James Blunt will perform live in Hanover in 2027

James Blunt is bringing his “Airplane Mode Tour” to Hanover. On February 24, 2027, the British singer-songwriter will transform the ZAG Arena into an emotional sea of lights. For over two decades, Blunt has been captivating audiences with his distinctive blend of soulful pop and melodic rock. He rose to worldwide fame with timeless global hits such as “You’re Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover.”

But the musician isn’t resting on his past successes: His musical evolution reveals a more mature, versatile artist who has rediscovered his former strength in the studio. On his brand-new album, “Airplane Mode,” he blends his signature melancholy with infectious lightness.

The new, laid-back, upbeat hits like “Tastes Like Summer” and the reflective “Weight Of It All” prove just how closely he stays in tune with the times. Performed with his brilliant live band, this show promises a perfect balance of intimate, raw, goosebump-inducing moments and high-energy anthems.

Are there still tickets available for the James Blunt concert in Hanover?

Yes, tickets are still available for James Blunt's concert in Hanover in all price categories (as of September 22, 2026).

What do I need to know about tickets?

It is not possible to exchange or return tickets, as ticket orders are not subject to the Distance Selling Act. § Section 312 b (3) no. 6 BGB stipulates that the law does not apply to contracts for the provision of leisure services, which also includes concerts. This means that a two-week right of withdrawal and return is excluded. There is also no right of return in the event of illness or loss/theft.

The ticket is only valid if it is intact. Make sure that the barcode is not torn or missing.

The ticket is valid for public transportation only if it bears the GVH logo.

Age restrictions for the concert

Basically:

Children under 14 may attend a concert only if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. A parental consent form is not permitted for children under the age of 14.

Children under 16 may attend a concert until 10:00 p.m. without being accompanied by a parent or guardian. Proof of age must be provided in the form of a valid identification document (passport, ID card, health insurance card). Student IDs, bus tickets, or similar documents are not accepted.

Alternatively, legal guardians may delegate supervision of the child or adolescent to a person who can prove they are of legal age. This requires a fully completed parental consent form. The person acting as guardian may supervise multiple children or adolescents, but must be physically and mentally capable of managing the situation and assuming responsibility.

Important: If the concert ends after 10 p.m., we unfortunately cannot admit you without a parental consent form and appropriate supervision.

People under 18 may attend a concert until midnight without being accompanied by a parent or guardian. Age must be verified with a valid form of identification (passport, ID card, health insurance card). Student IDs, bus tickets, or similar documents are not valid.

Important notes:

We strongly advise against bringing children under the age of 6 to a concert. Children must have their own ticket in all cases.

Certain shows may deviate from the general guidelines depending on their textual and/or visual content. In such cases, specific notices regarding the protection of minors are noted for the relevant dates on the Swiss Life Hall website.
