From captivating trap prodigies and afrobeats pioneers to 90s rock legends and fifty-year titans of experimental innovation, Albert Hall blazes into the new year with another unmissable gig programme in Manchester’s historic epicentre of international live music.
Blending aspects of both rap and amapiano with his distinctive Afrobeats verve, multi-talented Nigerian musician Adekunle Gold performs at Albert Hall following the release of his bombastic, infectious new EP Tio Tequila.
Produced by Kel-P, widely regarded as one of the influential, pioneering West African music masters – Gold’s latest record offers a package of bright, irresistible hits guaranteed to satisfy long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Stopping in Manchester as part of a three-leg UK tour, celebrated and singular rapper Yung Gravy brings his soul and oldies-inflected trap styles to Albert Hall, as he continues his meteoric musical rise with recent acclaim for Baby Gravy 3 and a feature song on the Good Burger 2 soundtrack.
Formed in 1972, broad-base experimental icons The Residents are widely considered to be originators of performance art and the music video in its modern form. On Wed 3 Apr, the cult pioneers bring a wildly eclectic setlist spanning trance, world fusion, electronica, punk, industrial and even lounge music.
Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of their definitive 90s zeitgeist smash hit, One Week, the legendary multi-platinum Canadian rock band hits the Albert Hall stage on Thu 11 Apr with a setlist of golden era classics and new songs from their latest album, In Flight.
