The O2 Announces 20th Anniversary Celebration Series for 2027

London’s The O2 has announced plans to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2027 with a special program of live events featuring residencies, exclusive performances, and one-night-only shows.

Maisie Peters has been revealed as the first artist confirmed for the anniversary lineup. The singer-songwriter will perform her first headline show at the venue on May 8, 2027.

“Being the first artist announced for The O2’s 20th birthday celebration is honestly such an honour,” Peters said in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of the venue for as long as I can remember and have watched so many shows there, so getting to step onto that stage for my own headline show feels like a real dream come true.”

She added: “The O2 holds so many iconic moments, and to be part of the very start of its next chapter makes this moment even more special and I can’t wait to share it with my fans.”

The anniversary marks two decades of partnership between the venue and sponsor O2. The site originally opened in 1999 as the Millennium Dome before relaunching as The O2 in 2007.

Steve Sayer, senior vice president and general manager of The O2, said the anniversary represents an important milestone for the venue. “Celebrating 20 years of The O2 is a significant milestone for us,” Sayer said.

“Over the past two decades, we’ve hosted more than 3,000 shows, welcomed over 100 million visitors, and established The O2 as the world’s leading live entertainment venue with countless iconic live moments to its name.”

Sayer said the anniversary programming will celebrate the venue’s history while also focusing on future artists and performances.

“Our birthday celebrations are about reflecting on our success and legacy whilst continuing to look firmly to the future,” he said. “Bringing together iconic acts alongside the next generation of talent is central to that vision.”

Additional artists and events for the anniversary series are expected to be announced at a later date.
