Update on December 2026 Concerts in The Grand Hall at Olympia
We are disappointed to announce that the concerts scheduled to take place in the Grand Hall at Olympia in December 2026 will not proceed as planned.
The shows affected are:
- Thursday 3 December – Royal Blood
- Friday 4 December – Bloc Party & Interpol
- Saturday 5 December – Interpol & Bloc Party
- Friday 11 December – Jamie T
- Saturday 12 December – Jamie T
Olympia has a long and proud history of hosting live music and live entertainment events. However, following recent planning and operational review work associated with these events and given the regulatory process and timetable involved, it is not possible to move forward with these concerts in December.
We are working closely with the promoter to finalise arrangements for each concert. Ticket holders will be contacted directly with further information and are advised to await guidance from their point of purchase.
We know this is disappointing for the ticketholders and artists who have been looking forward to the shows, and apologise for the inconvenience. We appreciate the understanding and patience of the fans and artists affected by this change.
Live music events at other Olympia venues such as the British Airways ARC will continue as planned.
