On 16 October 2026, poet and musician Antony Szmierek brings his live show to O2 Academy Bournemouth. The single evening comes from an artist who moves fluidly between spoken word and music, staged at one of the town's most recognised live venues.
What to expect
Szmierek's output draws equally on poetry and music, a blend his live performances carry through to the stage. Expect an intimate gig rather than an arena-scale show, with the set and running order finalised by the artist and organisers closer to the date. Checking the venue's official listing is worthwhile for the latest details.
Planning your visit
O2 Academy Bournemouth sits centrally, close to the seafront, bars and restaurants for before or after the show. Booking runs through the venue's official listing, which also lists the most current start times, prices and any age restrictions.
