The best gigs coming to Albert Hall FT Gogol Bordello, RY X and CAST

On Sun 23 Mar, GRAMMY-nominated artist and producer RY X performs his countless oeuvre of eclectic, deeply resonant works for one night only at Albert Hall.

Having collaborated with the likes of the LA and London Philharmonic orchestras and appeared in an array of iconic venues, RY X’s unique artistic odyssey embodies his staunch commitment to individual expression and emotional vulnerability across a diverse body of work.

With an illustrious career spanning over forty years, the former Orange Juice frontman Edwyn Collins performs on Tue 7 Oct following the forthcoming release of his tenth studio album, Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation.

Described as ‘thought-provoking, finely wrought and frankly hummable’, Collins’s latest record features lead single The Heart is A Foolish Little Thing, alongside a new slate of tracks promising to showcase some of the artist’s most intricate work to date.

Promising a night of trademark eclecticism and powerful ballads, legendary punk band Gogol Bordello arrive in Manchester with their iconic brand of energetic, righteous music, powering halls and stadiums alike with an irresistible setlist including classic hits and an arsenal of new tracks inspired by the injustice of atrocities around the world.

Marking thirty years of their beloved album All Change, the renowned Liverpudlian outfit CAST take to the Albert Hall stage to perform the record in full, fresh from the release of their latest work, Love is the Call – which achieved their highest chart position in 25 years.

Support on the night is from Manchester band Pastel.

Stopping by Albert Hall as part of his hotly anticipated debut UK tour, Oregonian singer-songwriter Max McNown brings his poignant, nuanced melodies to Manchester for the first time on Wed 3 Dec.

Following the success of his three achingly beautiful EPs, all released within a year of his self-taught guitar journey, the Nashville-based musician has earned glowing acclaim for his ability to conjure the intense heartache and profound loss of our most intimate moments, with an endearingly warm vocal presence and potent yet delicate lyricism.
