Brad Paisley said: “I truly treasure the times I have played at the O2 and how it has fuelled my desire to return to London and the UK time and again. Those tours are among my favourite memories of my career.”
Emma Bownes, Senior Vice President of Venue Programming, AEG International, said: “Country music has become an incredibly important part of The O2’s story. From launching Country to Country back in 2013 to welcoming many of the genre’s biggest stars to our stage, we’ve seen first-hand just how passionate and loyal the UK country audience is. Brad Paisley was one of the first major contemporary country artists to headline The O2, so it’s especially fitting that he returns as part of our 20th birthday celebrations. He’s a true icon of the genre and we’re delighted to welcome him back to the venue.”
Since opening in 2007, The O2 has welcomed more than 100 million visitors and hosted over 6,800 events, establishing itself as one of the world’s leading live entertainment destinations and the home of countless iconic performances.
The 20th birthday celebrations will continue throughout 2027, with further artist announcements to be revealed in the coming months. The milestone year follows the recent extension of The O2’s landmark naming rights agreement with O2 until 2038, ensuring one of the UK’s most successful and enduring partnerships will continue into the venue’s third decade.
