Tom McRae will mark the 25th anniversary of his Mercury Prize-nominated debut album with a special London concert. 

Taking to the stage at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on Thursday 20 November 2025, the acclaimed English singer-songwriter will perform the entire 2000 self-titled album with a full band, as well as selected tracks from his other studio albums. McRae describes the concert as a celebration for long-time fans and a return to the emotional power of his early work.

Featuring beloved songs such as “The Boy with the Bubblegun” and “You Cut Her Hair”, McRae's debut album brought him critical acclaim and several major award nominations, selling over 160,000 copies and setting him down a successful career path. Known for his poignant live performances and sharp wit, McRae has since released eight more albums, written for other artists, and contributed music to film and television.
