Dizzee Rascal - We Want Bass 2026 UK Tour

Dizzee Rascal brings his We Want Bass 2026 UK Tour to the O2 Academy Bournemouth on Tuesday 10 November. He's the sole name on the bill, so it's a night built around his set rather than a line-up of supporting acts.

If you're not fully across his work, Rascal is a British rapper, producer and songwriter. The tour title gives you a fair idea of where the night sits — bass-heavy and designed for a loud room. He's known for a conversational, clipped flow that toggles between menace and mischief, raw diarist lyrics and festival-sized hooks. It's that mix that's defined his career: the gritty, street-level storytelling sitting alongside the kind of choruses that work just as well in a club as they do on a main stage.

The venue is the O2 Academy Bournemouth over in Boscombe, at 570 Christchurch Road, BH1 4BH. It's a Grade II listed building that doubles as the venue's premier live entertainment space, hosting concerts, club nights and special events. Being a listed building, it's got a bit more character than your standard black-box venue, and it's a good size for a show like this, where the bass is meant to be felt as much as heard.

It's a mid-week date, so keep that in mind if you're planning your evening around it. The show runs from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm, and since he's the only act on the bill, you'll be getting a full set from him. If you've followed his work from the early days or just know the bigger tracks, it's a chance to hear that flow and those hooks played out in full.
