See Tom Odell live in Munich at a festival concert in Olympiapark on 30 August 2026. Expect a mix of hits such as "Another Love", newer songs from "A Wonderful Life" and his intimate piano-led sound. Plan your ticket purchase and a full day at the SUPERBLOOM festival
Tom Odell in München: emotional piano, new material and a festival stage
Tom Odell returns to München at a moment when his career brings together two very recognizable sides: the songs that made him one of the best-known British singer-songwriters of his generation and the newer, more stripped-back material from the album "A Wonderful Life". The performance is part of Sunday's SUPERBLOOM Experience Day at Olympiapark, so the audience is not coming to a classic standalone concert in an indoor venue, but to a full-day festival program with multiple stages and a range of other performers.
For Odell, this is a return to the same city in a different format. In November 2025, he played at München's Olympiahalle on the tour connected with the album "A Wonderful Life", while the summer of 2026 brings him back to the open spaces of Olympiapark.
If you are planning a trip to München specifically because of his performance, it is worth securing tickets in good time and leaving enough room in your schedule for the entire festival day.
Why Tom Odell is still much more than "Another Love"
"Another Love" remains the song by which a large part of the audience will recognize him within the first few seconds. The piano, the gradual build in dynamics and a vocal that moves from vulnerability into almost desperate intensity have become his trademark. The song continued to live for years beyond the period in which it was originally released, while Odell's debut album "Long Way Down" reached number one on the UK albums chart.
But the 2026 concert is not a nostalgic stop built around one hit. His catalogue includes "Heal", "Grow Old with Me", "Can't Pretend", "Best Day of My Life", "Black Friday" and other titles that show how his style has shifted over the years from classic singer-songwriter pop toward more intimate, at times almost raw production. The piano remains the central instrument, but the newer songs often leave more room for silence, a fragile vocal and the lyrics.
Live, Odell does not build his performance exclusively around big choruses. His concerts can move from near-total calm to the wide sound of a full band within a single song.
- "Another Love" remains his most recognizable piano hit.
- "Long Way Down" was his debut album and reached the top of the UK albums chart.
- "Black Friday" opened a newer phase of his career with an even more stripped-back, emotionally direct sound.
- "A Wonderful Life" from 2025 is his seventh studio album and provides the central context for his current concert period.
- In June 2026, he also released "Old Lovers" with The Lumineers, a new version of the idea from the song "Can Old Lovers Ever Just Be Friends?".
"A Wonderful Life" gives this performance its current context
The album "A Wonderful Life" was released on September 5, 2025, and contains ten songs. It was created during nine months of travelling in 2024, on tours, buses and trains, and in interviews surrounding the album Odell emphasized how much time he invested in refining the lyrics. The result is a record that does not try to reduce itself to a single emotion. Anxiety, exhaustion, attachment, a sense of loss and moments of hope alternate throughout it.
The album opens with "Don't Let Me Go", while "Don't Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder" was among the songs that previewed it. It also includes the title track "Wonderful Life", followed by "Ugly", "Prayer", "Strange House" and the closing "The End of Suffering". In October 2025, the expanded edition "A Wonderful Life (Epilogue)" also appeared, with "When I Close My Eyes" among its additional songs.
In June 2026, Odell also released "Old Lovers" with The Lumineers, a reworking of the motif from "Can Old Lovers Ever Just Be Friends?" from the album "A Wonderful Life".
What can be expected live without guessing the set list
The exact repertoire for München has not been confirmed in advance, so there is no point in presenting an expected set list as fact. Nevertheless, previous concerts on the "A Wonderful Life" tour provide a good sense of how Odell structures an evening. A report from his performance in Madrid at the end of 2025 describes an opening in a more intimate tone, with songs such as "Strange House" and "Ugly", after which the sound expanded with the arrival of the band and more dynamic songs. Older songs were also performed that evening, including "Heal", "Somehow" and the closing "Another Love".
Festival performances often have a different duration and structure from standalone arena concerts, so the Madrid example can only be used to get a sense of the contrast between stripped-back moments and a fuller band sound.
Odell's greatest strength in such an environment is not a production spectacle but the dynamics of his performance. When he sings quietly at the piano, the audience has to move closer to the song through attention, not physically. When the arrangement opens up, that same space can turn into a huge communal singalong. For fans who come because of "Another Love", that transition is often the moment when they realize just how much broader his live identity really is.
SUPERBLOOM changes the character of the entire day
The Sunday program on August 30, 2026 is not organized as an evening devoted only to Tom Odell. SUPERBLOOM confirms a full Experience Day for that date, with three stages and additional activities in Olympiapark. Among the prominent names on Sunday's program are Kygo, Tom Odell, Zara Larsson, Ikkimel, Filow, horsegiirL, Noga Erez, oskar med k, Baran Kok, Kiarababa, Dani Lia, Yung Pepp, Yola, Soda Frizzante and Teresa Reichl.
Such a line-up means that the audience is much broader than the typical crowd at one of Odell's indoor concerts. Pop, electronic music, alternative performers and contemporary German rap and pop come together on the same day. That may work in his favor: songs such as "Another Love" are recognizable enough to attract people who did not come primarily because of him, while the newer material can introduce him to an audience that may never have listened to one of his albums in full.
For long-time fans, the advantage is different. They get the opportunity to hear the artist in an open-air festival context only a few months after new releases, while at the same time being able to build an entire day around other performers. Tickets for this event are currently on sale.
Olympiapark Süd is not the same as a concert at Olympiastadion
When planning your arrival, it is useful to pay attention to the name of the location. Odell's page for this date lists "Olympiapark Süd", while SUPERBLOOM describes the entire weekend as a festival program in Olympiapark. For that reason, it should not automatically be imagined as a classic concert inside Olympiastadion.
This is particularly important in 2026 because Olympiastadion is closed for renovation work that began in September 2025. The festival program uses the open areas of the park and multiple stages. For visitors, that means moving through a larger complex rather than entering one venue with a single auditorium.
Olympiapark was built for the 1972 Summer Olympics and, more than half a century later, remains one of München's most recognizable public spaces. Its terrain, lake, large green areas and famous transparent roof structure create an atmosphere that is very different from an enclosed arena. SUPERBLOOM uses the park itself as part of the experience, with music distributed across multiple zones.
The organizer has not yet published a separate capacity for Odell's individual stage, so figures from Olympiastadion or Olympiahalle are not relevant for estimating this performance.
How to get there and what to plan before entering
Olympiapark has good connections to München's public transport network. For most visitors, the underground is the simplest starting point. The U3 runs to Olympiazentrum station, from which, according to information provided by Olympiapark, it is about a ten-minute walk to the park. Alternatives include tram lines 20 and 21 to Olympiapark West and tram 27 to Petuelring. Bus connections to various parts of the complex are also available.
At a large festival, it is more important to follow information for the specific day than to blindly use the usual route. Temporary fences, entrances and closures of individual pedestrian or cycling routes can change the way people move through the park. Olympiapark specifically warns that during major events, parts of the outdoor area may be temporarily closed for security and logistical reasons.
- When arriving by public transport, check the current route to Olympiazentrum or Olympiapark West.
- Arrive earlier than you would for a classic indoor concert because this is a multi-stage festival day.
- Before leaving, check the daily timetable and the exact stage for Tom Odell - public pages confirm the date and festival, but the detailed performance schedule should be checked closer to the event.
- If you are arriving by car, expect more limited capacity and congestion around the major event; public transport reduces the risk of long waits when arriving and leaving.
- If you plan to see several performers, leave time for walking between stages and for security checks at the entrances to individual zones.
München Hauptbahnhof is connected with Olympiapark through a combination of underground lines, while from the airport it is possible to take the S-Bahn and then continue toward the U3 or other city connections. For international visitors, this makes the concert feasible even without a car, particularly if accommodation is located near one of the main public transport lines.
Who will find this concert most interesting
The first group consists of long-time fans who have followed Odell since "Long Way Down" and want to see how the older songs work alongside material from "Black Friday" and "A Wonderful Life". The second consists of listeners who discovered him through "Another Love", perhaps years after its original release, and now want to hear for the first time how far his catalogue extends beyond that song.
The third group is the festival audience for whom Tom Odell is not necessarily the main reason for attending. Within such a schedule, his music can work as a change of pace: less dependent on dance-oriented production and more focused on piano, melody and voice.
If you are looking for a concert where precisely choreographed production is the most important element, this is probably not the main reason to attend. If the song itself matters to you, along with a voice that retains its imperfections and the moment when thousands of people take over the chorus, Odell is a natural choice within Sunday's program.
If Tom Odell is the main reason for your trip, it is worth securing the ticket before finalizing transport and accommodation, and checking the exact festival timetable immediately before arrival.
