Pussycat Dolls London tickets: The O2 concert with Don't Cha, Buttons and the PCD FOREVER tour live on stage

Pussycat Dolls at London's The O2 arena: the return of the hits and a new lineup on the PCD FOREVER tour

The Pussycat Dolls will perform on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at The O2 arena in London, with doors opening at 18:30 local time. The concert is part of the comeback tour PCD FOREVER, featuring Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt. Special guests Lil' Kim and Deja Vu have also been announced for the London show. The evening will bring together the recognizable pop and R&B hits from the group's most successful period with new music released during 2026.

London is the final UK stop on the tour, following concerts in cities including Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester. The performance at The O2 offers an opportunity to see how the hits of the 2000s are performed by today's three-member lineup. Tickets are currently on sale, and checking the seating plan and entry conditions before choosing a seat is recommended.

Three members, a recognizable sound and a different balance on stage

The Pussycat Dolls currently consist of Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt. Scherzinger remains the lead vocalist, performing most of the songs that brought the group international popularity. Roberts and Wyatt contribute a strong dance element, but they also have their own musical moments throughout the tour. This means the comeback is not an attempt to reproduce previous concert lineups exactly, but rather a new interpretation of a familiar catalog.

The group became widely recognized for combining pop melodies, R&B rhythms, hip-hop guest appearances and distinctive choreography. As a result, their live performances rely on more than vocals alone: synchronized movement, rhythmic transitions and the use of the stage are important parts of the experience.

Scherzinger has also enjoyed a notable theater career, including her performance in the musical Sunset Blvd. on Broadway. Concerts on the PCD FOREVER tour so far have demonstrated that Roberts and Wyatt are more than just accompanying dancers: they receive their own musical sections and opportunities to showcase their different performing personalities.

From the albums PCD and Doll Domination to the single Club Song

The debut album PCD, released in 2005, and its successor Doll Domination, released in 2008, form the foundation of the repertoire for which the group is best remembered. "Don't Cha" and "Buttons" capture its rhythmic, provocative pop side, while "Stickwitu" demonstrates a slower, more melodic approach. "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" expanded the group's sound toward more pronounced dance-pop and powerful choruses.

Both albums were reissued in May 2026, while the expanded digital edition PCD Forever features new remixes of songs including "Beep", "Don't Cha", "Buttons" and "Stickwitu". These releases give the older repertoire contemporary dance arrangements without losing the melodies that make the group recognizable.

The new single "Club Song" was released in 2026 and written by Nicole Scherzinger, Mike Sabath, Caroline Ailin and Solly; Sabath also produced the track. Its dance-oriented direction distinguishes the group's current phase from a purely retrospective project. The earlier single "React" is also worth listening to for an introduction to the group's more recent sound.

What previous concerts on the tour have revealed

The performance in Birmingham in late September, reviewed by The Guardian, provided a concrete picture of the show. Opening with "When I Grow Up" and "Beep", powerful choreography and transitions between group and individual sections demonstrated how the three-member comeback has been designed. The emphasis remained on stage movement and Scherzinger's vocals, but Wyatt and Roberts also received their own featured performances.

During the same concert, Scherzinger performed material from her solo repertoire as well as the theatrical song "As If We Never Said Goodbye". Group hits such as "Buttons" and "React" returned to prominence in the closing section. Accounts of the Glasgow performances also highlight the costumes, dance transitions and solo sections performed by the members. These observations provide useful guidance for what to expect in London, but they do not guarantee an identical running order, the same duration of individual segments or the same stage effects.

For the audience, this means an alternation between energetic dance numbers, ballads and solo performances. Examples from previous concerts help establish expectations, but they do not confirm that London will feature an identical setlist.

Lil' Kim and Deja Vu: additional performers on the program

Lil' Kim and Deja Vu have been announced as special guests for the concert at The O2. Lil' Kim is an important figure in American hip-hop and an artist whose career is associated with the period when rap became increasingly intertwined with mainstream pop and R&B. Her participation is a natural stylistic fit for an evening dedicated to a group whose recordings have combined dance-pop and hip-hop influences from the beginning.

Deja Vu has also been confirmed among the performers on the London program. The exact running order and duration of the guest performances, as well as any possible joint appearances, have not been specified in the available information and should therefore not be assumed in advance.

The O2: a large arena where choosing the right seat matters

The O2 is located on the Greenwich Peninsula beside the River Thames in eastern London. The arena accommodates up to 20,000 visitors, depending on the event configuration. A venue of this size allows for large-scale stage productions, but it also means that the experience can differ considerably between standing areas close to the stage and seats in the upper tiers. When choosing a ticket, it is worth examining the seating chart for the specific event configuration rather than relying solely on the section name.

The arena hosts major musical and sporting events. Closer to the stage, it is easier to follow facial expressions and choreography details, while the upper tiers offer a broader view of the lighting and group formations. The seating chart for the particular arena configuration should be consulted when selecting a place.

The O2 is part of a complex containing restaurants, cafés and shops. Arriving before the crowds makes it possible to have dinner and pass through security more comfortably. It is worth securing tickets in good time and choosing a section that matches the preferred way of experiencing the performance.

How to get to The O2 and what to know about transport

For most visitors, the easiest way to arrive is by London Underground to North Greenwich station on the Jubilee line. The station is immediately next to the complex. This route is particularly convenient for guests staying in central London or arriving on another railway line and transferring to the Jubilee line. After major concerts, queues can form on the way to the station, so it is useful to plan the return journey in advance as well.

The O2 can also be reached by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers river services to North Greenwich Pier or by the IFS Cloud Cable Car across the Thames. For journeys home after the concert, the last departure times should be checked carefully. Bus connections and designated taxi drop-off and pick-up points are also available.

• Underground: North Greenwich, Jubilee line, the most direct access to the arena.
• River transport: North Greenwich Pier, with advance planning for the last sailing.
• Arrival by car: Car Park 1 is designated for concert visitors, and advance booking is recommended.
• Navigation address: The O2, Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX.

The O2 warns of roadworks in the surrounding area that may slow traffic, particularly after concerts. Visitors who nevertheless choose to drive should confirm their parking arrangements in advance and allow time for the walk to the entrance.

Doors at 18:30, bag rules and age restrictions

Doors are scheduled to open at 18:30 London time on October 13. This does not necessarily indicate when the Pussycat Dolls will begin performing: guest artists are scheduled before the headlining act, and their precise stage times have not been announced. The organizer's schedule also lists an event curfew of 23:00, which does not confirm that the concert will continue until that exact time. Visitors traveling from outside London should distinguish between door-opening time, the start of the program and the planned end of the evening.

The rules for this event distinguish between standing and seated areas: standing admission is restricted to visitors aged at least 16, while seated visitors under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult aged at least 18. Before arriving, it is important to check the conditions attached to the specific ticket, particularly when attending with younger family members.

• Bags: one small bag per person is permitted, no larger than A4 size; large backpacks and travel bags are not allowed inside the arena.
• Security screening: allow sufficient time for bag inspections and ticket checks.
• Food and drinks: items purchased outside the arena cannot be brought inside; an empty, flexible water bottle is permitted under the venue's rules.
• Recording: professional equipment and large cameras are subject to restrictions, so ordinary visitors are best advised to bring only essential items.
• Mobile ticket: before traveling, check that the ticket is available in the app or format appropriate to the way it was issued.

After a ticket has been scanned, The O2 generally does not permit re-entry. Food and drinks are available for purchase inside the arena, and payments are cashless. Visitors requiring accessible seating or assistance on arrival should check the arrangements for their section in advance.

Who will find this comeback most appealing

For longtime Pussycat Dolls fans, the London concert is primarily an opportunity to hear the songs that accompanied the era of early digital music players, television music channels and major pop radio hits. The choruses of "Don't Cha" and "Stickwitu" can easily bring back memories, but the evening is not intended exclusively for audiences who have followed the group from the beginning. The dance production and the newer "Club Song" also provide an entry point for listeners who discovered the group much later.

Fans of contemporary pop may be interested in seeing how the formula of a powerful lead vocalist and coordinated group choreography has been adapted to a three-member lineup. Dance enthusiasts can focus on the faster parts of the program, while fans of vocal performances can enjoy Scherzinger's solo moments. The guest artists further broaden the musical range toward hip-hop.

The type of experience also matters when choosing a ticket: standing areas suit visitors who want to dance, while seats are better for those who prefer to watch the complete choreography from one position.

Planning a concert evening in Greenwich

Greenwich is known for its maritime history, parks and views of the Thames, while the peninsula surrounding The O2 offers riverside walkways and modern amenities. For visitors traveling to London specifically for the concert, accommodation with convenient access to the Jubilee line is a practical choice, particularly for the return journey after the evening program.

Before setting off, check Underground services, any transport disruptions and the instructions accompanying the ticket. Arriving early also makes sense because of the announced guests Lil' Kim and Deja Vu and the time required to enter the arena.

For visitors who are still planning their trip, the most important considerations are coordinating arrival with the 18:30 door-opening time, ensuring that the ticket can be displayed on a mobile phone and arranging the return journey from North Greenwich. Before booking accommodation or transport, check ticket availability in the desired section.
