Sammy Virji played the biggest UK headline shows of his career over two nights in the Great Hall, the first added because of demand.
The Great Hall at Alexandra Palace in Wood Green held the biggest UK headline shows of Sammy Virji’s career on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 April 2026. The UK garage DJ added the Friday because of demand.
Samuel Virji was born in London in 1996 and grew up in Witney, Oxfordshire. His first musical love was Michael Jackson, and he began on piano and guitar before making tracks on GarageBand.
He studied biology at Newcastle University and left in his third year to make music full time. His early records from 2015 were bassline, and his later work moved to UK garage.
He has since played a Radio 1 Essential Mix and sets at Coachella and Forest Hills Stadium. He has worked with Skepta, Chris Lake, Flowdan and Giggs.
The Palace nights followed his second album, Same Day Cleaning, released the previous September. It was his first headline run at the Palace.
