Performance Notes | Richard Ashcroft is set to make a long-awaited return to live shows, and to the Royal Albert Hall, in 2021.
The two-time Ivor Novello winner (Songwriter of the Year in 1998 and Outstanding Contribution to British Music in 2019) last performed on our stage in 2003 for Teenage Cancer Trust. His 2021 show will be a special celebration from his repertoire of songs which will feature new interpretations of many of his classic solo and The Verve compositions.
During his time as the frontman of The Verve, he released one of the defining albums of the 90s in the shape of Urban Hymns, as well as a succession of anthems that remain staples of his live set today, including The Drugs Dont Work, Bitter Sweet Symphony, Lucky Man and Sonnet. Since then, Richard Ashcroft also released five Top 5 solo albums, including the #1 debut Alone With Everybody and his most recent effort, 2018s Natural Rebel. |
