Available for: Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester
O2 Priority Presale
Opens: Wednesday 15 April 2026, 10:00 BST O2 or Virgin Media customers can access this presale through O2 Priority. No additional sign-up required beyond your existing account. This runs on the same day as the artist presale, giving eligible fans an early window ahead of the Thursday presales.

Live Nation Presale

How to Maximise Your Chances
-
Register for the artist presale now. It opens on Wednesday 15 April at 10:00 BST, and sign-up can close before that. Don't leave it until the morning of the presale.
-
Stack your presale access. Most fans qualify for at least two or three of the presales on offer. Creating a free Live Nation or Metropolis account takes minutes and gives you another window to try if one presale sells out quickly.
-
Follow each event on Evnt Central. You'll receive a free reminder before each presale goes live, so nothing sneaks up on you. Follow the event for your date and you're covered.
-
Follow Bleachers on Evnt Central. If additional dates are added to the Bleachers UK tour 2026, you'll get an instant alert rather than finding out after tickets are already gone.
-
Check ticket limits per show before buying. Limits vary across dates, from 4 tickets during presale in Bristol up to 8 in Manchester for general sale. Buying over the limit risks having your order cancelled.
