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.
Judging from previous tour spots, expect Central Cee to come on stage at around 8.45pm – though, as always, get down early to avoid disappointment. Curfew is 11pm.

The eye-watering cost of glamping at Glastonbury with two teenage daughters: ‘It's the same as a fortnight in Greece'
It's Saturday night, close to midnight, in a field in Somerset. I am with my daughters Clemmie, 16, and Sasha, 18, gyrating, as much as the thousands of surrounding sequin-clad bodies allow us, and bellowing along to rapper Central Cee and his unprintable lyrics about b***hes and obscure sexual positions. Right behind us Zoe Ball is keeping an eye on her teenage daughter, who's in the thick of the rapturous crowd. Beside her, going almost unnoticed, rapper Stormzy is quietly grooving along. Welcome to Glastonbury, which I remember as a gathering in the boonies for smelly hippies, where you bought a ticket, without queuing, for £58 from your local record shop (or you simply climbed over the fence). Today it has morphed into the event of the summer, with more than 2.5 million people trying to get their hands on the 200,000 available tickets, paying £378.50 to watch some of the biggest stars in music. Highlights of this year's festival, which starts on Wednesday (and on the BBC on Friday), include Olivia Rodrigo, Rod Stewart, the 1975 and Alanis Morissette. To spend eight hours a day seeing everything Glastonbury offers over five days would take an estimated 30 years. Still, for the past couple of years my family has given it a good go. For me, it's extra poignant because I'm a returning veteran. I first hit Worthy Farm (the rest of the year the site's a working dairy farm) fresh out of college in 1993, subsequently completing four Glastos in a row. That run ended after the miserable mudbaths of 1997 and 1998. Yet, two children later, two years ago I braced myself to return. The girls had finished their A-levels and GCSEs, and Sasha was desperate to see her idol Lana Del Rey, who was headlining the Other Stage. The clincher was the camping situation. Glastonbury diehards deem me pathetic, but even when I was young and gung-ho I loathed sleeping on a deflated airbed under sweaty canvas in a sardine-packed field, with no washing for five days. And let's not even discuss the portable loos, which – in rainy years – overflowed. Yet during my absence, upmarket glamping sites have sprung up all around the festival's edges. Ours cost the same as a fortnight in Greece (we're talking at least £2,000 for five nights in a pre-erected bell tent, slightly cheaper if you bring your own bedding, more if you stay in one of the sites that boasts extras such as swimming pools). But not struggling with guy ropes, sleeping on a camp bed under a duvet, with access to hot water and flushing toilets is priceless. The overall cost for the three of us when you add up food, ticket price, accommodation and getting there comes in at around £3,580. It's the cost of a holiday so I decided to treat it exactly like one, putting my out-of-office on, and carving out the budget to pay for it. Accommodation sorted, next was the business of not humiliating my daughters. When I was a teenager, the notion of going to a festival with my parents would have been preposterous. But times have changed. I've never been clubbing with the girls, but they're happy to watch with bemusement as I sing along word-perfect at the sets of Gen X idols such as Blondie (Debbie Harry very much still rocking it at 79). In return, I accompany them in shimmying to Gen Z favourites The Last Dinner Party and the aforesaid Del Rey, where at Sasha's insistence we push up to the stage barrier. 'This is the best moment of my life!' she screams. Yet 30 minutes later, Lana still hasn't appeared – not unusual diva behaviour, but unacceptable by Glasto's hyper-organised standards. She mutters an excuse about having to do her hair. 1993 Forty-five minutes in, having exceeded the midnight curfew, she's abruptly cut off. We see her on her knees begging a sound man in a fleece to continue, but he's unswayed. Sasha's devastated. I give her a lecture about professionalism and the importance of punctuality. 'Shut up, Mum,' she yells. I can't pretend I'm completely down with the kids. There are moments when I sound like the High Court judge who'd never heard of The Beatles – take the moment the girls freak out at the sight of the rapper Aitch passing in a limousine. 'Ooh, is that H from Steps?' I ask excitedly, while the girls groan in humiliation. Sometimes we go our separate ways – me to see my teenage heartthrob Billy Idol, now fronting Generation Sex, and them to Weyes Blood (who?). But most of the time the girls stick gratifyingly by my side, keeping their normal caustic comments about 'cringe' mum dancing to themselves and humouring my Eddie-from-Ab-Fab delusions that I've still got it. Although this may be less out of daughterly devotion and more about accessing my credit card, allowing them to shop at the numerous vintage stalls and hundreds of food stands serving everything from fish and chips to Tibetan momo (I didn't know what they were either, but they were delicious). Newbies are always shocked by Glastonbury's vastness: it's the size of 500 football pitches. Without even trying, you're managing 30,000 steps a day. There are other unintended health benefits: being in mum mode means I'm infinitely better behaved than I was in yesteryear: barely touching alcohol. The pathetic phone signal also means I manage the longest digital detox since the invention of the iPhone. Naturally I spend a lot of time nagging my offspring about using sunscreen, staying hydrated and eating at least some vegetables – all things I never did back in the day (but no need to tell them that). At the same time, my presence halts any bad behaviour from the girls – they grumble a bit but bedtime's a strict 1am latest. What hasn't changed is that – so long as the sun's shining (anyone who claims festivals are fun in the rain has eaten too many magic mushrooms) – Glastonbury is still the most blissful way you can spend a midsummer weekend. For family bonding it can't be surpassed. I declare the experience 'peng', only to be reprimanded, 'Mum, that word's so 2020 – we say 'fire' now.' I'm gutted that this year both girls are behaving exactly as young-adult offspring should and choosing to holiday with friends, rather than hang out at Glasto with me. I ask, wheedlingly, if they now think I'm cool. 'Your dancing's still sub-par,' Sasha says. Clemmie says: 'I don't want you to be cool. I want you to be my mum.'

'We made a change after Covid that's let us quit our jobs to travel the world'
Ryan Losasso and Jade Beaty, 30, are now known as Live The Dash and travel across the world filming their exploits for their TikTok account, which is followed by 505,000 people A couple quit their desk jobs and now travel the world full-time after discovering what they had captured on holiday. Ryan Losasso and Jade Beaty, 30, are now known as Live The Dash, one of the biggest UK travel creators with 505,000 followers on TikTok. They live a life many dream of, getting paid to whizz around the world to intriguing destinations. The advertising workers had not planned to become full-time TikTok content creators. In fact, it wasn't until they returned from a big six-month trip at the turn of the Covid lockdowns that they realised what they were sitting on. "We had all this video content when the world shut down, and we had a lot of time on our hands. So we turned to this huge stock of footage," Ryan told the Mirror. "We set ourselves a challenge of posting a video every day for 30 days. Then when some of that did really well, it spurred us on. We continued to post every day for six months." Do you have a travel story to share? Email webtravel@ READ MORE: Tourist warning to 10 million as Europe's hottest capital on alert Jade added: "It was surprising how quickly we got through that content. On a walk in Spain, the videos were doing quite well, and we realised we were going to run out of content soon. We started joking that we'd start going on trips." At first, the couple juggled their desk jobs with travel, booking themselves onto the cheapest flight out after they clocked off on a Friday and returning on Sunday. Two years ago, they decided to go full time. The risk has clearly paid off, as Jade and Ryan are among the most watched travel TikTok channels and won the platform's Travel Award for 2024. Part of the secret to their success is putting in the research hours before they go on a trip and then only travelling when they've landed on a great idea. That might be heading to New York to see if the hallowed 'dollar slice' of pizza can still be purchased, or around the UK in search for a genuine 99p 99 whippy. They've also spent the night on the fastest sleeper train in the world, which rushes snoozing passengers from Hong Kong to Shanghai. "Was it amazing? The tech is amazing, but you're sharing with three other strangers. It reaches 270 mph, but it's super smooth," Ryan explained. "For TikTok specifically, we have our hooks before we go. We film all we can, we film the journey, we film two intros, two hooks. We bet on all the horses." The search for something new that will engage their audiences takes the pair to places they might otherwise not have visited, which often turn out to be the most enjoyable. READ MORE: Brits warned of travel chaos as European airport hit by 10th walkout in 45 days "Somewhere I wasn't expecting much from was Weston-super-mare. It had a lot of cheap whippies. It is obviously a faded Victorian seaside town, but the beach is gorgeous," Ryan said. Jade added: "We also like to hunt out weird hotels. We stayed in a cow cabin with unlimited free milk, near Ed Sheeran's hometown, called Easton Farm Park. We also stayed in these huge tree houses in Derby." The old adage of 'if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life' seems true in the couple's case. They still have the travel bug and are hugely excited by their trips. Part of that means pushing themselves to engage with people they meet along the way. "We have this rule that whenever we're on the plane, we have to speak to the person next to us. One guy told us 'do what excites you'. Six years later, we still tell ourselves that. We call it Conrad's message." The couple also recommends running every day and practicing good communication for travelling couples who want to avoid arguments while on the road. In terms of finding inspiration, they recommend using the adjustable 'For You' feed on TikTok. It is now possible to customise content preferences so you can see more or less of certain content in topics from over 10 categories – including travel, sports, nature, and food and drink An AI-powered 'smart keyword filter" that allows users to limit content they don't want to see'. "The For You feed is the heart of TikTok, a way for us to discover new content. We use the new features, manage topics, and think it's really cool that you can filter which topics you want to see more or less of."
