NE-YO & AKON TO BRING ‘NIGHTS LIKE THIS’ TOUR TO THE O2
GRAMMY award-winning hitmaker NE-YO and GRAMMY award-winning multi-platinum recording artist AKON have announced that they will be bringing their co-headlined ‘Nights Like This’ global tour to London’s The O2 on Friday 8 May 2026.
Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 28 January and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 30 January via www.theo2.co.uk.
The tour brings together two generational artists whose catalogues have defined radio, nightlife, and pop culture. NE-YO and AKON will share the stage in a unique, dynamic back-and-forth set throughout the show stacked with era-defining hits, sing-along anthems, and club classics.
Featuring NE-YO’s “So Sick,” “Closer,” and “Miss Independent,” alongside AKON’s “Smack That,” “Lonely,” and “Right Now (Na Na Na),” the ‘Nights Like This Tour’ is a nostalgia rush for longtime fans and fresh excitement to new listeners. From slow jams to club anthems, every night is built to feel like a throwback party and a celebration.
