup 2027

Rugby’s showpiece heads back to Australia for the first time in 25 years, and it’s arriving bigger than ever. The Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 runs from 1 October to 13 November, expanding to 24 teams and 52 matches for the first time, spread across seven host cities: Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sydney and Townsville.

The tournament kicks off with the hosts, Australia, facing Hong Kong China at Perth Stadium on 1 October, before the action builds through pool play, a round of 16, and knockout rounds culminating in the final at Stadium Australia in Sydney on 13 November. South Africa arrive as two-time defending champions after beating New Zealand in the 2023 final, while England, France, Ireland, Argentina and hosts Australia are among the automatic qualifiers looking to dethrone them.

It’s part of what Rugby Australia has called a “golden decade” for the sport in the country, sitting alongside the British & Irish Lions tour and building towards the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2029 and Brisbane 2032 Olympics. With over 750,000 tickets already snapped up in the initial sales phase, demand for the biggest edition of the tournament in history is only going one way.

The Ashes 2027

Cricket’s oldest rivalry returns to English soil for a five-Test series running 18 June to 2 August 2027, and England will have a score to settle. After a heavy 4-1 defeat away in Australia over the 2025-26 winter, Joe Root’s side will be desperate to reclaim the urn on home turf.

The series opens at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on 18 June, before moving to Lord’s (30 June), Edgbaston (8 July), and then a landmark moment for the Utilita Bowl in Southampton, which stages its first-ever men’s Ashes Test from 21 July. The series concludes, as it always does, at The Oval from 29 July.

Cricket fans will have their hands full that fortnight regardless, since the Lord’s Test overlaps with the middle of Wimbledon, and a concurrent Women’s Ashes series gets underway at Headingley on 24 June, giving England Women a shot at ending Australia’s dominance in that rivalry too. Few sporting rivalries carry the weight and theatre of the Ashes, and a home series with a losing side eager to respond is exactly the kind of summer that sells out.

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027

Brazil makes history in 2027 as the first South American nation to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup, running 24 June to 25 July. The 32-team tournament spans eight host cities, from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Salvador, Fortaleza, Recife and Porto Alegre, with the final set for the iconic Maracanã in Rio on 25 July.

Spain arrive as defending champions after their 2023 World Cup win, but the storyline UK audiences will care most about is England. The Lionesses beat Spain on penalties to retain their European crown at Euro 2025, setting up a fascinating dynamic heading into Brazil: England as reigning European champions, Spain as reigning world champions, and a rivalry that has now decided the last two major tournament finals between the sides. A first World Cup title for England would complete a remarkable run for Sarina Wiegman’s team.

With a month of world-class football, a first-time host nation, and one of the most compelling rivalries in the women’s game still unresolved, Brazil 2027 has all the makings of the tournament’s biggest edition yet.

Ryder Cup 2027

Golf’s greatest team contest returns to Ireland for the first time since 2006 when Adare Manor in County Limerick hosts the centenary Ryder Cup, running 13 to 19 September. Four build-up days lead into three days of competition from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 September, marking the 46th edition of the match since it began in 1927.

Team Europe arrive as back-to-back champions after a dramatic 15-13 win over the USA at Bethpage Black in 2025, one of the great away performances in Ryder Cup history, and will be gunning for a third straight victory under Luke Donald. Jim Furyk’s USA side will be desperate to win on the road for the first time since 2012. Set against the backdrop of a fully renovated Tom Fazio-designed course, Adare Manor promises a level of grandeur to match the occasion, and with the first ticket window emptying in under an hour when applications opened, this is one for the diary early.

Wimbledon 2027

The Championships return to the All England Club for a fortnight of grass-court tennis from 28 June to 11 July 2027. Tradition never changes at SW19: the all-white dress code, strawberries and cream, and Centre Court’s retractable roof all remain, even as the tennis on court keeps evolving.

Jannik Sinner heads into 2027 chasing a third consecutive Wimbledon title after successfully defending his crown against Alexander Zverev in 2026, a run that has put him alongside an elite group of modern champions to retain the title back-to-back. On the women’s side, Linda Noskova will arrive as defending champion after her 2026 breakthrough win over Karolina Muchova, with the draw wide open behind her. Whatever unfolds on court, Wimbledon remains the most prestigious fortnight in tennis, and hospitality demand on Centre Court always outstrips supply.

Final Thoughts: A Bumper Year for Sport

From Perth to Rio, and Nottingham to Limerick, 2027 has genuinely global scale: a men’s Rugby World Cup on Australian soil, a home Ashes summer with England out for revenge, the first Women’s World Cup in South America, the Ryder Cup’s 100th birthday in Ireland, and Wimbledon’s timeless fortnight in SW19.

As fixtures, draws and ticket windows are confirmed, we’ll keep this guide updated, so check back regularly and get your hospitality plans in early, because if 2026 taught us anything, it’s that the biggest events sell out fast.

The wait is finally over. After four years away from the stage, Harry Styles is back, and he’s doing it in typically enormous fashion. His Together, Together world tour lands at London’s Wembley Stadium for a record-breaking 12-night residency across June and July 2026, making him the first artist ever to hold that record for most shows at Wembley in a single year. If you’re heading to one of these shows (or desperately trying to get tickets), here is absolutely everything you need to know. 

The Wembley Dates

Harry’s London residency spans the following dates:

• Saturday 4 July
• Friday 12 June
• Saturday 13 June
• Wednesday 17 June
• Friday 19 June (VIBE)
• Saturday 20 June (VIBE)
• Tuesday 23 June
• Friday 26 June
• Saturday 27 June
• Monday 29 June
• Wednesday 1 July
• Friday 3 July

These are Harry’s only UK shows in 2026, so if you want to see him on home turf, Wembley is your one and only opportunity.

Who Is Supporting Harry Styles at Wembley?

For all 12 of his Wembley nights, Harry has pulled off something of a booking coup: none other than Shania Twain will be opening the show. The country-pop icon, best known for timeless anthems like Man! I Feel Like a Woman! and That Don’t Impress Me Much, is something of a personal hero to Styles, and the two famously duetted together at Coachella in 2022.

Shania has spoken enthusiastically about the gig, calling it a bucket-list moment and describing playing Wembley Stadium at 60 as ticking off “a REALLY big one.” Expect a set packed with nostalgic classics and genuine star power before Harry even takes the stage.

Across the wider Together, Together tour, Harry has recruited a stellar roster of support acts city by city: Robyn in Amsterdam, Jamie xx in New York, and Jorja Smith in Mexico City. London, though, arguably got the biggest name of all.

What Is Harry Styles Touring?

After a four-year hiatus, Harry returned in January 2026 with new single Aperture and announced his fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., released 6 March 2026. The Together, Together tour supports that album, and the shows are expected to blend new material with fan favourites from Fine Line, Harry’s House, and his self-titled debut.

If his last tour, Love On Tour, is anything to go by, you can expect extraordinary energy, impeccable styling, a deep connection with the crowd, and a genuinely joyful atmosphere. His previous Wembley shows were described as community celebrations as much as concerts, and that spirit is sure to return.

Treat Yourself: The VIBE Hospitality Package (19th & 20th June)

For those attending on Friday, 19th or Saturday, 20th June, Engage is offering its exclusive VIBE package, the perfect way to elevate your Wembley experience from brilliant to unforgettable.

Rather than navigating concourse queues and stadium food, you’ll enjoy a premium pre-show experience with everything taken care of. VIBE is designed for fans who want to arrive in style, enjoy great food and drinks in a dedicated hospitality space, and head into the concert relaxed, well-fed, and ready to dance.

Whether you’re treating yourself, celebrating a birthday, or making it a truly special night out with friends, the VIBE package turns a great night into a night you’ll talk about for years.

What Else Is On in London During the Harry Styles Shows?

If you’re making a weekend of it around the 19th or 20th June, London in mid-June is absolutely buzzing. Here’s a flavour of what else is happening in the city:

American Express presents BST Hyde Park British Summer Time festival is back at Hyde Park across June and July, with Lewis Capaldi, Pitbull, and Garth Brooks already announced as headliners. If you’re in town for a few days, it’s easy to combine a Harry show at Wembley with a Hyde Park gig.

Pride Month & London’s LGBTQ+ Scene June is Pride Month, and London leans fully into it. Expect a vibrant atmosphere across the city, with events, parties, and celebrations throughout, from Soho to east London’s Dalston. The Harry Styles fandom and Pride energy are a natural pairing.

West End Theatre London’s West End is in full swing. Opening around the same weekend, new shows include a Stanley Tucci-directed play at the West End (opening 19 June) and a darkly funny new comedy about the lead-up to World War I (opening 20 June). Classics like Beetlejuice the Musical, Paddington the Musical, Cole Porter’s High Society at the Barbican, and the RSC’s Cyrano de Bergerac are all running across June.

Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Running from 16 June through August, the Royal Academy’s annual Summer Exhibition is the largest open art show in the world, a brilliant daytime activity before or after your concert.

Taste of London, Regent’s Park (17–22 June) If you’re around for the 19th, you’ll overlap with Taste of London in Regent’s Park, a five-day foodie festival featuring top London restaurants, artisan producers, and award-winning chefs. An ideal pre-concert afternoon activity.

Open Air Theatre, Regent’s Park Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream runs from 20 June at the Open Air Theatre, quintessentially London, and a lovely way to spend a summer evening before or after the big show.

Getting to Wembley Stadium

Wembley is well served by public transport, and on show nights the travel links are significantly enhanced. Here’s how to get there:

By Tube: Wembley Park (Metropolitan and Jubilee lines) is the closest station, a short walk from the stadium. Wembley Central (Bakerloo line and Overground) is another option.

By Train: London Marylebone to Wembley Stadium station is a direct rail option.

By Coach: National Express is running direct Wembley Express coaches from over 50 locations across the UK to the stadium’s on-site coach park, no traffic, no parking stress, and competitively priced.

Important: Wembley Stadium is a cashless venue, so make sure you have a card or contactless payment method ready for food, drinks, and merchandise.

What to Wear

This is a Harry Styles concert. There are no rules, but there are absolutely vibes. Feather boas, sequins, vintage-inspired looks, flared trousers, bold prints, and maximalist fashion are all very much at home here. Comfortable shoes are a must (you will be on your feet and dancing all night), and as it’s an outdoor stadium, bring a layer in case the evening turns cool, this is England, after all.

Bag Policy

Wembley Stadium operates a restricted bag policy. Only small bags (up to A4 size / 35cm x 40cm x 19cm) are permitted inside. Larger bags will not be admitted. Check the Wembley Stadium website for the most up-to-date details before you go.

Make It a Night to Remember with Engage

A Harry Styles concert at Wembley is already one of the most exciting live music events of 2026, but if you want to go truly VIP on the 19th or 20th June, the VIBE package from Engage Hospitality is the ultimate way to do it. Premium hospitality, great atmosphere, and a seamless experience from arrival to final encore.

Last updated: April 2026. Dates and event details subject to change, always check official sources for the latest information.

Harry Styles has officially unveiled details of his highly anticipated 2026 “Together, Together” world tour, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest concert runs of the year, with particular focus on London’s iconic Wembley Stadium. After the announcement of his fourth studio album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., Styles revealed a slate of global residency dates that span Europe, North and South America, and Australia. What’s grabbing headlines most? A staggering 12-night residency at Wembley Stadium, more than any artist in one year, set to take place this summer in London.  

Background: Harry Styles and the “Together, Together” Tour

Harry Styles first burst onto the music scene as a member of One Direction, and has become one of the biggest solo artists of the 21st century. His previous tour, Love On Tour, which supported the Harry’s House album, ran for 22 months and included headline shows across multiple continents, cementing his reputation for high-energy performances and sold-out stadium stops.  

The new Together, Together tour is in support of his *upcoming fourth solo album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., due for release on 6 March 2026. In a departure from traditional world tours, Styles has structured this run as residencies in key cities, playing multiple shows in a row at each location rather than hopping between dozens of different arenas. This includes an unprecedented 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden in New York and the massive stretch in London.  

Styles has also lined up an array of support acts across the world, from Swedish pop icon Robyn in Amsterdam to country legend Shania Twain in London, giving each leg its own flavour and drawing even more excitement from fans. 

The 12 Nights at Wembley Stadium – Dates and Details 

Performing 12 nights at Wembley Stadium isn’t just huge, it’s historic. These dates break the record for the most shows by any artist at the venue in a single year, surpassing Coldplay’s previous mark of 10. The run will be Styles’ only UK performances in 2026, meaning fans across the country will have just one shot to catch him live.  

Here are the 12 Wembley Stadium dates announced: 

Wembley Stadium | London, UK 

• June 12, 2026 
• June 13, 2026 
• June 17, 2026 
• June 19, 2026 
• June 20, 2026 
• June 23, 2026 
• June 26, 2026 
• June 27, 2026 
• June 29, 2026 
• July 1, 2026 
• July 3, 2026 
• July 4, 2026  

With capacity at Wembley often exceeding 80,000 for concerts, this run will bring hundreds of thousands of fans together over nearly a month, and likely make Wembley Stadium one of the most memorable live music hubs of the year.  

Why This Matters: Limited European Dates & Tour Strategy 

One of the most interesting elements of the Together, Together tour is how selective Harry’s European appearances are. Outside of Amsterdam (where he also performs multiple nights) and London, there are no other European stops confirmed at this stage, a stark contrast to the broad European legs that characterised many past stadium tours.  

For fans, it’s both thrilling and nerve-wracking, tickets are expected to be fiercely contested when general sales begin in late January/early February, following presales that have already seen huge interest. 

Experience VIBE at Wembley  

VIBE by Engage offers the ultimate way to experience the return of Harry Styles in premium hospitality at Wembley Stadium. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the Pitch View Lounge, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening with exceptional pre-show hospitality. A complimentary bar is available before the show and for one hour post-show, alongside a generous buffet menu served ahead of the main act. Once the final note fades, the experience continues with an after-show party in Pitch View East — the perfect way to round off a truly memorable night. 

Secure your hospitality experience for Harry Styles at Wembley before availability runs out.

Swift’s 2024 tour led to a huge 8 nights at Wembley Stadium. This eight‐night run set a new record for the most performances by a solo artist at Wembley in a single tour.

If this is anything to go by, there should be plenty of opportunity for a ticket again if she is to tour in 2026!

Justin Bieber

After years away from the spotlight, Justin Bieber’s headline set at Coachella 2026 sent shockwaves through the music world, and has fans across the UK daring to dream. The Canadian superstar delivered a show-stopping performance that reminded the world exactly why he remains one of the biggest names in pop, and speculation about a full world tour has been building ever since.

With no UK dates confirmed yet, rumours are swirling that a stadium tour could be on the horizon, and given the scale of the Coachella reaction, it’s hard to imagine Wembley not coming calling. Watch this space.

Ariana Grande

After first breaking through in the early 2010s, global pop sensation Ariana Grande has become one of the most influential artists of her generation. With countless awards, chart-topping albums and record-breaking singles, she remains a powerhouse presence in music and culture.

The Grammy-winning star has just announced ten UK dates for August 2026 at the O2 Arena, marking her first tour in seven years. Fans can expect breathtaking performances of hits like ‘Into You‘, ‘No Tears Left to Cry‘ and ‘thank u, next‘, along with surprises from her latest projects. With her unmatched vocals and iconic stage presence, the Wicked superstar return promises to be one of the live music events of the year. As Wicked Part 2, sets to hit our screens, it will be impossible to ignore the Floridan superstar.

Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi are making a sensational return! After the announcement was teased on Wednesday 22nd October at 5pm, it was confirmed the legends will make a return to Europe, including Wembley after 6 years.

Three years on from Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal cord surgery, captured in the HBO documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, the legendary rock band have confirmed a highly anticipated return to the UK as part of their Forever Tour.

The tour announcement lands alongside the release of Forever (Legendary Edition), a reimagined version of their 2024 album featuring special collaborations with Robbie Williams, Bruce Springsteen and Avril Lavigne.

BTS

Global superstars BTS are set to make their long-awaited return to London in 2026, marking one of the most anticipated live music moments of the decade. Back on European soil for the first time in years, the group’s return at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium promises a landmark series of shows celebrating their legacy, impact, and unrivalled global fanbase.

Luke Combs

Country music powerhouse Luke Combs is set to make history with not one but two huge shows at London’s Wembley Stadium on Friday, 31 July and Saturday, 1 August 2026. Bringing his signature blend of powerhouse vocals, chart-topping hits, and country charm to one of the UK’s most iconic venues, Combs promises fans an unforgettable summer weekend of live music.

Known for smash hits like Beautiful Crazy, Fast Car, Beer Never Broke My Heart, and Forever After All, the multi-award-winning star will take the stage for his biggest UK performances to date. Fresh from a record-breaking world tour, these landmark Wembley shows will showcase the energy, emotion, and anthems that have made him one of country music’s biggest global icons.

U2

U2 is reportedly planning a major tour for 2026, with speculation mounting over a potential return to Croke Park in Dublin. Although no official dates have been confirmed, the band has hinted at new music in the works and a desire to reconnect with their European audience.

Bassist Adam Clayton has suggested that a tour in 2026 or 2027 is likely, depending on the progress of their next album. Meanwhile, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. has voiced enthusiasm for a 2026 tour, hinting it could take a fresh and unexpected direction compared to previous outings.

Olivia Rodrigo 

The 22-year-old pop sensation is one of the biggest stars in the world and she recently gained even more popularity after an electrifying Pyramid Stage performance to close Glastonbury on the final night, where she dueted with The Cure’s Robert Smith. 

And while no tour is currently planned for 2026, there’s a good chance she’ll be back on the road. Rodrigo’s GUTS world tour came to a close last October and fans will be desperately hoping the ‘good 4 u’ icon announces an extension in the coming months. 

Bad Bunny

After bursting onto the scene back in 2018, rapper and singer Bad Bunny has established himself as one of the biggest stars on the planet. He was spotify’s most-streamed artist three years on the trot and he’s set to bring his Latin vibes to London next summer. 

The Puerto Rican artist will be performing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June as part of his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour. And having done collaborations with superstars such as Dua Lipa, Drake and Cardi B, he may treat his London fans to a special guest or two. 

Metallica

Another confirmed act going on tour in 2026 is iconic American heavy metal band Metallica. The legends have been rocking out since the early ‘80s and they’re set to hit the road in Europe next summer. 

They’ll be doing one night only in various places, including Glasgow and Cardiff next June. Plus, they also have ‘No Repeat’ weekends planned in Dublin in London, where they’ll be playing two entirely different sets with different opening acts across two nights. 

Lewis Capaldi

After an emotional return to Glastonbury in 2025, Lewis Capaldi has announced that he’ll headline BST Hyde Park as part of a major UK & Ireland tour in summer 2026. It’s part of his comeback after a hiatus following 2023, prompted by health challenges.

Watch out for future concerts as Lewis provides his personal storytelling on the big London stage.

Bruce Springsteen

Much like Olivia Rodrigo, Bruce Springsteen hasn’t yet confirmed his plans for 2026. However, the legendary performer has shown no signs of slowing down, having spent much of 2025 touring. 

The 75-year-old is known for his energetic, long-running gigs and he’s recently teased new music is on the horizon. So if you’re a fan of ‘the Boss’, keep your eyes peeled as you may get the chance to hear ‘Born To Run’ and a few new surprises at some point next year. 

Foo Fighters

Brace yourselves, UK and Europe, America’s ultimate rock and roll heavyweights, the Foo Fighters are set to unleash their high-octane, full-throttle performances across Europe this summer.

Dave Grohl, and the legendary members of Foo Fighters will deliver their electrifying, crowd-shaking anthems across stadiums, arenas and festivals in 10 European cities including two massive nights in Liverpool. Tickets go on-sale on Friday 14 November.

Take That

Having last toured in 2024, there have been strong rumours that Take That will be back on the road next year, with a new album reportedly in the works. Their last record, This Life, which was released in 2023, came six years after their previous one but fans aren’t expected to wait as long this time around. 

It’s now confirmed that Take That will take to major arenas including the London Stadium, the Etihad Stadium, Hampden Park and The Principality Stadium. The iconic group started back in the ‘90s alongside Robbie Williams and fans will be hoping for new music as well as the chance to hear hits including ‘Back For Good’ and ‘Relight My Fire’ in 2026. 

The Weeknd 

The Weeknd is set to return to London for five nights at Wembley Stadium from Friday 14 to Wednesday 19th August 2026 as part of his extended After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour.

These will be his only UK shows as part of the 2026 European leg of the tour, supporting his acclaimed trilogy of albums: After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025), and continue his run as the biggest R&B tour in history. The rapper Playboi Carti will join as support throughout the Europe and UK dates.

Anyone else?

The O2 have an amazing selection of gigs, including Florence + The Machine, Richard Ashcroft, The Feeling have announced a tour to celebrate their 20th anniversary, the Prodigy tour the country after their amazing Glastonbury performance, whilst fellow bands Franz Ferdinand, Gipsy Kings and Scouting For Girls all have 2026 dates scheduled. Raye also continues her tour.

Official BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard Hospitality Packages

Engage are delighted to confirm that we are once again official corporate hospitality brokers for The BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard.

2025 showcased a sensational set of BRITs performances, with Charlie xcx stealing the show, whilst Jade and Ezra Collective wowed the crowd with unforgettable moments.

There are already some huge tours and album launches announced for 2026, so keeping an eye on our big rumoured and confirmed concerts article to see who’s performing will be your best way of finding out.

For the first time ever, The BRIT Awards with Mastercard are heading north. In a landmark move, the UK’s biggest night in music will take centre stage at Manchester’s state-of-the-art Co-op Live in 2026 and 2027. After nearly fifty years in London, this iconic celebration of British music begins an exciting new era, bringing the energy, talent and spectacle of The BRITs to a brand-new home. The BRIT Awards 2026 will take place on Saturday 28th February and Engage are Official Corporate Hospitality Brokers, so book official today.

Manchester’s musical heritage runs deep, a city that has shaped generations of sound and culture. From Oasis and The Smiths to The Stone Roses, Take That, The 1975, and Aitch, its influence spans every era and genre. Home to legendary movements like Madchester, The Haçienda and Factory Records, as well as a thriving independent scene nurturing the next wave of talent, Manchester continues to set the rhythm for British music.

The arrival of The BRIT Awards marks a fitting new chapter in that story and another milestone for Co-op Live, the UK’s newest live entertainment arena, which has been wowing fans and artists alike since opening its doors in May 2024.

Our hospitality offering has got even better this year, as we can confirm a third option, the Show & Party package. So let’s take a look at what we have on offer:

Suite Package

With the hospitality packages, attendees can immerse themselves in the ultimate VIP experience, combining the thrill of live music with world-class hospitality.

We may be at the tail end of 2025 but there’s still so much to look forward to before we wave goodbye to another year. It’s already been an incredible year for music, with sold-out world tours, unmissable comebacks and iconic festivals. 

The music fun keeps on coming as we head into autumn and you can experience it all with Engage. Here’s everything that’s coming up in the next few months, as well as a look back on our favourite moments of the year so far. 

Unforgettable Oasis and Coldplay tours 

While there’s loads to look forward to in the coming months, there’s already been so much to enjoy in 2025. The biggest talking point of the year (and possibly the century!) was the long-awaited return of Oasis. 

Feuding brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher finally put their differences to one side as they embarked on a series of comeback shows 16 years after they parted ways. The iconic Britpop band have already performed across 17 dates in the UK and Ireland, including memorable gigs at Wembley Stadium and their hometown of Manchester. 

Thousands of fans missed out and they may be in luck, with whispers of headline shows at Knebworth next year to mark the 30-year anniversary of the band’s last appearance there. However, nothing has been confirmed and for now, the only way to see Oasis is at their final two Wembley shows this weekend. 

You can make the most of a premium experience in our exclusive hospitality facility, with unrivalled views of the concert, as well as pre-show food, a complimentary bar and professional service throughout the evening. 

As well as Oasis, Coldplay have also enjoyed sellout shows throughout 2025 as part of their Music of the Spheres world tour. The tour kicked off back in 2022 and Chris Martin and co. performed across a phenomenal 225 dates in 80 different countries. 

Their most recent outing came earlier this month at Wembley and was the last of 16 concerts at the national stadium. They’re expected to return with even more shows in 2027 and we’ll be the first to tell you about our exclusive hospitality offerings. 

What else is coming up this year? 

There’s so much live music on the horizon and you can experience it all with Engage, starting next week with Lady Gaga. The global superstar kicks off four nights at the O2 Arena on Monday as part of her Mayhem Ball tour. 

The ‘Poker Face’ and ‘Bad Romance’ singer is touring for the first time since 2022 and fans can expect a thoroughly entertaining evening. Lady Gaga is known for her high-energy, theatrical shows, packed with costume changes, high production and incredible vocals. 

Meanwhile, for those that prefer rap and hip-hop, why not join us for Little Simz? The British sensation and star of Top Boy is performing at the O2 for one night only on Friday 17th October – and you can watch it all from the best seats in the house. 

The O2 Arena is arguably the best venue in the UK for music, particularly during the winter months when stadiums aren’t used due to the weather. And it’s not only hosting Lady Gaga and Little Simz this year. 

We cater to fans of all types of music and you can join us for three unforgettable nights of Benson Boone at the start of November. The Tik Tok sensation has exploded over the last few years and he’s heading to London as part of a 50-date arena tour throughout North America and Europe. 

Lorde will also be performing on the O2 stage later this year, with two shows in the diary on 16th and 17th November. The New Zealand superstar released Virgin, her fourth studio album earlier this year, and you can hear it all, including top hit ‘What Was That’, from the comfort of our hospitality facility. 

As we head into December, we’ll all be fully in the Christmas spirit and you could treat a loved one to premium seats at one of our upcoming concerts. We’ve got availability for Jamiroquai on 9th and 14th December and Mumford & Sons on 10th and 11th. 

Plus, Stereophonics and Madness are also set to grace the O2 in the days leading up to Christmas. And to truly get into the festive spirit, why not take your seats for everybody’s favourite holiday film? For two nights this December, you can take in a premium experience watching Home Alone in concert at the Royal Albert Hall, which will also be the venue for two nights of Westlife at the end of October. 

Join us for a night of comedy 

It’s not just music that we offer hospitality packages for and if you fancy a luxury night watching comedy, you’re in the right place. Two of the UK’s hottest comics are performing at the O2 before the year is out and you can experience them in style. 

Next week, John Bishop returns to the stage for a headline show at the O2. Following that, the arena will also be hosting Jimmy Carr in December as part of his brand-new tour, Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny. 

So far, 2025 has treated us to some wonderful weather, scintillating action and fantastic atmospheres with Engage providing some of the best hospitality packages in venues up and down the UK!

Oasis Reunion Tour 

On the 27th August 2024, British band Oasis announced a highly anticipated reunion. Almost exactly 15 years since their split, the Gallagher brothers announced that they would be coming back together to tour the UK in 2025, with fans of the band struggling to hide their excitement. When tickets came on sale, they sold out in minutes as the public tussled with ticket-selling websites in order to see the Wonderwall singers live for the first time since 2009. 

Having announced seven dates for Wembley Stadium as well as more dates up and down the UK, Engage are offering hospitality for four of the Wembley shows.

Earlier this month, Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR announced that they would be returning to the UK and Europe this summer. It is Drake’s first UK tour since 2019 naming it ‘$ome $pecial $hows 4 UK’ in reference to his new album ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’, in partnership with fellow Canadian star PARTYNEXTDOOR. 

The album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 as Drake achieved his fourteenth chart-topper cementing his name in the conversation for the greatest rapper of all time. With shows at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, the Co-Op Live in Manchester and more shows around Europe, you certainly do not want to miss the ‘God’s Plan’ hitmaker as he embarks on an eagerly awaited series of concerts.
