Sombr’s rapid rise is set to reach another milestone in 2027, with the singer-songwriter heading back to the UK for a series of major summer performances.

The artist, whose breakthrough tracks include ‘Back To Friends’ and ‘Undressed’, is set to perform in Belfast and Glasgow before heading to London for his UK arena debut at The O2 on Tuesday 22nd June 2027.

But could these shows be just the beginning of Sombr’s UK plans for 2027?

With his profile continuing to grow and an extensive European arena run scheduled before his UK appearances, we look at everything confirmed so far and consider where Sombr could perform if further UK concerts are announced.

Is Sombr touring the UK in 2027?

Yes. Sombr has confirmed three UK performances for June 2027.

Sombr will perform at Belsonic in Belfast and Glasgow Summer Sessions before travelling to London for his headline show at The O2.

Before arriving in the UK, Sombr will take his You Are The Reason Tour across Europe throughout May, with arena performances scheduled in cities including Oslo, Stockholm, Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam.

Sombr will make his UK arena debut at The O2

The biggest confirmed headline date of Sombr’s 2027 UK schedule comes at The O2 in London on Tuesday 22nd June.

The performance will mark Sombr’s UK arena debut and form part of The O2’s 20th birthday celebrations, with Suki Waterhouse confirmed as special guest.

It represents another significant step in Sombr’s progression as a live performer. His 2027 European schedule includes major arenas across the continent before reaching London in June.

The O2 opened in 2007 and has since welcomed many of the world's leading artists. A headline appearance at the venue represents an important milestone in Sombr’s growing relationship with UK audiences.

Could Sombr announce more UK tour dates for 2027?

At present, no additional UK performances beyond Belfast, Glasgow and London have been officially confirmed.

However, fans elsewhere in the country may be wondering whether Sombr could add more dates to his 2027 schedule.

The current itinerary leaves him without announced 2027 performances in several major UK touring cities, including Manchester and Birmingham.

There is currently no evidence that concerts in either city are planned, so any potential additions should be treated purely as speculation unless Sombr announces further dates.

However, his move into major European arenas and his forthcoming UK arena debut demonstrate the significant growth of his live shows.

Where could Sombr perform if more UK dates are announced?

Should Sombr expand his 2027 UK schedule, there are several major cities that could potentially feature.

It is important to stress that none of the following locations have been announced for Sombr in 2027.

Manchester

Manchester would be a notable addition to Sombr’s UK schedule.

The city is a regular destination on major UK tours, while Sombr has previously performed for audiences in Manchester. Given the growth of his live career, a return to the city could be a possibility if further UK dates are added.

For now, however, there is no confirmed Manchester performance for 2027.

Birmingham

Birmingham is another major touring destination currently absent from Sombr’s announced 2027 schedule.

Its position on many UK touring routes makes it a potential location should Sombr decide to extend his run of shows beyond Belfast, Glasgow and London.

There is currently no confirmed Sombr Birmingham concert for 2027.

Another London show

Another possibility fans may consider is an additional London performance.

Sombr’s Tuesday 22nd June show at The O2 is currently his only announced London date for 2027.

Whether another performance could be added may depend on factors including demand and Sombr’s wider touring schedule. No second London date has been announced, so fans should wait for official confirmation before expecting an additional show.

Why 2027 could be a major year for Sombr

Sombr — real name Shane Boose — has experienced a rapid ascent since ‘Back To Friends’ helped introduce his music to a much wider international audience.

His debut studio album, I Barely Know Her, arrived in 2025 and features tracks including ‘Back To Friends’, ‘Undressed’ and ‘12 to 12’.

His momentum continued in 2026 with new music including ‘Homewrecker’, ‘Potential’ and ‘My Body Isn’t Ready’.

Sombr also appeared at Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2026, performing on The Grid ahead of RAYE and Dave.

His connection with British audiences has become increasingly apparent. Speaking to NME at the BRIT Awards 2026, Sombr discussed his appreciation for UK music and thanked British listeners for embracing his debut album.

The move towards major European arenas and a headline performance at The O2 provides a clear indication of how quickly his live career has developed.

What could Sombr’s 2027 UK setlist include?

An official setlist for Sombr’s 2027 UK performances has not been announced.

However, material from I Barely Know Her could be expected to remain an important part of his live performances, alongside his more recent releases.

Songs fans could potentially hear include:

  • ‘Back To Friends’
  • ‘Undressed’
  • ‘12 to 12’
  • ‘Homewrecker’
  • ‘Potential’
  • ‘My Body Isn’t Ready’

The exact setlist will not be known until the performances take place, and any new music released before June 2027 could also influence the songs performed.

When do Sombr UK 2027 tickets go on sale?

For Sombr’s newly announced You Are The Reason Tour dates, the artist presale begins at 10:00am on Wednesday 2nd September 2026, followed by relevant local presales.

The general sale is scheduled to begin at 10:00am on Friday 4th September 2026 for remaining tickets.

The O2’s official listing also confirms that the London show goes on general sale at 10:00am on Friday 4th September 2026.

What’s next for Sombr in the UK?

For now, Belfast, Glasgow and London are the three UK destinations confirmed for Sombr in summer 2027.

His European arena tour and forthcoming UK arena debut show how significantly his live career has progressed, with The O2 performance set to provide a major moment in his 2027 schedule.

Whether Manchester, Birmingham or further UK cities eventually join the calendar remains to be seen. Until more dates are officially announced, those possibilities remain speculative.

What is certain is that Sombr will return to UK stages in June 2027, culminating in his first UK arena headline performance at The O2.
