Loyle Carner has revealed the support acts for his hopefully ! world tour (remaining tickets here), which begins in October and includes four instantly sold-out nights at O2 Academy Brixton.
Joining him across the run will be an impressive line-up: Navy Blue, who features on album track ‘purpose’; Irish rapper Rejjie Snow; French songwriter Léa Sen; and London artist Brian Nasty. Each will appear at select dates throughout the UK, Europe, North America and beyond.
The announcement follows the release of hopefully ! earlier this year, Carner’s highest-charting and fastest-selling album to date, debuting at number two in the UK. Described by The Guardian as “his most impressive work yet” and hailed by The London Standard as “one of the best artists in the country,” the record sees Carner expanding into new territory, blending diaristic rap with forays into singing, producing and live instrumentation.
The project has already made its mark onstage, with Carner headlining Glastonbury’s Other Stage the weekend of release, joined by guests including Sampha and Jorja Smith. His summer also included a surprise headline set at We Out Here Festival after Michael Kiwanuka was forced to cancel, and the launch of his hopefully ! merch line, which sold out instantly.
With sold-out residencies at Brixton and major arena dates stretching well into 2026, the hopefully ! tour cements Carner’s status as one of the UK’s most vital voices.
