Olympia London has cancelled all live shows scheduled for December 2026, attributing the decision to "unforeseen planning issues". This impacts several artists, including Royal Blood, Bloc Party, and Interpol.
Royal Blood confirmed today (Friday, October 2) that their December 3 performance at the 7,000-capacity West Kensington venue has been axed. The band stated that they, along with other artists, were informed of the venue's planning issues, forcing the cancellation of all shows this year.
Tickets for Royal Blood's cancelled show will be fully refunded, as no alternative London venue was available for December 3. The band is working on a new London date for 2027.
Co-headline concerts by Interpol and Bloc Party, set for December 4 and 5 at Olympia London, are also listed as cancelled on Ticketmaster. It is currently unclear if these performances will be rescheduled or moved.
In contrast, Jamie T's shows on December 11 and 12, originally at Olympia London, have been relocated to the OVO Arena Wembley on the same dates.
