Tom Odell, the British singer-songwriter behind the haunting anthem Another Love, is ramping up for a massive comeback. He’s just rolled out the dates for his biggest UK arena tour yet—called the Wonderful Life Tour—to support his forthcoming album A Wonderful Life, which drops September 5, 2025. With music venues finally back in the buzz after years of on-off restrictions, fans can’t wait to catch Odell live in some of the country’s most legendary arenas.
On his new tour, expect Tom to take over stages that are anything but intimate cafes—think London’s The O2 on October 29, SSE Arena Belfast on October 24, and Utilita Arena Cardiff on October 21. These aren’t just pit stops on a tour map; they’re the heartbeats of modern British gigs, drawing crowds from across the country who’ve been itching for Odell’s brand of emotionally raw pop.
The tour isn’t just about the biggest venues or the new album. Odell’s inviting a rich lineup of talent along for the ride. London’s show is getting a double treat with Chance Peña and Matilda Mann joining the bill, while fans in Belfast can expect Katie Gregson-MacLeod alongside Peña. While the full roster of guest acts hasn’t been revealed for every date, the idea is clear: Odell’s keeping things fresh, collaborative, and unpredictable across each city.
Fans have been hanging tight for the album, and Tom dropped a real teaser with his latest single, Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder. People are already calling it a ‘cinematic lullaby’—not your typical chart filler. The song’s quiet power and uplifting chorus latch on to the theme that’s run through Odell’s recent work: honest, direct songwriting that doesn’t duck the big emotions. It’s the kind of music that really boomed during lockdown moments, and it’s what’s drawn people to Tom since his early days.
Worried about missing out? Quick heads-up: O2 and Virgin Media customers got a jump on tickets with a priority release on May 28 via O2 Priority, but the general public’s turn kicked in May 30 over at AXS.com. With Odell’s growing audience—thanks to his viral success and a recent stint supporting Billie Eilish across European arenas—these tickets are moving fast. If you’re aiming for seats in the stands or a good spot on the floor, waiting around isn’t an option this year.
But there’s more to this story than just dates and sales figures. Odell has clearly shifted gears since those first piano ballads; his recent material is stripped-back but packed with vulnerability. That sense of connection is part of why Another Love keeps coming back on playlists and TikTok feeds, and it’s the driving force behind the tour and new album. The Wonderful Life Tour is shaping up to be more than just a victory lap—Odell’s coming back to the stage exactly how fans like him: unfiltered, deeply personal, and ready to fill every corner of the arena.
