Guy Garvey and co. are due to hit the road next June for huge headline shows in Cardiff, Gloucestershire, London, Manchester, York, Warwick and Tynemouth.

“We are returning to venues we’ve really loved for summer ‘25 and also visiting some towns and cities that we haven’t been to for a while,” explained Garvey. “There’s nothing like settling in for the evening with old friends.”

The Manchester band’s homecoming gig is scheduled to take place at Castlefield Bowl, while their return to the capital will see them perform at Hampton Court Palace in Richmond upon Thames.

Support will come from The Coral, Billie Marten, The Slow Readers Club and Eliza Carthy & The Restitution at select dates.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST this Friday (October 18) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, you can find pre-sale information here.

Elbow released their 10th and latest studio album, ‘Audio Vertigo’, back in March. In a four-star review of the record – which debuted at Number One in the UK – NME wrote: “‘Audio Vertigo’ is their best record in years, and one to blow the cobwebs off some sleepy arenas this summer.”

The group embarked on a UK arena tour in support of the LP earlier this year, and opened the new Co-op Live venue in Manchester. NME gave that performance four stars, praising Elbow’s “suitably massive set” at the “belated, but brilliant opening”.

Speaking to NME in 2023 about returning to arenas, Garvey explained: “The first time we played arenas, we didn’t have enough big numbers to do an arena set. We went to all kinds of different lengths to bring the room in and make it more intimate. We had a B-stage, a walkway, all this stuff – but now we’ve got more than enough massive songs.

“We love playing theatres and the intimacy they afford you, but there’s also something great in hearing 20,000 people sing together.”
