Micky Flanagan is back at the O2 Arena for another set of weekend shows, but who has taken to the arena stage between over this week in previous years? London World looks back on the acts who performed at the venue between May 22 and May 28 in the past.

Flanagan is no stranger to the O2 Arena, having previously shared his comedy with crowds at the venue back in 2017 as part of his An Another Fing tour. At the time, he performed ten shows at the capital’s beloved arena.

In past years this week (May 22 and May 28), several iconic artists and groups graced the stage. The list of former headliners includes Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Fleetwood Mac.
