The concert will take place at the Southbank Centre in London, a prominent arts complex situated on the River Thames. Originally constructed as part of the Festival of Britain in 1951, the centre was envisioned as a cultural hub celebrating modern British life. It encompasses several performance venues, including the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Purcell Room, hosting a diverse programme of music, theatre, dance, and visual arts.

The Southbank Centre has played a significant role in the development of modern British culture; it has hosted countless iconic artists across various disciplines and continues to be a leading destination for artistic expression and innovation. The building itself underwent substantial refurbishment between 1999-2007 to enhance its facilities and accessibility.
