Not a season ticket holder? Here's how to get Premier League 25/26 tickets as season begins this weekend
Here's how you can be a part of the Premier League this season.
Just when you thought the football season was over, it starts up all over again – it's like the back to school shop but more fun! Last year, Liverpool scored their 20th league title under the management of Arne Slot in his first season. Meanwhile, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle secured a place in the Champion's League race with top five finishes. Leeds have returned to the Premier League after a two-year absence and Burnley came back at the first time of asking. They will be joined by Sunderland, who got promoted to the Premiership for the first time since 2017 after emerging triumphant from the Championship Play-off Final. This season, we're expecting just as much drama with Ange Postecoglou's replacement now named as Thomas Frank from Brentford and Crystal Palace taking their first-ever step into Europe. In short, it's a season that's been filled with intrigue from the off, and you won't want to miss a second of it. So, here's everything you need to know about how to get tickets to the 25/26 Premier League season, even if you don't have a membership.

ABBA Voyage is a live concert performed entirely by CGI versions of the four members of ABBA. The singers don’t appear in person but have instead recorded their voices and body movements to be transformed into 3D avatars (or ABBAtars). Together, the reunited couples sing 22 of their greatest hits including Voulez-Vous, Lay All Your Love on Me and Thank You for the Music. They also perform perfectly choreographed dances and play virtual instruments, all the while getting backed by a live 10-piece band. The show runs every Thursday to Monday with concerts usually taking place at 3pm or 7:45pm. In the audience, you can party from a seat, or book a spot on the dancefloor in the middle where you’ll find the other dancing queens. You can also hire a private booth for you and your super troop.

The four avatars were created and designed by Industrial Light & Magic, a visual effects company responsible for the CGI in the Star Wars and Marvel films. With motion capture technology, Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid appear life-like on stage to perform the full setlist, complete with singing, dancing and piano-playing. All members of the band were involved in the creation of the concert, which makes it unsurprising that the avatars are younger versions of themselves. But with the lighting, sound, and cutting-edge special effects, you’d never know that nearly 50 years had passed since they first stepped onto the stage at Eurovision. The singing was done by the present-day band members who performed the song set over the course of five weeks while wearing motion-capture suits. The choreography is also based on the Swedes’ real movements but was actually filmed by younger body doubles. Then, on the night, all of this is put together into one seamless projection and is backed by a real band.

The ABBA Voyage Arena is split into three main categories: dance floor, dance booths and the seating blocks. If you're looking for a boogie, then we'd recommend the dance floor, which is right in front of the stage. From experience, the floor doesn't tend to get too cramped or crowded and you can see the action from any vantage point. If you'd rather sit, however, reports have said that the best place to sit is Block H, specifically the centre section – from there, you should have a perfect view of the ABBAtars, but won't feel like you're too far from the stage. If you're going in a big group, there are eight dance booths at the arena, and each have capacity for 10-12 people. You can book the whole booth, or individual tickets. With the booth, you have your own dance floor and dedicated booth bar.

How to beat the Ticketmaster queue: Top tips for securing tickets
We’ve put together some top tips and tricks to improve your chances of bagging those all-important concert tickets.
Ah, Ticketmaster. We haven’t had a love/hate relationship like this since Crocs came back into fashion. It's fair to say the ticketing giant has had its ups and downs in recent years, but that doesn't stop us practically kissing the screen when we get the notification that says we’re next in the queue to see our favourite artist. On the flipside, we all know that gut-punch feeling when we're 28,000th in the queue and can see any chance of affordable tickets slipping through our fingers. Last September, following the heat around Oasis tickets, Ticketmaster changed its systems to move away from so-called 'dynamic pricing'. The retailer is now required to tell fans 24 hours in advance if a tiered pricing system will be used for a sale, and they will also have to display information about ticket prices throughout online queues. Here at RadioTimes.com, we're on hand to help you navigate the trying Ticketmaster world. Read on for top tips and tricks to beat the Ticketmaster queue, including how to sign up to presale release, what devices to queue on, and the crucial refresh rules. Based in the UK? Create a Ticketmaster account In Ireland? Create a Ticketmaster account America based? Create a Ticketmaster account Here's a sneak preview of the best concerts and tours. How to get pre-sale tickets on Ticketmaster Firstly, what is a presale? Presale tickets are available to buy before they’re released to the general public. It’s a way for artists' biggest fans to get early access. There are a few ways you can sign up for presale tickets, for example, by joining an artist's mailing list or purchasing their most recent record. You can also get access through a network provider like O2 and Three UK, through event organisers like Live Nation, and credit card companies like American Express and Mastercard. Some venues, such as OVO Hydro in Glasgow and Co-op Live in Manchester, also hold presales. Event organisers like Live Nation will send email alerts about their upcoming presales, and the best way to find out if an artist is hosting a presale is by following them on social media. Not already an O2 customer? Switch for O2 Priority deals Thinking of switching to Three UK? Check out the offers We've put together guides on how does the O2 Priority pre-sale work on Ticketmaster, how does the Mastercard pre-sale work on Ticketmaster and how does the Three+ pre-sale work on Ticketmaster. How can I improve my chances of getting tickets on Ticketmaster? So you’ve missed out on presale tickets, and now you’re preparing for the dreaded general on sale. Here are our top tips for beating the Ticketmaster queue. Create a Ticketmaster account in advance If you don’t already have a Ticketmaster account, create one before general on sale tickets are released. With an account, you can save your address and payment card details, so you don’t have to rush to type them all in when you’re trying to book. The queuing and buying process can be quite stressful, so having this information already stored will give you the chance to double-check you’re happy with your purchase and the cost. It's worth noting that there are different Ticketmaster sites depending on where you live. For example, UK based concert goers will visit Ticketmaster.co.uk, whereas American ticket buyers will visit Ticketmaster.com, Irish gig lovers will head over to Ticketmaster.ie, and so on. Live in the UK? Create a Ticketmaster account In Ireland? Create a Ticketmaster account America based? Create a Ticketmaster account Did you know you can currently get 5 Seconds of Summer tickets and Florence and the Machine tickets? Make sure you have enough in the bank If you're a multiple card user, make sure that you have enough on the card you're using before tickets go on sale, and pre-settle any payments. Any failed transactions will cost you extra time at checkout, so be sure you're all settled up for a speedier purchase. You can also add your card to your Ticketmaster account before sales go live, which will help you save time at checkout. Load Ticketmaster in one browser window only Although it can be tempting to load Ticketmaster in multiple windows to increase your chances of securing tickets, this will actually hinder you. This is because the Ticketmaster website will only allow you to make one booking at a time, so you might end up losing tickets if you’re flicking between the widows. Instead, we suggest joining the Ticketmaster queue on multiple devices, as we’ll explain in our next tip. Is it better to use the Ticketmaster app or website? Use both! From our experience, buying tickets on the Ticketmaster mobile app is smoother and we seem to get to the front of the queue quicker. A few people online have speculated as to why this might be, suggesting Ticketmaster prioritises mobile sales because scalping bots (software programs which automate online purchasing) don’t work on mobile devices, so it increases your chances of bagging tickets on the initial click. Also, on the mobile app, you bypass the CAPTCHA test, which generally makes the experience faster. Secure internet connection If you lose connection, even for a second, you could have to start a booking all over again. Now, we don’t know about you, but losing our spot after queuing would tempt us to throw our laptops out the window… Make sure you have a reliable connection. Wi-Fi is always better than 4G/5G as you may lose signal. Is your internet letting you down? It might be time to switch providers. You can check out the latest deals in our Sky TV and broadband deals guide. Consider hospitality ticketing options In the last couple of years, we've seen ticket prices really increase in price especially for high-demand acts like Oasis and Taylor Swift. In these instances, where you know ticket prices could easily reach £100+, we'd recommend scoping out hospitality options. Yes, hospitality options are generally more expensive but they can often start at £150 and, for that price, you are guaranteed a good seat and often other benefits such as programmes, food, drinks and early access. Sites such as Seat Unique often have less of a queue than the main sites like Ticketmaster, so tickets can be easier to come by. Take a look at hospitality tickets at Seat Unique When can you join the waiting room on Ticketmaster? It would be fantastic if you could join the Ticketmaster queue as soon as an artist announces they’re going on tour; we’d be up at the crack of dawn, days before presale, with a tab open. But, alas, you can’t do that. On the day of the ticket sale, get onto the site ten minutes before the tickets are released, then refresh the page 10 seconds before the release time to improve your chances of getting to the front of the queue. For example, if tickets go on sale at 9am on a Friday morning, hop on the Ticketmaster site at 8:50am, then refresh the page 10 seconds before 9am. Can I refresh the Ticketmaster queue page? Absolutely under no circumstances do you refresh the Ticketmaster page while you’re in the queue! When you're in the queue, your spot will be automatically updated, so avoid refreshing the page as tempting as it may be. If you do refresh, you may lose your place and be booted to the back of the queue. Do these tips apply to other ticketing releases, like sports? Although we’ve spoken exclusively about concerts here, this advice applies to all ticket releases on Ticketmaster, such as festivals and sporting events. Based in the UK?

You may have heard the term 'Rush ticket' before, but what does it actually mean? And how do you get one?
With prices for West End theatre shows staying high and the most popular shows booked up months in advance, sometimes you have to look at other methods to get yourself a seat in the audience. So, when it comes to getting cheap theatre tickets or last-minute ones, we'd recommend taking a look at Rush tickets. These same-day seats are a great way of seeing that musical you've been hearing all about, and at a lower cost. From legacy shows like Hamilton to newer additions like Woman in Mind, you can get Rush tickets for all sorts of West End offerings.

Although there are other ticketing sites that offer last-minute bookings, TodayTix covers a lot of West End shows , and has a very easy method for bagging last-minute seats. It's worth noting that just because there are Rush tickets available doesn't mean that there aren't better prices out there.

How to get Wimbledon 2026 tickets if you missed out on the public ballot
Here's how you can grab an early spot at Wimbledon 2026.
Tennis fans, you might not be feeling too bouncy right now because the Wimbledon 2026 ballot is closed. The time to submit your application for attending this year's 139th tournament has passed, with the results of the ballot coming out in February. But, even if you missed out on entering, there's still the Queue and hospitality tickets to come. What a Wimbledon we had this year. Jannik Sinner dethroned two-time reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, becoming the first Italian Wimbledon singles champion in the Open Era. Meanwhile Iga Świątek won her first Wimbledon and sixth Grand Slam title over all after beating Amanda Anisimova, also making history as the first Polish singles champion. We don't know what this year will bring, but we suspect drama, tension and plenty of strawberries and cream. So let's set you up with all the information about how to get there. Buy Wimbledon hospitality tickets at Seat Unique Plus for rugby fans, here's how to get Autumn Internationals tickets and Six Nations 2026 tickets. Jump to: When is Wimbledon 2026? How to get Wimbledon tickets 2026 How to enter the Public ballot How to buy hospitality tickets What is The Queue? How much do Wimbledon 2026 tickets cost?

(Photo by Rob Newell - CameraSport via Getty Images)" title="Day Thirteen: The Championships - Wimbledon 2024" /> Every year, Wimbledon takes place between the end of June and early July. Here are the official dates of this year’s tournament: 29th Jun – 12th Jul 2026 Play on all outside courts will usually start at 11am, but the Centre Court and No 1 Court will have staggered start times of 1pm and 1:30pm. The finals will take place on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th July, with the Centre Court matches normally starting at 2pm. If you're hoping to get tickets, it's important to remember that men’s singles matches have five sets where all other matches have three, so the men’s matches will last longer! And if you're wondering how exactly to get to Wimbledon, it’s around a 20-minute walk from Wimbledon Park Station (which is on the District Line) or a 25-minute walk from Southfields (also District Line). You can also walk from Wimbledon Station, which is accessible via tram.

(Photo by Rob Newell - CameraSport via Getty Images)" title="Day Fourteen: The Championships - Wimbledon 2024" /> There are three ways to get Wimbledon tickets: the public ballot, through the Queue and through hospitality tickets. We’re going to outline what each of these are. Public ballot for Wimbledon 2026 The public ballot has been a tradition since 1924 and is the most common way of getting tickets to Wimbledon. How it works is: each year the ballot opens for a limited time in September during which you send off an application. Going in the ballot does not guarantee you tickets and it is not possible to request tickets for specific days or courts. Once the ballot has closed, spots will be randomly assigned and you'll find out if you've been lucky enough to get tickets in February. You can only buy up to two tickets per household and once you receive your offer you'll need to pay immediately and in full to secure a place, however, you can also choose to let the tickets go. The public ballot for Wimbledon 2026 is now closed, anyone who entered will find out if they were successful from February. How to buy Wimbledon 2026 hospitality tickets If you miss out on the public ballot, or you want to experience Wimbledon with a splash of luxury, consider hospitality. Official partners like Seat Unique and P1 Travel offer Wimbledon hospitality packages from now and these are often available right up until the tournament begins. These tickets include a range of extra perks and comforts to make your Wimbledon experience more enjoyable, including food, drink and even meeting a tennis legend – but beware, they don’t come cheap. Buy Wimbledon hospitality tickets at Seat Unique Buy Wimbledon hospitality tickets at P1 Travel What is The Queue at Wimbledon? The Queue is a famous part of the Wimbledon tradition where tennis fans try to get tickets on the day of play. Each day, a large Queue forms to buy either a Show Court ticket (which are much more limited) or a Grounds ticket. Tickets are sold on a first-come-first-served, one ticket per person basis and are non-transferable. The Queue starts in Wimbledon Park from the Sunday before the tournament starts. Over the years, the event has become a sort of mini festival, with people bringing tents and food as they wait for around 40 hours to get to the front. It’s a polite and sociable event, and well-worth trying if you’ve never been to Wimbledon before. How much do Wimbledon 2026 tickets cost? The price of Wimbledon tickets entirely depends on what day you attend and what court you visit. For instance, if you visit Court No.3 on the first day of the tournament, your ticket will cost £55, while sitting at No.1 Court during the quarter and semi-finals start at £200. The cheapest tickets you can get are Ground Admission, these cost £21 – £33 and are the perfect solution to those who just want to soak up the atmosphere, eat strawberries and wear a nice hat. Meanwhile the most expensive is of course Centre Court, whose prices range from £80 to £350 across the tournament. How much do Wimbledon hospitality tickets cost and what’s included? Wimbledon hospitality packages are very expensive, with prices starting at over £1,000 per person. However, with these tickets you’re paying for a full Wimbledon experience complete with high-quality food, entertainment, and a great view of the tennis. Every hospitality ticket will include the minimum of a private table, access to the Centre or No.1 Court and a dinner menu. The best tickets will include a private suite, a four-course menu and chauffeur service. Here's a look at the different packages available, and be aware that some are starting to get sold out. Debenture seats The Debenture seats are some of the best on the Centre Court (just above the royal box!). They run for 360 degrees around the court and also gain you access to exclusive restaurants and bars. Buy Wimbledon Debenture seats from £2,039 at Seat Unique Buy Wimbledon Debenture seats from £1,050 at P1 Travel The Lawn The Lawn is for those who prefer a relaxed atmosphere, with a table reserved for just you and your guests.

If you’re taking little ones to Disneyland Paris, this can be easier said than done, however it will save you a fair chunk of money. Is two days enough in Disneyland Paris?

Plus, three days gives you plenty of time to see the various shows and parades. What is the cheapest month to go to Disneyland Paris? Overall, January is the quietest and cheapest month of the year (as it seems to be with everything, ever).

How to get cheap theatre tickets for London’s biggest West End shows
Here's our complete guide to bagging cheap theatre tickets for the UK's top shows, including ones in London's West End.
Savings on top shows can be hard to come by, but if you're keen to find theatre tickets for less, you've come to the right place. First, we'll start with some advice. While this guide offers the best sites and methods for saving on theatre tickets, plus some great deals, there's also an element of luck and timing involved. Almost every show has a limited run in its given theatre, and if you've got a particular show or genre in mind, your chances of getting cheap tickets will be impacted by how in-demand those tickets are and how much of the show's run remains. There are, of course, some shows which have extremely long runs — ahem, The Mousetrap... A top tip is to do your ticket shopping last-minute. Sometimes, if a show hasn't sold enough and there are lots of seats remaining, prices will plummet for last-minute buyers. Even sold-out shows may have tickets returned on the day as people realise they can no longer make it, so it's always worth checking with the box office or online. If you're looking for London shows and can trot along in person, it's worth checking out some of the booths in Leicester Square, which often offer discounted tickets. Finally, it's often cheaper to find theatre tickets outside of the capital. While some of the UK's most renowned shows are put on in the West End and around London, the UK has a thriving theatre scene and there are fantastic shows to be found wherever you're based, as well as musicals on tour. Now, let's help you find them. Plus, check out our Paddington Musical review, as well as our roundup of the best comedians on tour. Jump to: How to get cheap tickets for London's West End shows Best cheap theatre tickets on sale today Best theatre and hotel deals available today How to get cheap tickets for London's West End shows The price of a West End theatre show ticket varies depending on where you sit and what you see. Picking the right show Starting off with what you see. Sometimes limited-run shows will have a higher ticket price as you can only experience it for a limited number of weeks – especially if there's a big star involved – so it's best to look for the plays and musicals with a slightly longer run, i.e. more than six weeks. That being said, a few well-established shows like Les Miserable and the Lion King have some of the highest ticket prices in the business owing to their huge popularity. So ideally you're looking for that sweet spot of a well-established show that isn't one of the classics, think The Devil Wears Prada. Choosing your seat When it comes to seating, you'll pay more for a better, unobstructed view, usually in the stalls or the front of the Grand Circle. However, you'll pay less for a seat higher up in the Royal Circle or near the back, or for the seats where a pillar could potentially block part of the stage. Even then however, there are some cases where a cheaper ticket will be one seat over from one with a so-called unobstructed view. We can't speak for all theatres, but one of our RadioTimes.com writers went to see Wicked and bought cheap seats where the view was supposed to be partially obstructed. However, when they got there, the view was amazing, albeit far away. So, if you're not too bothered about where you sit, we'd recommend picking the cheapest seats to save money. Similarly, if you'd like to go to a West End show for the experience but you're not concerned about which show you see, be sure to select a cheaper one. Use the right ticketing site To get your hands on cheap theatre tickets, Love Theatre is a fantastic destination as they run frequent deals, as do Today Tix, ATG Tickets and London Theatre Direct. You can also look at Ticketmaster, The Ticket Factory and Fever, all of which periodically offer chances to snap up cheap tickets.

West End show weekend breaks and hotel stays If you're travelling to London for a West End show, it makes sense to spend a few days in the city; especially if you're planning on seeing an evening performance which will have you leaving the theatre at around 10pm (that's our bedtime!). There are a number of websites, like Holiday Extras, where you can book your theatre tickets and hotel in one go. You can choose which theatre show you'd love to see, then select how many nights you'll stay around your chosen date, and it'll suggest hotels just a stone's throw away from the theatre. Plus, as it's a package deal — a theatre show and hotel combo — you'll save a couple of quid, too. Book a West End show and hotel stay at Holiday Extras What is the easiest way to get to the West End? Travelling to the West End when you live outside of London can seem like a mean feat. But we're here to reassure you that it can be done with minimal faff and on a budget, too. Train timetables are usually released 12 weeks in advance, and train operators put cheap train tickets on sale shortly afterwards. The nearer your travel date, the more expensive the train tickets will be, so be sure to snap up tickets as soon as possible. Railcards are also a great way to save a couple of quid on your travel — 1/3 of the total ticket fare to be precise. Find the right Railcard for you at Trainline. If you live too far away from London to comfortably travel there and back in one day, and let's face it, a lot of us do, you may want to consider an overnight stay. Airbnb offers private rooms and entire homes all across London, so you're bound to find somewhere that fits your budget. If you’re planning a trip abroad, read our financial expert's advice on what to consider before going on holiday. Can you get theatre gift vouchers for London? Wondering what could be the perfect gift for your theatre-loving friend or family member?

How to get cheap London Eye tickets, advance and last-minute bookings
Got your sights set on a trip to London this year? You can't miss a visit to the London Eye.
The London Eye – or Millennium Wheel – has long been one of London's most iconic attractions. Pulling in over three million visitors per year, the tourist spot offers spectacular views of the capital, with clear days offering a view of up to 40km away. The wheel was first designed in 1993 as a way of marking the millennium and, like the Eiffel Tower, was intended to be temporary. But in 2002, Lambeth Council granted the Eye a permanent license, allowing this glorious structure to stand on London's Southbank for years to come. What's more, the Eye now plays a key role in the UK's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display, and of course it's seen thousands of proposals within its 32 pods. But, if we had to pick one draw back, it would be the cost. Like most London attractions, the London Eye isn't cheap, so below we've pulled together a full list of the best ways to save on entry tickets. Whether it's through buying multi-attraction combos, or getting your booking in well in advance, we've outlined all the ways to save money.

Despite the recently skyrocketing demand for tickets, there are plenty of general access tickets remaining for artists touring the UK in 2026. All remaining tickets have been included alongside the artists in the list above. It's no secret that the ticketing industry has changed greatly in the past few years, as demand for live shows has soared post-pandemic. This means that nowadays it's often extremely difficult to get your hands on concert tickets for large venues like the O2, Wembley Stadium or the Eventim Apollo, especially if the artist is a household name. As it becomes increasingly difficult to get tickets for tours and concerts, there is a major way to get around this: purchasing hospitality tickets. Due to their increased price, hospitality tickets aren't an option for everyone. However, if you have the disposable income, you're more likely to get your hands on hospitality tickets rather than general access as there is lower demand. Out of the artists listed above, those who have hospitality tickets still available are listed with ticketing sites like Seat Unique and Ticketmaster, where tickets are still available. Who else is rumoured to tour the UK in 2026? While nothing has been confirmed just yet, there are plenty of rumours circulating about who will be next to announce their UK tour dates. 2026 will see the 50th anniversary of Irish rockers U2. The band have been known to celebrate anniversaries in the past with tours and performances, so we wouldn't be surprised if announcement comes our way soon. Fred Again recently released an album, with USB arriving on 12th December 2025, which makes us think that a USB tour could be on the horizon... Be sure to check back so we can keep you up-to-date with all the last UK tour rumours.

How to get Six Nations 2026 tickets for men's and women's rugby matches
Here's everything you need to know about how to get tickets to next year's Six Nations.
For the rugby super-fan in your life, there's nothing better than a trip to the Six Nations. This mainstay of the rugby season is an international tournament of titans that just gets better every year – so here's how to get tickets. Last time around, the results came down to a tense final day with France, England, and Ireland all in the mixer for the trophy. France triumphed on bonus points, earning the trophy for the seventh time. Meanwhile, the Red Roses secured a whopping 19th Grand Slam after beating France by a single point at Twickenham. So, if you fancy catching a game on your home turf or flying out to combine your love of rugby with a cheeky holiday, we've got you covered. Here's how you can snag last-minute tickets to the Men's or Women's Six Nations match of your choice today.

How much do Six Nations 2026 tickets cost? It's no secret that rugby tickets have got a lot more expensive in recent years, often starting at around £60 for the big matches at Twickenham (AKA the Allianz Stadium). As we draw nearer, these prices will continue to go up, so if you're looking to score a cheaper seat, we'd suggest looking behind the posts or at the very back, where tickets will start at a much lower price. However, the best way to see rugby for less is to simply go to a women's match! Tickets for the 2026 Women's Six Nations started from just £5.

Best comedians and comedy shows touring the UK in 2026 – and how to get tickets
There's nothing funny about how much we want tickets to these comedy tours.
In the midst of planning what your 2026 will look like, it's always a good idea to schedule in some laughs among the bills, budgets and, well, general drudgery. So if it's laughter you want – and we're not just talking polite titters, we mean back-bending, tears-inducing belly laughs – what better place to start than a comedy show? Luckily for you, there are a huge line-up of star-studded comedians touring the UK in 2026 and 2027. Some of them, like Scottish icon Susan Calman, have not been on tour in over a decade, while others are still going with shows that have been on since 2022 – all bow to Peter Kay. But whether it's Rob Beckett, Josh Widdicombe or even John Mulaney you're planning to see, all these comedians have committed themselves to traversing the entire country with their shows, so you won't have to travel far between them. Plus, all the shows below have tickets still available, so let's stop joking around and show you what the new year has to offer.

According to Deadline, the show is planning a summer 2027 run at The Barbican Theatre, which is also set to host Call the Midwife's Helen George in High Society, next May. Sunday in the Park With George is a Tony-Award winning musical that has been dubbed by some as the world’s most acclaimed musical. Written by Sondheim and James Lapine, the show is based around George Seurat's famous painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The adaptation follows Seurat as he struggles to complete what would become his masterpiece, becoming overwhelmed by his need to finish the hat. As a result, he isolates himself from everyone important to him, including long-time lover Dot. Ariana Grande has recently confirmed she'll be taking a break from popstardom after finishing up her 2026 Eternal Sunshine tour. Speaking on Good Hang with Amy Poehler she said: “I'm very excited to do this small tour. But I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time. "I’m going to give it my all, and it’s going to be beautiful, and I’m so grateful. I think that’s why I’m doing it. Because I’m like, one last hurrah. For now.” Jonathan Bailey has likewise shared that he'll be pausing acting work to focus on his charity, The Shameless Fund. Which means a 2027 musical run would line up for both. Bailey recently starred in Bridge Theatre's Richard II while Grande has never appeared on the West End stage. Let's hope, for the sake of Glinda and Fiyero fans, an announcement comes soon.

Paranormal Activity review: Theatre horror that startles rather than haunts
Spooky things are afoot at the West End.
Directed by Felix Barrett and written by Levi Holloway, Paranormal Activity makes the jump from screen to stage with a new adaptation that leans into atmosphere and theatrical surprise rather than outright terror. Horror, at its best, is rarely just about scaring audiences. It often explores deeper emotional and psychological ideas, and Holloway is clearly interested in that territory. In an interview with Radio Times, he spoke about how "people are haunted. When two people bring their ghosts into a marriage, sometimes something goes wrong". That idea sits at the centre of this story, which follows American couple Lou and James after their move from Chicago to the UK. Played by Melissa James and Patrick Heusinger, the pair give committed performances, grounding the production in a recognisable, and often uncomfortable, domestic realism. From the outset, cracks in the relationship are apparent. Moments of tension and miscommunication underpin the supernatural elements that begin to creep in. Where the production truly leans into its strengths is in its theatricality. This is a production that understands what live theatre can offer horror: not just performance, but space and sound too. Flickering lights, darkness and sudden bursts of noise all contribute to the uneasy atmosphere, but the design is doing much of the heavy lifting. Designed by Fly Davis, the two-storey house that forms the set becomes almost an actor in itself. The action unfolds across multiple rooms and levels, allowing the staging to play with audience expectations and perspectives. There are moments that shock in the instant and others that linger longer, leaving you replaying them once you’ve left the theatre. As a piece of stage horror, Paranormal Activity favours tension and surprise over lasting dread. It may not leave you afraid to turn off the lights at home, but in the moment, it delivers some genuinely effective shocks. On its own terms, that’s largely where it succeeds. When and where can I see Paranormal Activity? Paranormal Activity is running at London's Ambassadors Theatre from now until 28th March 2026. You can find tickets at LOVETheatre from £29.

Paranormal Activity writer on why the found footage format was ditched for West End adaptation
Ever wondered how a beloved found footage series translates to the West End stage? Levi Holloway has found a way.
Nearly two decades after Paranormal Activity premiered at US film festival Screamfest, the franchise is making a surprising return to modern day horror, with an all-new adaptation at London’s West End. Written by Levi Holloway, the production began life at Leeds Playhouse in 2023, before travelling across the US and now settling into the Ambassadors Theatre until next March. However, this new version packs a sizeable shift from the original film series, as Holloway and director Felix Barrett decided that the film’s signature found-footage style was "not translatable to the stage in practice". The solution, Holloway says, was to strip the franchise "down to its essence – the feeling that the audience is seeing something they shouldn’t". Working with Barrett, and the wider creative team, they created a world where “in a play about ghosts,” Holloway sees “the real ghosts on stage are the story makers”. Inspiration for the play didn’t just come from the original movie. Holloway and Barrett swapped “stories back and forth. Books that made us put them down because we were genuinely scared”, diving into the works of Arthur Machen, MR James and Charles Dickens. They also revisited classic films like Don’t Look Now, When a Stranger Calls and Rosemary’s Baby to help define the play’s tone. “Horror is personal,” Holloway says. “The only question we can really ask is: what scares us?” And, while the franchise comes with a huge fanbase, the team “weren’t constrained by fan expectations; we just wanted to make a good play”. The story retains some familiar beats, but tonal faithfulness mattered far more than literal replication. Fans will spot subtle Easter eggs, but nothing that would confuse newcomers. As with any horror media, you can expect scares, but it’s also a genre built on emotional and psychological tension. Holloway’s adaptation, like the original, centres on a married couple, James and Lou, who move from Chicago to London. “I wanted to write about the way people try to connect,” he explains. “People are haunted. We carry all kinds of things with us […] then when two people bring their ghosts into a marriage, sometimes something goes wrong”. Those themes sit at the heart of the production, no matter how familiar audiences are with the film. Paranormal Activity famously had trailers showing audiences screaming and clutching one another in cinemas. Theatre, Holloway argues, taps into the same instinct. “When you watch a horror play in real time, you sanity-check with your neighbour,” he says. “’Are you scared too?’ ‘Yeah, I’m scared too.’ And that binds you.” He’s witnessed complete strangers hold onto each other during performances: “It’s pretty incredible.” Ultimately, Holloway doesn’t want audiences to leave simply feeling scared. “I hope they see themselves in the work somehow,” he says. “I want them to ask what would they do, how would they react, and when they go home wonder if they can really turn off the lights before they go sleep.” Buy Paranormal Activity tickets from £29 at LOVEtheatre How to get Paranormal Activity West End tickets Tickets to see this thrilling stage production are on sale right now.
