Becoming: An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama, O2 Arena

Michelle Obama recently charmed an audience of enraptured listeners at the Southbank Centre, where she spoke about her new memoir Becoming, in conversation with novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Not only did tickets to the event at the 2,700 capacity venue sell out, no less than 60,000 people attempted to buy them. If you weren't among the lucky few who got to hear from Michelle Obama first hand, we have some exciting news: the former First Lady is headlining the O2 Arena on 14 April 2019, providing a second chance to hear her discuss her book Becoming.

Audience members are invited into Michelle Obama's world as she chronicles the experiences that have shaped her – from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. One of the world’s most compelling, passionate and admired public speakers, Michelle Obama recounts her triumphs and disappointments with honesty and wit, sharing the life lessons she has learned along the way. Michelle Obama comes to The O2 arena as part of a 21-venue tour spanning arenas in both Europe and North America.

The event comes months after the unveiling of a 30-foot mural of Michelle Obama on Dorrell Place in Brixton. The mural, created by Neequaye Dreph Dsane, was commissioned to mark the launch of Michelle’s memoir.

Tickets to Becoming: An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama at The O2 Arena are available to book on pre-sale from 1PM on Thursday 13 December and on general release from 1PM on Friday 14 December.
