Contemporary jazz-pop prodigy Laufey has unveiled an array of performances across the UK and Europe during spring 2026.

The Icelandic-Chinese vocalist and multi-instrumentalist is slated to grace Manchester’s Co-op Live on March 4 and London’s O₂ Arena on March 8, with additional stops in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, France and beyond. These dates extend her ongoing world tour, which journeys into North America later this fall.

Fan club members will gain access to presale tickets starting September 10 at 9:00 AM BST, with the general sale opening on September 12 at the same hour. For full ticketing details, visit Laufey’s official site.

These concerts represent her most ambitious bookings to date in the UK and Europe, coinciding with the release of her third studio album, A Matter of Time. Issued through AWAL on August 22, the record debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and number three on the Official UK Albums Chart—both career highs for Laufey.

Remarkably, A Matter of Time stands as the highest-debuting jazz album on the Billboard 200 since Michael Bublé’s Love reached number two in December 2018, and it marks Laufey’s first top-ten entry in the US.

In an Instagram statement, Laufey described A Matter of Time as “an exploration of time, genre, space, emotion—a genuine portrait of falling in love and the journey of self-discovery.” The album follows her 2023 release, Bewitched, which facilitated her mainstream breakthrough and earned a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Her North American tour launches on September 15 with two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden and performances at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. British artist Suki Waterhouse will provide support; opening acts for the UK and European dates will be announced soon.
