The Wombats Rock London’s O2 Arena – What You Need to Know
Alright, indie rock lovers, this is the moment you've been waiting for! The legendary Wombats are taking the stage at London's iconic O2 Arena, and it's going to be a night to remember. If you're a fan of their infectious beats and nostalgic anthems, you won’t want to miss this.
The Liverpool-formed trio—Matthew Murphy, Tord Øverland Knudsen, and Dan Haggis—have been rocking the indie scene since the early 2000s, delivering bangers like Let's Dance to Joy Division , Moving to New York , and Greek Tragedy . Now, they’re back on tour in support of their sixth studio album, Oh! The Ocean , and London is just the second stop on their UK and European tour.
So, what’s the deal for the big night? The concert is happening on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at the O2 Arena in Greenwich. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and while exact set times aren’t confirmed, expect The Wombats to hit the stage between 8:30 and 9:00 PM. Make sure you arrive early to soak in the full experience and grab the best spot possible. The show is expected to wrap up around 11 PM.

And here’s the kicker—joining them on this tour are two phenomenal support acts: Everything Everything , the arty indie pop group, and Red Rum Club , the alt-rockers from Merseyside. It’s a solid lineup, ensuring that the energy will be sky-high all night long.
Now, let’s talk about the setlist. While we don’t have a confirmed list for the O2 gig just yet, we can make some pretty good guesses based on their recent shows. Expect to hear classics like Moving to New York , Greek Tragedy , and Let's Dance to Joy Division , alongside fresh tracks from Oh! The Ocean like Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come and Blood on the Hospital Floor . And with a bigger venue and a longer set time, there’s a good chance they’ll throw in a few surprises for their London crowd.
Still need tickets? You’re in luck! There are still some available, with prices starting around £40. You can grab them through AXS or other official ticket sellers. Don’t wait too long—these will be gone before you know it.
It’s no secret that The Wombats have evolved over the years. Once known for their wild, all-night party antics, the band has taken a more chilled-out approach to life on the road. Instead of late-night ragers, their backstage vibe now includes yoga, gym sessions, and kombucha on the rider. Murph even shared that he hasn’t touched alcohol in over two years, swapping tequila shots for something just as nasty-tasting but booze-free.
Even though the partying days may be behind them, their music still hits just as hard. They continue to bring the same youthful energy and passion to their performances, proving that two decades in, The Wombats are still at the top of their game. If you’re heading to the O2 Arena this week, prepare for an unforgettable night of indie magic. See you there!
