Zayn « The Konnakol Tour »

ZAYN brings The Konnakol Tour to The O2 in London on 23 May 2026. Born in Bradford, Zain Javadd Malik first stepped into the spotlight with One Direction before going solo in 2016. His debut Mind of Mine set the tone: slow-burn R&B, hazy production, and a vocal range that leans on nuance and falsetto. Icarus Falls (2018) and Nobody Is Listening (2021) pushed that mix of R&B, electronic touches and hip-hop influences, punctuated by collaborations with Taylor Swift, Sia, PartyNextDoor and Timbaland.

More recently, 2024’s Room Under the Stairs marked a turn toward a warmer, more organic sound, drawing on soul, folk and a hint of country. On stage, that shift meets his earlier catalog, trading studio polish for live textures and space around the voice. The Konnakol Tour maps this evolution: intimate ballads, moody mid-tempos and newer material built for a band, anchored by his controlled, textured delivery. A rare chance to hear how ZAYN reshapes his repertoire in concert, from the atmospheric R&B of his beginnings to the earthy tones of his latest songs.
