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.”

elbow’s tour concludes this evening with a third night at Manchester’s O2 Apollo.

“Like a happy dream from start to finish. elbow were honoured to share the stage with Jesca Hoop, Peter Jobson, Alex Reeves, Fiona Brice, Gita Langley and Cat Parker… and we had a right laugh! And we were overcome by the warmth of the audience every night. Definitely my favourite shows ever.

Thanks everyone. G x”
