BLACK COFFEE ANNOUNCES MAJOR ‘LIVE WITH ORCHESTRA’ SHOW AT THE O2
Today, GRAMMY Award-winning DJ, producer, and global electronic music legend Black Coffee announces Live With Orchestra, a huge headline show at London’s The O2 on Friday 22 May 2026.
Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 19 November and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 21 November via www.theo2.co.uk.
The show marks Black Coffee’s biggest UK performance to date and promises an unforgettable night of genre-defining music and cutting-edge production. Known for his distinctive blend of deep house, African rhythms and soulful vocals, Black Coffee has become one of the most respected figures in global dance music, performing across five continents and over 80 countries.
This show will feature a unique live experience that combines his signature Afropolitan House sound with a full orchestra.
Black Coffee comes to The O2 after years of global success and groundbreaking performances, including the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues such as Ultra Miami, Tomorrowland and Coachella and Madison Square Garden, while maintaining a record-breaking residency at Hï Ibiza. This summer, Black Coffee took over the Thames for two headline shows within the spectacular grounds of the Old Royal Navy College in the heart of Greenwich. For the first time, contemporary dance music took centre stage at this iconic riverside location.
His 2021 album Subconsciously, featuring collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Usher, Diplo, David Guetta and RyX, earned him the GRAMMY for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Black Coffee’s influence extends far beyond the DJ booth. From his trailblazing Africa Rising live project with a 24-piece orchestra, to his philanthropic work with the Black Coffee Foundation, to collaborations with artists like Alicia Keys and Drake, he continues to push boundaries both musically and culturally while remaining deeply rooted in his South African heritage.
Fans can expect an electrifying performance as, for one night only, Black Coffee brings his signature sound to The O2, transformed by an orchestral show that will bring his music to life on a grand scale.
