Legendary singer-songwriter Van Morrison added a London show at the New Wimbledon Theatre on Saturday 26 September 2026, following what promoters described as overwhelming demand for his run of performances in the capital. That date has now sold out.
Readers still hoping to see Morrison live in London this autumn have a better chance at his multi-night residency at the British Airways ARC venue at Olympia, where tickets for other dates in the run remain on sale.
Where to get tickets
The Wimbledon show is one of several London performances Morrison has scheduled for September 2026. With that single date now gone, the box office and official ticketing point readers towards the remaining ARC shows.
Tickets for the other London dates are available through Ticketline. Any last-minute returns or additional releases for the sold-out Wimbledon date would be handled by the venue directly, though availability is not guaranteed.
Still going strong at 80
The London dates come during a notably busy stretch for Morrison, who celebrated his 80th birthday in 2025 and has kept up a prolific release schedule. His recent album, Somebody Tried to Sell Me a Bridge, arrived in January 2026 on his own Orangefield Records label and marked a return to the blues — the genre that shaped his early years with the band Them.
The record leans heavily on blues covers and reinterpretations, with a handful of Morrison originals, and features guest appearances from blues heavyweights including Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy and Elvin Bishop. It drew broadly positive reviews on release, with critics praising its energy and the calibre of its guest musicians.
Morrison's schedule for 2026 also takes him beyond the UK, with appearances lined up at several European festivals, including the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival.
For a performer with a career spanning more than six decades — from the R&B of Them through landmark albums such as Astral Weeks and Moondance to his recent blues records — the London run offers audiences another chance to see one of popular music's enduring figures on stage.
