O2 Academy Islington August-September Lineup

Monday, August 3, 2026 - O2 Academy Islington, London

• LOVEBITES

Lovebites launch the O2 Academy Islington August–September lineup on 3 August 2026, opening the run with a focused hit of heavy, power and neoclassical metal. The j-rock outfit’s sound leans into rapid-fire riffing and melodic leads, pushing their power metal side hard in a relatively intimate setting. With the rest of the series stretching through August into September, this first night frames the bolder metal edge of the programme. For anyone tracking how the venue programmes metal alongside other styles across the run, Lovebites provide the starting point and heaviest early statement.
