Dizzee Rascal Set To Turn Leeds O2 Academy Into Party Central

Dizzee Rascal will bring his We Want Bass tour to the O2 Academy Leeds on Friday 30 October 2026, delivering a headline show from one of the UK’s most influential grime pioneers.

Breaking through in the early 2000s with the Mercury Prize-winning Boy in da Corner, the East London artist has consistently pushed his sound forward, blending grime, hip-hop and club-ready basslines.

Returning to the stage with a focus on high-energy production and heavy low-end, We Want Bass promises a set packed with both classic tracks and newer material. Known for anthems like Bonkers, Fix Up, Look Sharp and Dance Wiv Me, Dizzee Rascal’s live shows are built for big rooms, with relentless pacing and crowd-driven momentum at their core. This latest run looks set to lean into that energy, transforming Leeds’ O2 Academy into a full-throttle party.

With a catalogue that bridges underground roots and chart-topping crossover success, this show offers the chance to experience one of British music’s most enduring and electrifying performers in an intimate setting compared to his arena-scale appearances.
