Sub Focus plays The O2 in London on Friday 26 March 2027 and Co-op Live in Manchester the next night, Saturday 27 March. Both shows bring his Circular Sound production into arenas for the first time, and they’re the biggest headline shows of his career so far.
Circular Sound is the audiovisual show Nick Douwma built around his own widescreen visuals. It has already sold out Alexandra Palace, toured Los Angeles, Australia and New Zealand, and went to Red Rocks in Colorado when he became the first drum & bass artist to headline there, as part of WORSHIP. Two New Zealand Circular Sound dates follow the UK pair, in Christchurch on 9 April and Auckland on 10 April.
Sub Focus at The O2, London, Friday 26 March
Doors at The O2 arena are 6.30pm. The O2’s official ticket partner is AXS, which also has a limited 3 for 2 group deal, and See Tickets is selling too. Tickets bought through AXS or The O2 are mobile tickets in The O2 app, and AXS Official Resale is the safe route if you can’t go. Accessible tickets are booked through The O2 using the Nimbus Access Card.
Sub Focus at Co-op Live, Manchester, Saturday 27 March
The Manchester show runs from 5pm to 11pm, with last entry at 7pm, according to the Skiddle listing. Tickets are on Skiddle and Ticketmaster, and Ticketmaster has a separate accessible tickets page. The listing says £1 from every ticket goes to the LIVE Trust, the charity backing grassroots venues and promoters.
Age limits and who can stand
The same rules apply at both arenas. Standing is strictly 18+, and standing tickets bought for under-18s won’t be refunded. Under-18s can only go in with seated tickets, and anyone under 15 has to be with an adult aged 18 or over.
Both shows were still listed as on sale when we checked on 8 November. General sale opened on 21 August after a presale two days earlier.
Sub Focus is also headlining WAH Malta 2027 at Fort Manoel a month later. Everything for the arena dates is on the official Circular Sound site.
