Award-winning indie folk artist revisits his critically acclaimed album I Forget Where We Were ten years on
Ben Howard embarks on an anniversary tour of the UK in celebration of 10 years of I Forget Where We Were, which debuted at number one in the charts in 2014. Join us at Aviva Studios for a full live performance of the album.
Ben Howard burst on to the scene in 2011 with his debut LP Every Kingdom – before I Forgot Where We Were made him a household name. He received two Brit Awards in 2013 and has since toured the globe, including a performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. He released his 5th album Is It? last year in June 2023.
Enter the soaring spaces of the Warehouse to experience I Forget Where We Were like never before. Support comes from the multi-talented singer-songwriter Billie Marten.
