Pharrell Williams himself then performs at the arena for two nights on 9th and 10th October.

Supporting Pharrell will be industry newcomer Foxes, who won a Grammy for featuring on Clarity which was titled Best Dance Track.
Two-time Brit Award winner and recipient of an Ivor Novello, Ed Sheeran promotes his 2014 album, X (read as multiply), with four nights at The O2 in mid-October.

Later in the month, Lady GaGa brings her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball to the venue and Paolo Nutini performs his first-ever headline performance at The O2 as part of his biggest UK tour to date.
