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.”
This Thursday (29th May) NPR’s World Cafe will feature a specially recorded live session from elbow.
You can hear World Cafe with host David Dye on over 200 stations across the United States. Click here to check NPR’s local listings for full details.
The performance will also be live to stream online worldwide at www.worldcafe.org shortly after broadcast.
