Join Neil Hannon and his band as they return with their latest orchestral pop masterpiece, Rainy Sunday Afternoon.

Returning for the first time since their epic five show residency in 2022, The Divine Comedy bring us new music from their forthcoming album, Rainy Sunday Afternoon.

Following the success of Office Politics and Charmed Life, Neil Hannon is back with a deeply personal album blending humour, melancholy, and orchestral grandeur. Recorded at Abbey Road and entirely written, arranged, and produced by Hannon, Rainy Sunday Afternoon reflects on themes of memory, mortality, and the chaos of modern life.

As They embark on their October UK tour, expect a night of masterful storytelling, rich arrangements, and captivating new music, including the recently released track Achilles. Known for his theatrical live performances, Hannon’s wit, emotion, and impeccable musicianship makes this a must-see show.

Support comes from Studio Electrophonique.
