Sammy Virji has locked in his biggest UK headline show to date, taking over London’s legendary Alexandra Palace on Saturday, 18th April 2026. The 10,000-capacity venue will host what’s set to be a milestone in the UK garage figurehead’s rapid ascent.

It caps off a year where Virji has pulled huge crowds worldwide - from a breakout set at Coachella to sold-out venues across continents. With his second album, Same Day Cleaning, landing on 19th September, the Ally Pally date arrives perfectly timed and primed to host the unrivalled energy of a Virji crowd.

A defining force in UKG’s global resurgence, Virji has stacked achievements few contemporaries can match. He’s gone viral with his DJ Mag set, gone B2B with Four Tet in Liverpool, and earned a Radio 1 residency plus a landmark Essential Mix. He’s also collaborated with Skepta, Chris Lake, Flowdan, Giggs and more. Basically, his cross-genre pulling power knows no bounds. 

Beyond the UK, his reach has gone global: tens of millions of streams, Gold certification for If U Need It, and a top 10 hit in the UK Dance Chart with Skepta collab Cops & Robbers. Stateside, he’s filled Forest Hills Stadium in New York, showing his garage revival is more than a UK phenomenon.
