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.”

From The Vaults Episode 3

From The Vaults Episode 3

Episode 3 of Guy Garvey From The Vaults airs this evening on Sky Arts (Freeview Channel 11) at 10:15pm.

Clips in this episode all come from 1984 – when Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Tom Robinson bring us war-themed songs from the Tyne Tees studios while the TV debut of New Model Army sees the Bradford three-piece send out their own musical message to the masses.

There are rarely seen performances captured after The Tube’s end credits had rolled from the likes of The Alarm, Sade and Judas Priest as well appearances from artists with Scottish roots including Big Country, Fiction Factory and Aztec Camera.

Shane MacGowan and The Pogues make a very early on-screen outing on London Weekend Television and The Tube’s Leslie Ash catches up with Guy’s hero John Martyn in the tropical paradise of the Bahamas.
