The band have released 10 studio albums and received a Mercury Music Prize and a BRIT Award, they are sure to delight their loyal legion of fans with classic hits including ‘One Day Like This’ and ‘Grounds For Divorce’ when they take to the Hampton Court Palace Festival stage on Friday 20 June.
Guy Garvey of Elbow commented: “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.”
