IST IST have announced a huge homecoming show in Manchester for 2026.
Taking over the famous Albert Hall venue for one night only on Fri 1 May, the new show comes as the band mark their 10th Anniversary and prepare a brand new album for release.
Just out of the studio after finishing their keenly awaited fifth album (of which a handful of songs have already been peppered into the sets on their recent European shows), the Albert Hall show will be their biggest headline show so far and takes place over the bank holiday weekend.
Speaking about what to expect from the Albert Hall show, IST IST say: “Playing the Albert Hall in our home city is a bit of a pinch yourself moment for us but it’s also the culmination of over ten years of hard work as a band. It’ll be a big celebration for us and all our amazing fans who’ve been with us on this long and winding journey throughout the music industry, life, lockdowns and whatever else has been thrown at us along the way. We deserve it and they deserve it.”
Coincidentally, we recently kicked off our ‘You should be listening to…’ feature with Ist Ist, which you can read here.
With Very Special Guests to be announced, tickets for their Manchester date will go on general sale this Fri 5 Sep.
Fri 1 May, Albert Hall, 27 Peter St, Manchester M2 5QR
