Elbow Announces New Album: British rock legends Elbow are making a triumphant return with their upcoming 10th studio album, set to be released in March 2024. To celebrate, the band has announced a new UK tour, including a highly-anticipated hometown show at Manchester’s brand-new Co-op Live arena on Tuesday, May 14, 2024.
The announcement of this homecoming gig comes on the same day that tickets went on sale for Liam Gallagher’s three-night extravaganza at Co-op Live. This remarkable event will take place at the UK’s largest indoor concert space.
Elbow’s history is filled with landmark moments in Manchester, from legendary shows at iconic venues like the Roadhouse and The Night And Day Café to multiple nights at the Manchester O2 Apollo. They’ve even headlined shows at the city’s AO Arena, Castlefield Bowl, and the Bridgewater Hall alongside the Hallé orchestra.
Frontman Guy Garvey expressed his excitement for the upcoming tour, saying, “We love the intimacy of theaters, but we have some very big songs, and the electricity of 20,000 people singing along cannot be denied. So, the big rooms it is, and big shows they will be. Can’t wait to see everybody again.”
For fans eager to secure their tickets, there is an opportunity to register for a ticket pre-sale for the arena tour starting on Friday, October 20. To access the pre-sale, fans can pre-order a special limited edition of Elbow’s new album through their official website.
