Love To Be… Announces Major UK O2 Academy Tour

Legendary house music brand Love to be… has announced a major UK tour in partnership with Academy Music Group. The Love to be… UK tour will visit O2 Academy venues between 7th November 2026 and 17th May 2027.

The tour stops in Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Manchester and London. It marks the brand’s largest UK venue tour since launching in Sheffield in 1994.

Founded by Tony Walker at the Music Factory, Love to be… has spent more than 30 years shaping house music culture. Its previous guests include Frankie Knuckles, Masters At Work, Basement Jaxx, Claptone, Sonny Fodera and Sam Divine.

The Love to be… UK tour continues that approach with established names and emerging talent sharing the bill. Confirmed artists include Sam Divine, Belters Only, Solardo, Todd Terry, Fat Tony, Sandy Rivera, Marshall Jefferson, Groove P, Yousef, lau.ra, K Klass, Rue Jay, Trimtone and Janika Tenn.

Additional events will take place at Hangr Sheffield on 17th October, Arts Club Liverpool on 24th October and Horizon Brighton on 28th November.

Love to be… has also launched The Next Generation DJ Competition. DJs aged 18 and over can submit a 30 minute house mix for the chance to perform at their nearest O2 Academy venue.

“This is more than a competition. It’s a chance to be part of a story that’s been building since 1994 – and to write your own chapter in it,” said Walker.

Tickets and further lineup announcements will be available through the Love to be… website.
