K-pop phenomenon TWICE are bringing their high-octane stage show to one of the world’s most famous arenas, and London is bracing for a serious dose of candy-coated pop. As part of their latest global tour, the nine-member group will take over The O2, promising slick choreography, arena-filling singalongs and a production scale befitting one of the biggest girl groups on the planet. From essential ticket details and start times to travel tips and the songs you’re most likely to hear, here’s everything you need to know before you join the ONCE fandom for a night of lights, fan chants and tightly drilled pop perfection.
TWICE at Londons O2 start time venue schedule and how to plan your arrival
Doors at The O2 typically open around 18:00, with support acts or pre-show visuals kicking off soon after, and TWICE expected on stage between 19:30-20:00 (exact times vary by date and promoter updates). To keep your evening running smoothly, factor in London’s commuter crunch: Jubilee line services to North Greenwich can get packed from late afternoon, and security queues at the arena often stretch outside on big K-pop nights.Aim to arrive in the peninsula area at least 90 minutes before showtime, especially if you’re collecting tickets, buying merch, or planning a last-minute outfit check in the mall. Keep an eye on The O2 and promoter social feeds on the day for any schedule tweaks or gate changes.
Once you’re on site, think of the venue as its own mini-district. The inner concourse is lined with places to grab food, meet friends and squeeze in one final lightstick battery check before heading to your block. To stay one step ahead of the crowd, use this rapid snapshot:

Tickets for TWICE at the O2 where to buy prices and how to avoid resale pitfalls
Demand for London shows from the K-pop nine-piece is ferocious, so your safest bet is to go straight to primary vendors such as Ticketmaster, AXS and the official The O2 website, all of which are linked from TWICE’s and the venue’s social channels. These platforms will show live availability, face-value pricing and any official platinum or VIP options, which are the only higher-priced tickets sanctioned by the promoter.Keep an eye on presale windows – fan club, O2 Priority and Live Nation often roll out access before the general on-sale – and remember that mobile tickets are the norm, so you’ll likely need the relevant app installed well before doors open.
Resale can be a minefield, but there are ways to minimise risk. Stick to verified fan-to-fan exchanges run by primary sellers, which cap or clearly display markups, and avoid screenshots, PDF printouts or listings from vague social media accounts. If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is – especially for floor or lower-bowl seats.
- Only buy from platforms linked on TWICE’s or The O2’s official pages.
- Check that the seller’s name matches the account on fan-to-fan marketplaces.
- Use secure payment methods; never pay via bank transfer or cash.
- Confirm the section, row and seat before you click “buy”.
| Type | Typical Price Range | Where to Find |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bowl seats | £75-£140 | Ticketmaster / AXS |
| Floor / standing | £130-£190 | Primary vendors |
| VIP & packages | £220-£400+ | Artist & venue links |
| Fan-to-fan resale | Varies (check caps) | Official resale portals |

Predicted TWICE O2 setlist fan favourites deep cuts and likely encore tracks
Expect a high-gloss journey through TWICE’s evolution,leaning heavily on effervescent hits while sneaking in a few treats for long-time ONCE. Recent tours suggest that London is likely to hear chart-storming anthems like “What Is Love?”, “FANCY”, “Feel Special” and “I CAN’T STOP ME”, joined by newer stadium-sized staples such as “Talk that Talk” and “SET ME FREE”. Deep cuts often surface as special units or mid-show surprises, so don’t rule out fan-beloved B-sides sliding into the spotlight between the bigger singles.
- Fan favourites likely: “FANCY”, “Feel Special”, “What Is Love?”, “The Feels”
- Deep cuts with a chance: “Love Foolish”, “Queen”, “Go Hard”, “Behind the Mask”
- Ballad moments: “Cry For Me”, “Moonlight Sunrise” (stripped or rearranged)
- Unit stages: rap-line flexes, vocal-line ballads, dance-focused remixes
| Encore Energy | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| “TT” | Instant singalong; nostalgia hit for early fans. |
| “CHEER UP” | Classic chant sections tailor-made for arenas. |
| “The Feels” | English lyrics and big hooks for the whole O2 to belt. |
| “Alcohol-Free” | Laid-back closer to wind down the confetti storm. |
Recent tour patterns show the finale stacking two or three mega-hits in a row, often returning to feel-good essentials that let the members roam the stage, collect fan banners and take in the lightstick ocean. London can reasonably bank on at least one English-language track in the closing stretch, plus a last-round roll call of crowd-pleasers where choreography loosens, ad-libs go off-script and the O2 turns into a mass karaoke session before the house lights finally come up.
Essential tips for the TWICE O2 show what to wear travel advice and bag policy
Between costume changes on stage and the Victoria line crush on the way home, you’ll want an outfit that balances fandom and practicality. Think cozy trainers (you’ll be on your feet for hours),light layers you can tie around your waist,and a clear rainproof jacket if you’re queuing outside – TWICE-inspired pastel fits and bead accessories are still fair game,just avoid anything too bulky. Lightsticks, mini banners and phone straps are all part of the K-pop uniform, but keep merch compact enough to stash away easily, and skip heels or heavy bags that’ll slow you down on the concourse.
Getting to North Greenwich is straightforward, but security is tight once you’re there. The arena operates a strict small-bag policy: think A4-sized or smaller, with no large backpacks, suitcases or shopping bags.To keep it simple, pack only the essentials:
- Travel card or contactless (with enough credit for late-night Tube or bus)
- ID, bank card and phone in a secure pocket or crossbody
- Portable charger for those fancam marathons
- Sealed water bottle if permitted, plus light snacks bought before security
- Earplugs if you’re sensitive to volume
| Item | Allowed? | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Small crossbody bag | Yes | Keep under A4 and soft-sided |
| Lightstick | Yes | Check batteries and wrist strap |
| Large backpack | No | Leave at home or in hotel |
| Professional cameras | Usually no | Stick to your phone for photos |
