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.”

Artist presale begins at 10am tomorrow, Wednesday 2nd September. Sign up to the elbow mailing list for access:

Passport Back To The Bars

On February 24th elbow will play a very special, stripped down set at The Roadhouse in Manchester in aid of War Child.

Tickets will be allocated on a lottery basis. For a chance to win simply donate £4.50 to War Child at warchild.org.uk/passport.

UK fans can also enter the draw via SMS – simply text ELBOW to 88450 (texts cost £4.50).

“elbow are proud to have been associated with War Child for over a decade. The work that War Child continues to do throughout the world is truly humbling. We were part of the original Passport shows, and to be able to participate again on its 10th anniversary is amazing. To return to The Roadhouse, our spiritual home in Manchester, just makes it even better.”
