The Dreamville founder and Roc Nation’s first signing, J. Cole brings The Fall-Off Tour to The O2 arena, his first solo headline run in five years.
J. Cole, the first artist Roc Nation signed and the founder of Dreamville, brings The Fall-Off Tour to The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Monday 19 October 2026. It is his first solo headline run in five years.
Jermaine Cole was born on an American army base in Frankfurt in 1985 and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He moved to New York to study communications at St John’s while making beats.
He waited outside Jay-Z’s office with a demo and was turned away, but Roc Nation signed him in 2009. Every album since has gone platinum, and 2014 Forest Hills Drive did it without a single guest feature.
His label, Dreamville, is home to JID, Ari Lennox, Bas and EarthGang. He has won two Grammy Awards, and his records favour long verses and ordinary lives over spectacle.
The Fall Off was announced, delayed and rumoured for the better part of a decade before it came out in February 2026, marketed as his last album. He returns to the arena on Tuesday 20 October and Monday 2 November, on his first full global tour in nearly ten years.
