Acid jazz legends Jamiroquai are making a triumphant return to the London stage, set to headline the capital's O2 Arena for two highly anticipated shows next week. The band, fronted by Jay Kay, will perform as part of their 'Heels of Steel' tour, marking their first live appearances in six years.
Essential Timings for Jamiroquai's O2 Arena Concerts
The iconic North Greenwich venue will welcome fans for concerts on Tuesday, December 9, and Sunday, December 14, 2025. This marks a significant comeback, as the band last graced the O2 Arena stage back in 2017 during their 'Automaton' tour.
According to the official O2 Arena website, doors will open at 6:30pm for the Tuesday show and at 6:00pm for the Sunday performance. While attendees with standing tickets are advised to arrive early to secure a prime spot, those with seated tickets can afford a more relaxed arrival.
When Will the Shows Start and Finish?
While the venue has not released an exact minute-by-minute schedule, typical O2 Arena concert patterns provide a reliable guide. Support acts usually begin around 7:30pm. For these London dates, Jamiroquai have confirmed that Erick the Architect and Cerrone will be the opening acts.
The main event is expected to commence at approximately 8:30pm, when Jay Kay and the band are predicted to hit the stage. In terms of finish times, weekday concerts at the O2 typically conclude by 11:00pm, wrapping up around 10:30pm. Sunday shows tend to end slightly earlier, finishing around 10:00pm and no later than 10:30pm.
A Long-Awaited Return to Live Performance
The 'Heels of Steel' tour represents a major event for UK music fans, ending a lengthy hiatus for one of Britain's most distinctive funk and acid jazz exports. Their return to one of London's premier music venues promises a night of classic hits and vibrant performance, cementing their enduring appeal.
