Van Morrison to Hold Five-Night Residency at New London Venue
The five fully seated shows mark the first residency at the new venue, with tickets on sale Friday at 9 a.m., organizers said.
Northern Irish musician Van Morrison will perform a five-night residency at the new British Airways ARC venue at Olympia London, with shows scheduled for September 23, 24, 27, 28, and 29, 2026.
The British Airways ARC, a 3,800-seat venue, opens June 16 as part of the £1.3 billion London Olympia redevelopment project, marking the first residency at the site.
Crediting early immersion in his father's jazz collection, the 80-year-old singer recently released the album "Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge" and admitted he would "probably not" be performing today without that influence.
Tickets for the fully seated shows go on sale at 9am on Friday, May 15, while Lucy Noble, SVP UK Venues at AEG Presents, described the residency as "thrilling."
Alongside these London dates, Morrison is scheduled to appear at multiple European Festivals in 2026, including the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival, maintaining his global touring presence.
