About this concert
elbow are set to headline a major outdoor concert this summer, in the stunning grounds of Audley End, in Saffron Walden, Essex, on Sunday 4th August.
The multi-platinum-selling band fronted by Guy Garvey will perform a selection of their biggest anthems along with new material from their forthcoming album, ‘Audio Vertigo,’ due out on March 22nd.
elbow are undoubtedly one of Britain’s most loved and respected bands. After earning early support from the late John Peel with their debut EP Noisebox, elbow’s popularity soared. Over the past two decades, the Mancunians have released numerous no.1 albums, most notably their 2008 Mercury Prize-winning effort ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’, a multi-platinum selling record that opened the floodgates for further accolades, including an NME Award, Mojo Award, BRIT Award and a several Ivor Novello prizes.
Throughout their 30-year history, elbow’s critical reception has remained impressively consistent. elbow is the only band to receive four consecutive 9/10 reviews from NME for their first four records and this year, as they release their tenth studio album, an opening performance on the Graham Norton Show gives an early indication that this is a group that remains at the top of their game.
Recorded in 2023 at the band’s individual studios, Migration Studios, Gloucestershire, and finalised at the band’s facility at Blueprint Studios, Salford, the new album marks a significant step change for the group following 2021’s ‘Flying Dream 1’.
In the words of lead singer and lyricist Guy Garvey, ‘AUDIO VERTIGO’ was built from ‘gnarly, seedy grooves created by us playing together in garagey rooms’ and is both more direct and sonically varied by purpose that its predecessor.
As a live band, elbow are hard to beat. Their 2011 Glastonbury performance on the Pyramid stage is widely regarded as one of the best in the festival’s history. The band have since toured the world, earning a reputation for their euphoric live performances that continue to captivate audiences.
Fans of elbow can expect to hear material from the band’s new album along with anthemic hits from their back catalogue such as ‘One Day Like This,’ ‘Grounds for Divorce’ and ‘Open Arms’.
Tickets for the show will be available on pre-sale on Wednesday, 28th February at 9am. Customers MUST pre-register at https://arep.co/p/elbow-audleyend for pre-sale access. Tickets will then go on general sale on Friday, 1st March at 9am from

Elbow Biography
Elbow are a Nationwide Mercury Prize winning alternative rock band based in England. The band formed in the English town of Bury, Greater Manchester, in 1990, and currently comprises lead vocalist, guitarist and lyricist Guy Garvey, guitarist and back up vocalist Mark Potter, keyboardist and back up vocalist Craig Potter, bassist Pete Turner and drummer Richard Jupp. Over the band's 18 year career they have released four studio albums, four EPs and ten top fifty singles in the UK.
The band are named after a line in the BBC TV mini-series The Singing Detective which says that the word "elbow" is the most sensuous word in the English language, not for its definition, but for how it feels to say it.
Elbow was formed in 1990 at a sixth-form college in Bury, Lancashire, England. They began specialising in "chilled funk", but changed the direction of their music after unanimously deciding they were "shit". The new songs got notice from both Island Records and Universal, but after signing with both the band was dropped before anything was released. After this much trouble releasing an album, their debut Asleep in the Back was released on V2. The album was a surprise moderate success, gaining substantial critical acclaim and ultimately a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize in 2001. The single Newborn also received attention after being banned by Radio 1 for the lyric, "I'll be the corpse in your bathtub."
Word of mouth began to work in Elbow's favour in the following year, and their 2003 effort Cast of Thousands, which sonically followed much the same path (though with added optimism) entered the UK Charts at number 7 to critical acclaim. The lead single Fallen Angel charted at number 19. Two years later, Elbow's third album Leaders of the Free World was released with a more straightforward bent, featuring more standard ballads and near-pop songs.
In 2004, Elbow went on an unofficial tour of Cuba, becoming the first British band ever to play a concert outside Havana. The tour was made into a short film by British documentary maker Irshad Ashraf.
Despite a continued lack of commercial notice, Leaders of the Free World charted at number 12, with lead single Forget Myself achieving number 22 in the charts. Elbow also headlined two sell-out tours of their largest venues yet in Autumn 2005 and February 2006.
March 17th 2008 saw the release of Elbow's fourth album, entitled The Seldom Seen Kid. Released through Fiction, it entered the UK album chart at number 5, and went on to win the 2008 Mercury Music Award. One track, The Fix, features guest vocals and lead guitar by Richard Hawley.
