Elbow - Asleep In The Back Live
Celebrating 25 years of ‘Asleep In The Back’

To celebrate 25 years of ‘Asleep In The Back’, elbow will return to Manchester’s Ritz this November for three very special hometown shows on 20th, 21st & 22nd November 2026.

The band will perform ‘Asleep In The Back’ in its entirety, alongside selected B-sides and rarities.

Guy Garvey: “It’s fascinating for us to revisit the atmosphere we created, and the Ritz feels like the perfect setting to capture that atmosphere. A time machine night for us and for the fans. See you there.”

Flying Dream 1 Documentary

Flying Dream 1 Documentary

Filmed by long-time elbow collaborator Mark Thomas, follow the story of elbow’s ninth studio album, recorded during lockdown at Brighton’s Theatre Royal in 2021, in the premiere of brand new documentary ‘Flying Dream 1’. 

Guy on ‘Flying Dream 1’: “I’m excited that this documentary may lead people to Flying Dream 1. We released the album soon after it was finished though we knew it may get lost in the post covid clamour and so it did. But there was a poignancy to much of the subject matter we didn’t want to squander. Just nine months on I look back at our time at the Theatre Royal Brighton as the happiest recording experience of our lives. We’re so proud of this record and it’s my personal favourite of the nine so far. Beautifully captured by our old friend Mark Thomas of the Soup Collective (Any Day Now onwards), it was a truly magical experience.”  

Tune in this Friday (19th) at 8pm on Sky Arts.
