J Cole Plays Second Sold-Out Night at the O2 Arena

J Cole performed the second of his three London dates at the O2 Arena in Greenwich on 20 October as part of his Fall-Off World Tour, his first solo headline run in five years.

American rapper J Cole played the second of three London shows at the O2 Arena in Greenwich on Monday 20 October 2026, as part of his Fall-Off World Tour supporting his seventh studio album. It is Cole's first solo headline tour since 2017 — a gap of nearly five years — and the London run has been among the most anticipated shows of the autumn. Doors opened at 6:30pm with Cole expected on stage between 8:30pm and 9pm, finishing around 10:30pm due to the venue's 11pm curfew. No opening act was scheduled, though some earlier dates on the US leg featured surprise guests. Tickets for the October dates sold out, with some remaining for the third and final London date on 2 November starting from approximately £78. The O2 Arena in North Greenwich is accessible by Jubilee line to North Greenwich station. Time Out London published a comprehensive guide on 18 October — covering stage times, setlist previews and travel tips — that ranked among the outlet's most-clicked stories in the days around the concert, reflecting the scale of audience interest in London.
