“We are thrilled to welcome Van Morrison as the very first artist to have a residency at our brand-new venue,” said Lucy Noble, SVP UK venues AEG Presents in a new statement. “The shows are set to be incredible.”
The London gigs come following the singer-songwriter recently dropping the new album ‘Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge’, which sees him make a return to blues and cover tracks from huge names like B.B.King and Buddy Guy.
Last month, the ‘Moondance’ singer took home the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Jazz FM Awards, and later this summer he is set to play at multiple festivals including the iconic Montreux Jazz Festival alongside RAYE, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PinkPantheress, Lewis Capaldi and more.
As for the British Airways ARC venue in Olympia, news of the new 3,800 capacity arena was announced last November, and performers scheduled to perform at the venue first include Self Esteem, McFly, the Zac Brown Band, and Khalid.
