Featuring show-stopping anniversary celebrations, halcyon Garage raves and the return of Inspiral Carpets, Albert Hall’s 2025 gig schedule brings another unmissable line-up of homegrown and international talent to the city with a diverse series of live concerts to satisfy music-lovers of every taste and generation.
On Mon 20 Oct, Chicago rockers Beach Bunny arrive in Manchester with a performance of their hotly anticipated new record, Tunnel Vision.
Backed by frenetic, infectious guitar riffs throughout, Tunnel Vision sees the band embrace the beauty of indie rock simplicity with pop-infused melodies, propulsive basslines, distortion-happy licks and brash, uninhibited drums, tied together by the tender yet buoyant vocals of singer Lili Trifilio.
Described as ‘an unstoppable force in rock from the Welsh Valleys’, Those Damn Crows stop by Albert Hall with a setlist of beloved favourites and new tunes from their latest album, God Shaped Hole.
Known around the UK and beyond as a forefather of Garage, MJ Cole celebrates twenty-five years of his Mercury Prize-nominated album Sincere with a nationwide tour.
Featuring iconic tracks like Sincere and Crazy Love, MJ Cole’s seminal record became the heartbeat of a unique British culture and defined a generation of revellers, with sparkling, dynamic sounds and soulful rhythms. His legacy stretches across time, and still ignites dancefloors around the country with an eternal place in the nation’s musical pantheon.
On Sat 13 Dec, hometown legends Inspiral Carpets return to Albert Hall with another spectacular gig following their wildly successful 2023 reformation.
With bassist Martyn Walsh back in the fold, Inspiral Carpets are set to resurrect their glorious heyday with a one-off show that promises to be bigger and better than ever.
‘It’s great to have Martyn back, I’ve missed him: he’s charmingly funny,’ smiles Graham before Clint adds, ‘It’s great that Martyn’s getting back on board. I’m convinced the next part of our story will be monumental’.
