Smerz to make Barbican debut with Big city life performance
The Barbican has announced that Norwegian art-pop duo Smerz will return to London for their first-ever performance at the arts centre as part of Italy’s C2C Festival’s 25th anniversary.
To celebrate the occasion, Smerz will present their 2025 album, Big city life, on Thursday, 16 October 2026 in the Barbican Hall, with yet-to-be-announced special guests also set to appear. This is off the back of two sold-out shows at Heaven that the duo played just last month.
