London's iconic O2 Arena prepares for a seismic power metal event this week as Swedish heavyweights Sabaton bring their The Legendary Tour to the capital. The band is scheduled for a major headline performance at the North Greenwich venue this Thursday, December 4, 2025, marking one of their largest London concerts to date.
Essential Timings for Sabaton's O2 Arena Concert
Fans eagerly awaiting the show can now plan their evening with the confirmed schedule. According to the official O2 Arena website, the venue doors will open for attendees at 6:30pm. This early access is particularly crucial for those with standing tickets aiming to secure a prime spot near the stage, while seated ticket holders can afford a more relaxed arrival.
When Does the Music Start and Finish?
While the arena has not released an exact minute-by-minute schedule for the night, historical patterns provide a reliable guide. Concerts at the O2 typically commence with support acts around 7:30pm. Interestingly, Sabaton has not yet announced a supporting act for this specific London date.
The main event usually follows, with headline acts typically taking the stage at approximately 8:30pm. It is therefore highly likely that Sabaton will begin their powerful set around this time. For those planning travel, events on weeknights at the O2 Arena generally conclude by 10:30pm, and almost certainly no later than the venue's weekday curfew of 11pm.
A Return to the Capital
This performance represents a triumphant return for the history-themed metal band. Their last appearance before London audiences was in 2023 at the OVO Arena Wembley, as part of their previous The Tour To End All Tours production. The move to the vast O2 Arena underscores the band's growing popularity and promises an even more spectacular audio-visual experience for their devoted UK fanbase.
