Sub Focus to Play Milestone Shows in London and Manchester

Sub Focus is bringing his Circular Sound stage show to The O2 in London and Co-Op Live in Manchester.

Sub Focus has announced what his team is calling the “biggest shows of his career.”

They’re not wrong. The UK drum and bass superstar has spent the past four years touring Circular Sound across the globe. In spring 2027, he’s taking the 360° audiovisual stage show concept to The O2 in London and Co-Op Live in Manchester on March 26-27, respectively.

No supporting acts have been announced for either date at the time of writing. Previous Circular Sound shows have featured artists like Culture Shock, Pola & Bryson, Disrupta, and ROVA.

After debuting the concept in 2022, Sub Focus (real name Nicolaas Douwe Douwma) proved that Circular Sound — which features rotating lighting rigs and projection — could work at scale. He famously sold out its October 2024 Alexandra Palace edition in London within seconds of tickets going on sale, and he’s taken it throughout Australia, New Zealand, and the US.

Douwma started learning to produce music in the mid ’90s, when he was only 13 years old. His big break came when Andy C signed several of his tracks to his RAM Records imprint in 2003. Douwma has toured globally in the years since then, especially as part of the WORSHIP supergroup amid drum and bass’ post-pandemic resurgence across the US.

In November 2025, Douwma released a 14-track album titled Contact. This October, he and his WORSHIP brethren will kick off a six-date North American arena tour.

Presale for Sub Focus’ March 2027 Circular Sound shows goes live on Wednesday, August 19 at 10am, with the general sale to follow on Friday, August 21 at 10am.
