Hotels for Cody Johnson

Country music from Texas fills the arena for a night built around big choruses and rowdy singalongs. Expect a crowd in boots and hats, plenty of them making a proper occasion of the midweek date with pre-show drinks. The songs lean on hard-won grit as much as heartbreak, and the room tends to roar back every word on the choruses. A Tuesday night slot means an earlier finish than a weekend show, but no less noise while it lasts.

Set beneath its unmistakable tented roof on the Greenwich Peninsula, The O2 is one of the world's busiest indoor arenas, drawing global music tours, comedy and sport year-round. The complex wraps the arena in cinemas, restaurants and riverside bars, with the Thames Path and cable car close by. The Jubilee line reaches North Greenwich in minutes, and riverboats offer a scenic alternative. Staying on the peninsula or across in Greenwich means an easy walk or short hop back after the encore.
