Central Cee at London’s O2 Arena: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know

London’s very own Central Cee is playing a huge show in the capital this week. Cench is swapping west London (he was born in Ladbroke Grove and grew up in Shepherd’s Bush) for the southeast with a tour stop at Greenwich’s O2 Arena – and it’s the only London date on his Can’t Rush Greatness World Tour. 

Central Cee’s tour follows the release of his long-awaited debut album Can’t Rush Greatness, and it’s a full-blown, true-to-the-name world tour. The chart-topping rapper is currently on the tour’s European leg, and he’ll eventually head off to North America and Australasia. 

Heading to see Central Cee at the O2 this week? Here’s everything you need to know, from timings and a potential setlist to remaining ticket availability.

When is Central Cee playing at London’s O2? 

Central Cee’s London show on the Can’t Rush Greatness World Tour is on Thursday April 24 2025. 

What are the timings?

Doors open to the venue at 6.30pm, though the O2’s restaurants and bars will be open before that.
