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 Record Store Day elbow will release an exclusive 7″ vinyl cover of The The’s ‘August & September’ as part of Torch Songs.
Torch Songs, led by the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), brings together artists and music lovers to share the tracks they turn to when feeling life’s pressures.
