Mercury Rev return to Manchester next autumn for a special night at The Ritz, celebrating 25 years of their spellbinding fifth album All Is Dream.
Released in 2001, the record remains one of the band’s most beloved, pairing orchestral grandeur with some of their most iconic tracks, including The Dark Is Rising and Tides of the Moon.
The American psychedelic-rock pioneers bring their cinematic sound back to the U.K. on 16 October 2026, joined by Mick Harvey and Amanda Acevedo, who open the show. Expect a transportive performance from a band long praised for pushing the boundaries of indie rock, weaving together lush arrangements, soaring vocals and a catalogue that continues to influence new generations of artists.
Honouring a landmark moment in their career, the anniversary tour also coincides with Cherry Red’s new 25th Anniversary Double Black Vinyl Edition of All Is Dream, complete with exclusive gatefold packaging and a bonus disc of B-sides and out-takes. This is a rare chance to experience Mercury Rev’s visionary sound—alive, expansive and as evocative as ever—within the historic surroundings of The Ritz.
