Indie rockers alt-J are set to return in 2027 when they will bring their Then Again tour to Cardiff as part of a series of headline shows and festival appearances.
Bringing together music from across their acclaimed catalogue, the band will headline DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle on Sunday July 18 in a run of just four headline shows visiting some of the country’s most iconic live music venues.
Pre sale tickets are available at 10am Thursday via www.depotlive.co.uk/altj and all tickets go on general sale at 10am Friday November 20 via depotlive.co.uk and ticketmaster.co.uk
The shows come 15 years after the release of alt-J’s Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut An Awesome Wave, the album that introduced them to audiences around the world. The band will draw from across their catalogue, bringing together the songs that have defined their career for audiences across the UK and beyond.
alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Since getting together while studying at university, they have released three studio albums that, between them, have sold in excess of two million copies and their songs have been streamed more than two billion times.
Multi-award winning An Awesome Wave was followed two years later by their UK number one, GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album This Is All Yours. Released in 2017, RELAXER flew straight into the Top 10 of the UK Album Chart ahead of a summer of major international shows – including a headline show at London’s O2 Arena, and headline performances at numerous festivals, becoming their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.
alt-J, Mariah Carey, Public Service Broadcasting, Franky Rizardo, The Corrs, Kraftwerk, Sonny Fodera, Bananarama, Ronan Keating, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, Jack Savoretti and James Morrison are among the first headline announcements for DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle 2027 which is presented by promoters DEPOT Live and Cuffe and Taylor.
DEPOT Live founder Nick Saunders said: “We’re delighted Cardiff is one of the four dates selected by alt-J for this very special headline tour.
“Their music defines a generation. They are a homegrown British band who have enjoyed incredible success, and adding them to our bill brings yet more variety to summer 2027 to ensure we are reaching as wide an audience as possible with DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle.”
