The brother of the Hollywood actress Florence Pugh has said he cannot wait to perform in front of the home crowd at the O2 Academy.
Toby Sebastian recently filmed the music video for his hit single ‘Midnight’ in his father Clinton Pugh’s restaurant Kazbar.
‘Midnight’ is a breezy indie love song which was written by Mr Sebastian and Ms Pugh provides backing vocals to the track.
The music video sees Mr Sebastian and Ms Pugh perform as the evening entertainment whilst they soundtrack the blossoming love on the dancefloor.

Mr Sebastian said Kazabar was chosen as the location for filming the music video as they needed a “beautiful location”.
He explained: “I wanted a dark and moody vibe for when the two love interests had their dance.
“Locations can be the hardest part of shooting anything really.”
Mr Sebastian said it was not strange to be working with his sister because they were naturally a very “collaborative family”.
He said: “The whole video is how we have always been as a family which is we are all getting involved together.
“We have always written songs together.
“We are a large performing and eccentric family.
“It just feels completely normal.
"It was an incredibly calm and enjoyable experience.”

He has recently starred in the new ITV series ALL YOU NEED IS ME and has been working with other high-profile musicians such as The Libertines and Elvis Costello.
Toby’s acting career has seen him play roles such as Trystane Martell in Game of Thrones and Andrea Bocelli in the biopic The Music of Silence.

He revealed: “I’m looking forward to all the gigs.
“All the places I’m playing are special in different ways.
“At the Oxford gig, lots of people will be coming who I know”.
