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.”
You can re-watch elbow’s performance with Citizens of the World Choir and the Household Division Orchestra in front of 22,000 people, including 5,000 key workers, at the Platinum Party at the Palace.
Watch on iPlayer here and fast forward to 52:49 for ‘One Day Like This’.
