Directioners, your time is running out. Zayn Malik, the iconic former One Direction star known mononymously as Zayn, will play two final shows this week as part of his Konnakol Tour. These gigs include a performance at London's O2 Arena on Saturday, May 23, 2026, where he will perform to around 20,000 fans, and a rescheduled show at Manchester's AO Arena on Sunday, May 24, 2026, originally planned for May 12 but postponed due to illness.
Postponement and Health Update
The Manchester concert was part of a mass cancellation following an unspecified illness. Zayn shared on Instagram: "To my fans: Thank you so much for all the support and love you’ve shown me on the album release and more importantly your love, prayers, and well wishes for my health. I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world. I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before." He added: "I’ve had to take another look at my schedule for the months ahead and have to reduce the number of shows on the KONNAKOL Tour. I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can. I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z."
Last-Minute Tickets Available
Despite tickets being sold months ago, fans can still attend this weekend. Official seller Ticketmaster has limited tickets starting at around £141 each. However, resale markets viagogo and StubHub offer cheaper options, with viagogo listing tickets from approximately £40 each—a significant bargain compared to face value.
