MELANIE MARTINEZ TO BRING ‘HADES: THE SACRIFICE’ TO THE O2
Today, multi-platinum artist and creative polymath Melanie Martinez has announced that she will be bringing HADES: THE SACRIFICE to London’s The O2 on Fridy 11 September 2026, in support of HADES, her fourth studio album.
Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 9am on Wednesday 22 April and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 24 April via www.theo2.co.uk.
On the tour, Melanie shares: “When writing HADES, I knew the tour for this album had to be immersive and cinematic. Creating a new character and thinking of how she’ll be performing in this new world is so exciting. This tour is very different to anything I’ve done before and involves more practical elements and camera illusions that I’m really excited about. We’re working on making sure each song gets their moment. I hope it can bring people together under these strange dystopian times we’re living in.”
HADES debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking her fourth consecutive Top 10 debut and third consecutive Top 5 debut. The album also opened at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Alternative Albums chart and Rock & Alternative chart as well. A brooding, maximalist 18-track journey into the fractured psyche of modern life, HADES cements Martinez as one of the most daring voices of her generation. In a recent review of the record, Rolling Stone calls Melanie “a prolific visionary with no shortage of imagination…”
With 30 billion+ global streams, 5.54 billion official YouTube views and 62.2 million+ followers across platforms, Melanie Martinez has stretched, shaped, and molded alternative pop into an immersive, innovative, and inimitable world of her own design. Since emerging in 2012, the New York-born Latin-American singer, songwriter, director, and visionary has not only blurred the lines between genres, but also between reality and fantasy, beckoning audiences into the warm embrace of her singular artistry.
