A damn fine musical treat is on it’s way and it comes in the form of UK rock group, Elbow, who have announced a second show at the Sydney Opera House on October 26.

Recently completing a UK arena tour and currently playing select festival dates, including last month’s Glastonbury festival and upcoming V Festival dates, Elbow return after an absence of more than two years for shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and at the iconic Sydney Opera House.

The band produces live shows as brilliantly as they do albums. Revered for their emotive tunes, they craft melodies simultaneously rousing and melancholy; rich layers of orchestration skilfully intertwined with beautifully eloquent, sentimental lyrics, highlighted by Guy Garvey’s almost angelic, unmistakably Mancunian vocals.

Elbow’s sixth studio album, ‘The Take Off and Landing of Everything’ (out now through Universal Music), delivered the band the highest charts debuts of their career including the top spot in both the UK and Ireland, and #12 on the Australian ARIA chart.

Elbow will be performing at the Sydney Opera House for two nights, Saturday and Sunday, 25-26 October. Tickets are on sale now.
