What's on

One night only: Friday, 24 July 2026 from 7:30 pm. This is OMAR's first-ever Peterborough date, part of a wider UK tour. Expect the full arsenal of soul and funk that's made him a cult favourite across three decades—whether you caught him in the '90s or you're discovering him fresh.

The vibe

The Met Lounge is an intimate mid-sized venue, so you'll get genuine presence rather than stadium anonymity. OMAR performs with real musicianship; think live instrumentation, silky vocals, and the kind of grooves that make you actually want to move. It's sophisticated without being stuffy—smart dressing encouraged, pretension not.

Getting tickets

Tickets are available through the usual channels. Prices vary depending on when you book—early birds tend to be keener value. Standard capacity seating, 18+ event, so bring ID. Given it's his first Peterborough show, don't sleep on availability.

Where to stay

Peterborough's city centre is compact and well-served. We've picked a selection of hotels within walking distance or a short taxi ride from The Met Lounge, so you can make an evening of it without worrying about the drive home.

Getting there

From London King's Cross, you're looking at roughly 50 minutes by direct train. Manchester is about two hours; Leeds around three. If you're driving, Peterborough is straightforward via the A1(M). Parking near the venue is reasonable, or the train station is a short walk from the city centre.
