Elbow return to Australia for their first shows since 2009. Guy Garvey will lead the Mancurian five piece in three headline shows this July – in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney – ahead of their appearance at Splendour In The Grass.

Tickets for the headline shows go on sale Friday May 27.

This year Elbow have delivered another collection of lush, orchestral and typically graceful sounds, complimented by Garveyʼs gravelly, emotive vocals – ʻBuild A Rocket Boys!ʼ.

Debuting at #13 in Australia, ʻBuild A Rocket Boys!ʼ is their fifth studio album in a ten-year-plus career, and follows earlier offerings, the critically acclaimed ʻAsleep In The Backʼ, ʻCast of Thousandsʼ, ʻLeaders of the Free Worldʼ and ʻThe Seldom Seen Kidʼ.

It was in 2008 – 09 that commercial success finally caught up to the peer adulation and critical acclaim Elbow had long been receiving.

The release of their fourth studio album ʻThe Seldom Seen Kidʼ made the world take note, earning numerous accolades, amongst them the 2008 Mercury Music Prize, Ivor Novello awards and the 2009 Brit Award for Best British Band.

During this time Elbow delivered stand-out performances at V Festival Australia 2009, along with three sold out sideshows, Beat Magazine declaring a “near God experience” and Inpress exclaiming “this is an evening of triumph”.

Donʼt miss the return of one of Britianʼs most beloved bands, Elbow, performing at:

PERTH – METRO CITY – MONDAY JULY 25
MELBOURNE – PALACE THEATRE – WEDNESDAY JULY 27
SYDNEY – ENMORE THEATRE – FRIDAY JULY 29
