TOM ODELL ANNOUNCES HEADLINE SHOW AT THE O2 THIS OCTOBER

Tom Odell has announced a headline show at The O2 on Wednesday 29 October 2025, as part of his upcoming arena tour and following the news of his new album, A Wonderful Life, which is out on 5 September 2025.

Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 28 May and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 30 May via AXS.com.

To coincide with the album’s announcement, Tom shares a new single, ‘Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder’. A cinematic lullaby, the guitar-led track soon arrows skyward evoking all the anthemic qualities to suggest that Tom and his audience will be bathed in the glare of phone torches and lighter flames when it becomes a certain staple of his live set.

The songs on A Wonderful Life, seek understanding within a human existence that is, at its core, messy and convoluted and never just one thing. “I wish I could wrap it up into a nice little bow of what the mood and the message is, but these songs are the antithesis of that,” he says. “To live, and to write honestly about it, is such a profoundly important part of my life now. And I feel like if I have any duty whatsoever, it’s just to continue to do that.”

Tom has recently been out across Europe’s arenas in support of Billie Eilish, and will return to many of the same venues to headline them later this year as part of his upcoming arena tour.

Meanwhile over on TikTok, Tom’s 2012 breakthrough hit ‘Another Love’ has spent the last two years going quietly stratospheric, entering the top 50 on the Billboard TikTok chart, and soundtracking millions of TikTok videos, most commonly in support of Ukraine as a sign of hope, and by Iranian women to soundtrack protest videos in response to the death of Mahsa Amini whilst in the custody of the ‘morality police’. The song, originally written by a young Tom making his very first moves in this enduring musical career, has since accumulated over 3 billion streams on Spotify, becoming one of the top 25 most streamed songs of all time on the platform.
 
But these big streaming numbers and the accumulation of industry awards (BRITs and Ivor Novellos) only paint part of the story of this talented musician who manages to shoot his music directly to hearts right across the globe that instantly relate to millions. It’s one reason why artists both young (The Last Dinner Party, Billie Eilish, AURORA) and old (Cat Stevens, Elton John) have expressed their love and support for what he does.

A Wonderful Life feels like an important body of work by a musician right at the top of his game, and quietly becoming more popular by the day.
