Belle and Sebastian


Royal Albert Hall, June 22 and 23, 2016

Belle and Sebastian, those purveyors of lyrically wry indie-pop, celebrate what will be their twentieth anniversary by performing their first two albums, ‘Tigermilk’ and ‘If You're Feeling Sinister’ – both released in 1996 – over two nights at the Albert Hall. It promises to be a fantastic treat for casual fans and duffel-coated obsessives alike.
