"The only brass band to have a No 1 album in the official Classical Music chart, the only brass band to have appeared on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury and is also a highlight of the 2026 BBC Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, the pedigree of Black Dyke is unparalleled."
The band has released more than 350 recordings and continues to tour internationally, maintaining its reputation as a must-see ensemble in the brass band world.
The performance will feature a mix of traditional repertoire and contemporary pieces, showcasing the band’s versatility and musicianship.
