Elbow have announced they will be returning to their hometown of Manchester for a summer show next year.

The band, who have topped the UK album charts four times, will be performing at Castlefield Bowl on July 2.

This is part of their summer tour, which follows their May tour and the release of their fourth UK number one album, 'Audio Vertigo,' in 2024.

Lead singer Guy Garvey said: "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.

"There’s nothing like settling in for the evening with old friends."

'Audio Vertigo' debuted at number one in the UK album charts and has been highly praised by critics.

The Arts Desk described it as a "triumph that deepens with every listen," while MOJO gave it a four-star review and suggested that "their tenth album feels suitably landmark."

NME also acclaimed it as "their best record in years."

At their Manchester show, they will be joined by The Slow Readers Club, with tickets going on sale from 10am on October 18.

Tickets for all performances can be purchased through the band's website.
