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.”
The reissues of elbow’s first three albums on vinyl have a new release date. ‘Asleep in the Back’, ‘Cast of Thousands’ and ‘Leaders of the Free World’ will now be released on 11th December (8th January in the US).
The albums are being released on heavyweight vinyl, alongside a re-pressing of B sides collection ‘Dead in the Boot’, and 2014’s ‘The Take Off and Landing of Everything’, meaning that the entire elbow album catalogue will now be available on vinyl.
