From a brand new Mogwai tour to a mind-bending surrealist techno rave, Manchester’s Albert Hall celebrates its 10th anniversary year with a captivatingly eclectic events schedule for early 2023.
Featuring trippy decorations, inflatables, interactive characters and ‘a sea of chaotic confetti’, Down the Rabbit Hole promises ‘raving like never before’ amidst surreal theatrics and ‘myriad melting moments’ set to six hours of neuron-stalling house and tech music.
One of the first acts ever to grace the Albert Hall stage, with several memorable performances in the interceding years, Mogwai return to Manchester as part of their new tour, with a setlist including beloved classics and characteristically innovative tracks from their latest album, As The Love Continues. Reforming after 25 years, during which time they garnered cult support from Trent Reznor, The Flaming Lips and Mogwai themselves, Brainiac also perform as special guests.
Tickets to Mogwai’s performance on Fri 10 Feb have already sold out, so book fast to avoid disappointment.
Featuring ‘buoyant guitar hooks and earworm melodies…coalesced with lyrics about teenage romance and tribulations in rural Ireland’, The Academic arrive at Albert Hall following the whirlwind success of their 2018 debut album, Tales from the Backseat, which hit #1 in the Irish charts and produced an extensive world tour.
Following their return to live music in 2022 with sets at Primavera Sound, VYV Festival and Solidays, The Murder Capital take to the Albert Hall stage for a rabidly anticipated performance which kicks off their latest album tour, Gigi’s Recovery, set for release on Fri 20 Jan.
