The drum and bass pioneer is taking his acclaimed Circular Sound production to new heights, with two huge UK arena dates marking the next chapter for one of electronic music's biggest live shows.

Date published: 12th Aug 2026

Sub Focus is taking his acclaimed ‘Circular Sound’ production to arenas for the first time, announcing his biggest headline shows to date at London's The O2 and Manchester's Co-op Live.

The drum and bass heavyweight will perform at The O2 on Friday 26th March before heading to Co-op Live on Saturday 27th March 2027, bringing his immersive audiovisual show to two of the UK's largest indoor venues.

The arena dates mark another major milestone for ‘Circular Sound’, which has already sold out London's Alexandra Palace, toured across Los Angeles, Australia and New Zealand, and helped make Sub Focus the first drum and bass artist to headline Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre as part of WORSHIP.

Known for its striking visuals and large-scale production, the show has become one of the most talked-about live experiences in electronic music, with Sub Focus personally curating the visuals and creative direction.

With more than two decades at the forefront of drum and bass, Sub Focus has built a reputation for combining underground influences with chart success. His catalogue includes UK Top 10 singles and collaborations with artists including Katy B, Grimes, John Summit, Fireboy DML and IRAH, while his fourth studio album, Evolve, continued his run of acclaimed releases.

Away from his solo work, the producer is also a founding member of the influential WORSHIP collective alongside Dimension, Culture Shock and 1991, helping introduce a new generation of fans to drum and bass around the world.

Pre-sale tickets for both arena shows go live at 10 am on Wednesday 19th August, ahead of the general sale at 10 am on Friday 21st August.
