Celebrated for their constant sonic evolution, legendary experimental rock group Swans bring their UK Tour to Albert Hall with a selection of fan favourites spanning their 40-year existence.

Performing songs from a glittering solo career which has produced seventeen albums, including the acclaimed Paris 1919 and his most recent record, MERCY, the accomplished multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and founding member of The Velvet Underground stops at Albert Hall for the final night of a summer-long European tour.
Following their recent sold-out UK tour, contemporary Irish folk group LANKUM kick off Albert Hall’s 2024 schedule with a selection of songs from an oeuvre which offers ‘a creative expression of the internal, external, spiritual, historical, contemporary and cosmic all at once’ (Irish Times).
