Jay Chou will be bringing his world tour to The O2 on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 January 2024.
Often referred to as the “King of Mandopop,” Jay’s latest album, Greatest Works of Art, was an internationally bestselling album in 2022. The album's title track's music video rapidly garnered over 140 million views on Weibo within a single day, and the album has since exceeded 1 billion views on various platforms.
Notably, Jay Chou secured the highest global album sales last year, marking a historic achievement as the first Mandopop artist to do so. The IFPI 2022 Global Album Sales Chart, which accounts for both physical and digital album sales worldwide, ranked Chou at the top.

113 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FULL MONTY
Based on the hit Brit-flick, The Full Monty follows a group of unemployed men who decide to try their hand at something very different to pay the bills.

What is the story? Stuck waiting to cash their dole with no job prospects in sight, two pals, Jerry and Dave are struck with inspiration from an unlikely source; their own wives' excitement at a local Chippendales engagement. Figuring they might be able to create their own, even racier version, they set about gathering a dance troupe with hilarious results. Starring Jake Quickenden as Gaz.
