London Music | Friday 1 October 2027
One of the world’s most celebrated voices is coming back. Andrea Bocelli has announced the Romanza 30th Anniversary Tour, four very special UK arena shows in 2027 marking three decades since the album that made him a global star. The London show is at The O2 on Friday 1 October 2027.
Here are five things to know.
1. It celebrates a record-breaking album
Released in 1997, Romanza blended classical influences with contemporary songwriting and became the best-selling Italian-language album of all time. It’s also the best-selling predominantly non-English-language album ever. A special Romanza 30 anniversary edition is being reissued by Decca to mark the milestone.
2. Expect Con te partirò
At the heart of the album is “Con te partirò”, the song that launched Bocelli onto the international stage. Its duet version with Sarah Brightman, “Time to Say Goodbye”, became a worldwide phenomenon and took his voice far beyond the world of classical music.
3. Four UK dates
The tour opens at Utilita Arena Birmingham on Wednesday 29 September 2027, then heads to The O2 in London on Friday 1 October. It continues to Co-op Live in Manchester on Tuesday 5 October and finishes at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Saturday 9 October.
4. A true living legend
Bocelli has sold nearly 90 million records and has more than 25 billion streams. He’s sung at the Olympic Games and the World Cup, and won a Golden Globe, seven Classical BRITs and seven World Music Awards. “I love performing there, and I can’t wait to create some more magical moments with my fans,” he says of returning to the UK.
5. Presale starts this Wednesday
These shows are likely to sell fast. The Andrea Bocelli Social Fan Presale opens on Wednesday 30 September at 10am, and general sale starts on Friday 2 October at 10am.
