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 spotlight is on 1984 in tonight’s episode of Guy Garvey’s ‘From The Vaults’, the year in which Madonna made her British TV debut and appeared on The Tube from the Hacienda in Manchester. The Smiths are also featured, with their first ever live TV appearance, and there’s a previously unseen performance by The Style Council.
Tune in on Sky Arts at 9pm.
