Van Morrison sets first London residency at new British Airways ARC with five September dates
Van Morrison will play a five-night London residency at British Airways ARC this September, the venue's first-ever run.
Van Morrison is heading back to London this autumn for a five-night residency, and it will be the first one staged at the brand-new British Airways ARC venue at Olympia.
The Northern Irish singer, songwriter and musician will kick things off on September 23, then return on September 24, 27, 28 and 29. Every show in the run will be fully seated. Tickets go on sale at 9am BST on Friday, May 15.

“We are thrilled to welcome Van Morrison as the very first artist to have a residency at our brand-new venue,” Lucy Noble, SVP UK venues at AEG Presents, said in a new statement. “The shows are set to be incredible.”
The dates land shortly after Morrison released his new album Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge, a record that finds him back in blues territory and covering songs by heavyweights including B.B. King and Buddy Guy.
It has already been a busy year for the Moondance singer. Last month, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Jazz FM Awards, and later this summer he is due to appear at several festivals, among them Montreux Jazz Festival, where he will be on the bill with RAYE, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PinkPantheress, Lewis Capaldi and more.
British Airways ARC itself was announced last November as a 3,800-capacity arena, with an opening stretch that also includes Self Esteem, McFly, the Zac Brown Band and Khalid.
