One of England’s finest bands, ELBOW will showcase their sublime sound and grace in a limited run of intoxicating live performances following the release of their latest album, ‘The Take Off and Landing of Everything’. Recently completing a UK arena tour and currently playing select festival dates, including last month’s Glastonbury festival and upcoming V Festival dates, Elbow return after an absence of more than two years for shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and at the iconic Sydney Opera House. Elbow produces live shows as brilliantly as they do albums. Revered for their emotive tunes, they craft melodies simultaneously rousing and melancholy; rich layers of orchestration skilfully intertwined with beautifully eloquent, sentimental lyrics, highlighted by Guy Garvey’s almost angelic, unmistakably Mancunian vocals. Their sixth studio album, ‘The Take Off and Landing of Everything’, delivered the band the highest charts debuts of their career including the top spot in both the UK and Ireland, and #12 on the Australian ARIA chart. Elbow has consistently delivered superb albums: 2011’s platinum release ‘Build A Rocket Boys!’ the million selling ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’, ‘Leaders of the Free World’, ‘Cast of Thousands’ and back where it all began with their 2001 debut, ‘Asleep In the Back’. Tickets for all shows will go on sale at 10am Friday August 1.
