Talia Mar announces her biggest London headline show yet at KOKO on 6th October, following a sold-out September UK tour run
Talia Mar is heading to KOKO. The British singer-songwriter has confirmed a headline show at the iconic London venue on 6th October 2026, her biggest London date to date. Pre-sale tickets, with early soundcheck access options available, go live on 20th May, and general sale follows on 22nd May.
The announcement arrives on the back of considerable momentum. A run of UK dates across September, covering Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, and Bristol, sold out shortly after going on sale last week. The KOKO show is the natural next move: a room that fits the scale of what is happening around her right now.
‘Lady’ and the Return
The tour follows the release of “Lady,” Talia’s first new music since becoming a parent. She welcomed her daughter, Juni Angèle Minter-Mar, with husband and Sidemen member Simon Minter in July 2025, and the song arrived as a direct response to that shift in her life. “Lady was the first song I wrote after having my daughter,” she said on the track’s release. “I was reflecting so much about my life as a woman and how differently I hope she experiences certain things. I love this song so much. It’s become so special to me.”
The track landed fast. It hit the Top 3 on the iTunes chart and entered the Official Singles Sales Chart at Number 22. Talia also performed it live at the BAFTA Games Awards in April 2026, a platform that speaks to the dual world she occupies: pop music and a digital-native audience that crosses over comfortably into gaming and streaming culture. She has 1.4 million subscribers across two YouTube channels and a combined 2.2 million followers on Instagram and TikTok.
That reach matters for an artist who has been building her live profile with care. Talia first broke through with her 2016 debut single “Stolen” before achieving a wider chart moment through her collaboration with Sigala on “Stay The Night,” which peaked at No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart, earned platinum certification, and crossed 100 million streams on Spotify. The journey from that collaboration to a sold-out UK headline run tells a story about an artist who has been doing the work steadily and at her own pace.
The Full Tour Picture
The October KOKO date slots into a run that starts in May and runs through autumn. A London date at The Courtyard Theatre on 16th May opens the sequence. September picks up with Birmingham’s Hare and Hounds on the 6th, SWG3 Poetry Club in Glasgow on the 19th, Headrow House in Leeds on the 20th, The Lodge at Deaf Institute in Manchester on the 26th, and The Louisiana in Bristol on the 27th. KOKO on 6th October closes it out.
The venues map a trajectory: from intimate club rooms in the regions to one of London’s most beloved mid-capacity venues. KOKO, which completed a major renovation in 2022, holds around 1,500 people and sits in a category of rooms where artists tend to stay once they reach them or move upwards. For Talia, booking it at this moment, backed by “Lady” and a sold-out tour, is a statement of where she is and where she is going.
Tickets for the KOKO show go on pre-sale 20th May, with general sale opening 22nd May.
