Sombr has announced a last minute, intimate show at London’s KOKO and the show will take place this Friday (November 21). This comes after the singer made his debut performance on Saturday Night Live and secured a Grammy Award nomination in the Best New Artist Category.
After his song ‘Caroline’ went viral in 2022 and his EP ‘In Another Life’ in 2023 gained him a following, he made his big break this year with his debut album ‘I Barely Know Here’, with fan favourite singles on there such as ‘Back to Friends’ and ‘Undressed’. These songs went viral on TikTok, and earned him global success in the charts.
This also has led him to announce his first major tour ‘The Late Nights & Young Romance Tour’. The UK leg of the tour includes shows in London at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
Before doing his headline show, he has also supported Nessa Barrett in the UK earlier this year on her ‘Aftercare Tour’, where he played at major venues such as London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town and Manchester Academy.
Sombr has also had major success in the UK charts with multiple songs in the Top 40. His breakout single ‘Back to Friends’ climbed to number 7 on the UK Officials Singles Chart, and stayed in the Top 40 for many weeks. Additionally, his song ‘Undressed’ became his biggest UK single so far – it entered the UK chart at number 65, then broke into the Top 40 at number 37, and eventually peaked at number 4, making it his most commercially successful songs in the UK.
Recently, his song ‘We Never Dated’ (released earlier this year), charted and debuted at number 37 on the UK Singles Chart. His single ’12 to 12′ became his third Top 10 UK single, peaking at number 7, further cementing his popularity in the UK, and showing his dedicated fan base.
Ahead of the announcement of his UK and Europe tour next year, fans have positively reacted to the announcement, with fans wanting him to add new dates. Fans have been commenting on his Instagram post with comments such as, “Please add a date in Dublin, pleaaaaaaaaaase”, and “More tickets in Prague please”, even after he had upgraded shows and added shows. His instagram caption said, “Sold out instantly. 2 more nights added in London, 1 more night in Paris and Manchester, Zurich, Berlin, and Barcelona upgraded. Thank you.”
Tickets for the one-off intimate gig in London later this week will be available to buy on November 19 at 10am, and can be bought here.
