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.”
Someone’s staking out my house
so don’t be singing drunk
outside my window
‘cause when your love is love blown down
you must live with yourself
Someone’s opening my mail
so don’t be sending acid through the post
Someone’s tapping my phone you know
so stop the crank calls telling me you love me
When your love is love blown down
you must live with yourself
‘cause when your love is love blown down
you must sleep so your head can escape your heart
