Presented by the cosmic opera with Virginia Symphony Orchestra - August 23 Chartway Arena

Labrinth will release Cosmic Opera: Act 2 on May 29, 2026, ushering in the next chapter of his expansive musical universe, followed by the highly anticipated The Undoing Tour – Presented by the cosmic opera—a seven-city U.S. run including Norfolk, Virginia on August 23 at 7:30 pm presented by Virginia Arts Festival and Chartway Arena.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 24 at 12 Noon and will be available at vafest.org and chartwayarena.com; 757-282-2822, or in person at the Virginia Arts Festival Box Office (440 Bank Street, Norfolk) and Chartway Arena Box Office (4320 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk)

Renowned for his boundless creativity and genre-defying sound, the British artist first burst onto the global stage with his 2012 debut Electric Earth, featuring the chart-topping hit “Beneath Your Beautiful.” Since then, Labrinth has collaborated with an extraordinary roster of artists including Sia, Diplo, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and The Weeknd, while earning critical acclaim—and multiple GRAMMY nominations and a win—for his work on HBO’s Euphoria.

Now, following the success of Cosmic Opera: Act 1, Labrinth continues his bold artistic journey with Act 2, further expanding a deeply introspective, cinematic soundscape that blends pop, R&B, hip-hop, electronic, rock, and orchestral influences. Hailed as “a fearless journey through his inner universe,” this project invites audiences into a fully immersive world of sound and storytelling. Experience the vision live this summer as Labrinth brings Cosmic Opera to the stage in an unforgettable concert event.
