Richard Ashcroft confirms Manchester gig - and tickets go on sale tomorrow

Richard Ashcroft has announced that he will be performing a headline show in Manchester this autumn. The former Verve frontman shared that he will be coming to the AO Arena for one night in October.

Tickets for the event went on pre-sale today, with general sale going live tomorrow (Friday, March 25). The tour comes in support of last year’s ‘Acoustic Hymns Vol.1’, his sixth solo studio album, which revisits some of his best-loved work.

In late 2020, Richard announced a pair of acoustic evenings celebrating his repertoire of solo and Verve compositions at the London Palladium that were rescheduled to October 2021. This year, he’s set to perform in Edinburgh, Leeds and Nottingham in July, followed by London in August.

Announcing the new dates, a tweet from his account read: “Richard announces new October headline shows in Manchester and Brighton Tickets go on general sale 9:30am Friday. But Fans can get presale ticket access from 9:30am Thursday.”

He’ll perform at Manchester’s AO Arena on October 14, and in Brighton the following night. Based on the prices of tickets already available for his summer shows, tickets for his Manchester show are expected to cost between £50 and £60 each.
