Featuring cult death metal legends, achingly nostalgic indie riffs and brand new music from contemporary hip-hop pioneers, Albert Hall’s upcoming live concert programme gathers the best multi-genre musicians and performance artists from Britain and beyond for another series of unmissable gigs throughout the remainder of 2025 and into the new year.
On Mon 10 Nov, the internationally renowned spoken word master, poet and all-round creative polymath Kae Tempest brings her fifth studio album Self Titled to life in Manchester as part of a UK and EU tour.
Billed as her most intimate and vulnerable project to date, Kae’s forthcoming album is born from a collaboration with the GRAMMY-winning producer behind some of Stormzy’s and Adele’s biggest hits, imbuing his work with a raft of new ideas and fresh vigour. In Self Titled, Kae reconnects with his Hip Hop roots while paying homage to contemporary pop in an electrifying showcase of the artist’s signature flair.
This autumn, indie legend Baxter Dury is set to drop his brand-new album Allbarone and celebrate its release with a hotly anticipated show at Albert Hall on Sat 15 Nov.
Working alongside totemic producer and songwriter Paul Epworth, Dury has created a pared-back leviathan of a record which sees the artist at his most melodically direct and futuristic.
Arriving in Manchester early 2026 with an extra date added due to popular demand, beloved London rock outfit White Lies take over Albert Hall next January with two shows as part of their imminent UK tour.
Recently, the band has shared a new track, Nothing On Me, which precedes more new music ahead of the gigs.
Listen to their new tune and book tickets below.
On Fri 13 Feb, Scottish noughties rock icons The Fratellis mark twenty years of their smash-hit album Costello Music with a marquee show at Albert Hall, with a setlist of timeless classics including Whistle For The Choir, Henrietta and the world-altering Chelsea Dagger.
