Sombr has announced details of a last minute, intimate gig at London’s KOKO.

The new show will take place later this week, and comes fresh off the singer-songwriter making his debut performance on Saturday Night Live, and securing Grammy Award nomination in the coveted Best New Artist category.

Set to take place at KOKO in Camden, the gig will be a one-off show, held on Friday (November 21).

It comes as a warm-up to the UK and European tour dates Sombre has planned for 2026, which will see him play in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Italy and more throughout February and March, before heading back to the UK for shows in London, Manchester, Birmingham and more.

Tickets to the one-off intimate gig in London later this week will be available from 10am GMT on Wednesday (November 19). Visit here to buy tickets.

All live shows come in celebration of Sombr releasing his debut album ‘I Barely Know Her’ in August.

That album was given a four-star NME review, which read “‘I Barely Know Her’ is an album driven by heartache but that hasn’t stopped Sombr from creating a gloriously dynamic record that’s less about misery and more about catharsis. It’s sad boy indie with a smirk.”
