Elbow are set to rock Hampton Court Palace next summer.

Guy Garvey and co have been confirmed as the first headliners for the popular Hampton Court Palace Festival with the 'One Day Like This' group set to play the Tudor landmark's historic Base Court on June 20.

Frontman Guy remarked: "For summer '25, we're revisiting venues we've truly cherished and exploring some towns and cities we've missed over the years. There's unparalleled joy in spending an evening with long-standing friends."

An exclusive pre-sale will take place for subscribers to the band's newsletter on Thursday (17.10.24) with the general sale kicking off the following day, via hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com.

Earlier this year, the BRIT Award-winning group unveiled their 10th studio album, 'Audio Vertigo,' which became Elbow's fourth chart-topping album in the UK.

Guy discussed their conscious decision to avoid composing songs about the world's "troubling" issues for their more optimistic record.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: “We live in a troubling age. And I started writing my feelings on many issues, but I thought, not only do I not want to finish this, but I also don’t want to listen to it.

“Everybody’s on the same page in terms of fear and division and whatever side of whatever argument you’re on, everyone’s frightened and angry. The album is distracting from, rather than reflecting all the things that everybody is worried about."

The 50-year-old vocalist also humorously noted that touring has become more challenging now that he's in his fifties.

He quipped: “Controlling my booze consumption worries me far more than the performances. And also sleeping on tour buses with our 50-year-old bodies — I might need a back crack after a few days.

“No, we are buzzing. These are really exciting songs and we can’t wait to play them live. We haven’t played for a year and a half, so playing the old stuff, will be something too. We just can’t wait.”
