Multi Award winning, sublime master of the expertly crafted emotionally charded anthem, Elbow, will perform live in Hong Kong on July 22nd.

This isn't just their first ever visit to the territory, but their one and only planned show anywhere in Asia this year. Major coup!

The five piece from Bury have released five albums to date, since forming in 1991. 'Asleep in the Back', 'Cast of Thousands' & 'Leaders o...f the Free World' cemented their reputation as songsmiths of the finest ilk - their emotional intimacy and political commentary striking a chord with a legion of dedicated followers.

It was 2008’s ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ however, that truly propelled this ‘thinking man’s band’, to one of the world’s elite groups. Winning the coveted Mercury Music Prize for album of the year, its success saw Elbow cross over into mass global appeal. Moreover, their special performance with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in 2009 ranks as one of the highlights of the former Beatles’ studio’s illustrious history. Along with their Mercury Prize, the group have scooped numerous other accolades including NME awards, Ivor Novellos and the 2009 Brit Award for Best British Band.

Live, Elbow are a momentous prospect. Their epic, heartfelt soundtracks best enjoyed in the live arena. They’ve toured the world playing the largest stages at the most respected events. The Hong Kong show will be a full band show, including a string section.

With their latest album ‘Build a Rocket Boys!’ reaching number 2 in the UK album charts in March this year, Elbow’s star continues to ever-rise. So do join Untitled Entertainment for this fantastic opportunity to witness true masters of their craft, as we continue on our mission of bringing the finest talent possible to Hong Kong.
