Moby at London’s O2 Arena: start time, tickets and what you need to know

Here’s something to make you feel old: Moby’s legendary album Play turned 25 this year. Best known for hits like ‘Porcelain’, ‘Natural Blues’ and ‘Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?’, Play remains one of the past few decades’ most celebrated and influential electronic records.

To celebrate 25 years of Play, Moby is embarking on a massive Play 25 tour of Europe – including a huge show at London’s O2 Arena. It’s one of only two UK dates on Moby’s current tour, which marks his first live shows in over a decade.

Moby’s Play 25th anniversary tour show in London is set to be a spectacular night. Here’s everything you need to know about the show, from the door times and when Moby is set to come on stage to any remaining tickets.

Moby’s Play 25 O2 show is on Thursday September 19 2024.

Timings

Doors open at 6.30pm, though the O2’s restaurants and bars will open earlier.

Main acts at the O2 tend to come on between 8.30pm and 9pm, and finish up by the 11pm curfew. On the first night of Moby’s Play 25 tour in Manchester, he took to the stage at 8.45pm.
