Melanie Martinez at the O2 Arena: timings and everything you need to know

Melanie Martinez fans in London, get your babydoll dresses at the ready. The ‘Cry Baby’ singer is coming to London this week. Known for playing with alter-egos, the alt-pop singer’s The Trilogy Tour will see her perform in plenty of pastel dresses, bows and as the four-eyed majestical alien featured on her third and most recent studio album Portals.

Having performed the O2 Forum in Kentish Town during her first stint in Europe back in 2016, this is Martinez’s first all-arena tour. The Billboard Music Award-nominated artist has already been to Glasgow and Manchester in the UK so far. 

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of her arrival at the O2 Arena this week, from timings to ticket availability.
