Chase & Status, the duo who carried drum and bass from the underground to a BRIT Award and a number one, play two nights at The O2 behind their seventh album.
Chase & Status, BRIT Award winners for Producer of the Year, play The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 April 2027. The two nights follow their seventh studio album, Generic Everything.
Saul Milton and Will Kennard met in London, then again as students in Manchester. They began releasing drum and bass in 2003, and Andy C signed their debut album, More Than Alot, to his RAM Records in 2008.
No More Idols followed in 2011, with “End Credits” made with Plan B. They also produced for Rihanna and for Rita Ora, whose “R.I.P.” went to number one.
A second rise began in 2023 with 2 Ruff Vol 1, whose single “Baddadan” spent more than 15 weeks in the UK top ten. In 2024 “Backbone”, made with Stormzy, became their first UK number one.
Kennard founded the East London Arts and Music school in 2014. The duo last played the arena on 3 May 2025. These two nights are a live show rather than a DJ set, and the tour’s only London dates.
The album, set for October 2026, brings in J Hus, Little Simz, Skrillex and Giggs.
