Elbow Announce Tour Dates

Following their phenomenal return to the UK music scene with the critically adulated fourth studio album, The Seldom Seen Kid, Elbow will embark on their second UK tour October 2008. With their latest release Elbow have firmly cemented their position as one of the UK's most valued bands, with the album securing their fourth consecutive 9/10 review in the NME (a unique feat not achieved by any other band in the history of the magazine), scores of glowing reviews and a declaration from The Times that The Seldom Seen Kid is 'surely one of the year's best records'.

The year has already seen some memorable Elbow shows with praise from across the board for the band. Expect 'a show of delicate finesse and brutal booming beauty' (Daily Telegraph) containing 'a spellbinding set of songs that keep them stratospheres above the majority of modern British rock groups' (NME). Those who saw the band's recent show as part of Massive Attack's Meltdown at the Royal Festival Hall, the celebratory Brixton Academy show at the close of their first, sold out UK tour this year or their spellbinding set in Cheshire's Delamere Forest to a 5,000 plus strong crowd will know what to expect, a show that rightly demands that Elbow be recognised as 'one of Britain's best bands' (The Times).
