  • Thirty Years of the Divine Comedy Wed 1 – Sun 5 Sep 2021, Barbican Hall, 7.30Pm Tickets £25 – 40 Plus Booking Fee
    JUST ANNOUNCED Rescheduled: Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time – Thirty Years of The Divine Comedy Wed 1 – Sun 5 Sep 2021, Barbican Hall, 7.30pm Tickets £25 – 40 plus booking fee Today the Barbican announces rescheduled dates for Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time – Thirty Years of The Divine Comedy, a celebration of the band’s thirtieth anniversary. The five-night concert-run by The Divine Comedy was originally planned for 2 – 6 September 2020 but can no longer go ahead due to the Covid-19 restrictions. In consultation with the Barbican and Cité de la Musique the band have decided to delay their London and Paris residencies till next year. The Barbican concerts will now take place Wed 1 – Sun 5 September 2021. Performing as an eleven-piece ensemble, they will play two albums in full each night in chronological order as follows: • Liberation / Promenade (Wed 1 Sep 2021) • Casanova / A Short Album About Love (Thu 2 Sep 2021) • Fin de Siecle / Regeneration (Fri 3 Sep 2021) • Absent Friends / Victory For The Comic Muse (Sat 4 Sep 2021) • Bang Goes The Knighthood / Foreverland (Sun 5 Sep 2021) The band will repeat the five nights at the Cité de la Musique in Paris later in September 2021. In 1990 Neil Hannon signed his first deal and started releasing records under the name The Divine Comedy. Thirty years, twelve great albums and hundreds of mesmerising live shows later, Hannon is rightly adjudged one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation. To mark the anniversary, Divine Comedy Records are remastering and reissuing nine of the band's classic albums on CD, LP and digital.

  • The Divine Comedy: Live from the Barbican
    The Divine Comedy: Live from the Barbican Start time: 8pm Approximate running time: 60 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Neil Hannon and Martin Aston discuss The Divine Comedy’s 30th anniversary celebrations. Released in June 2019, The Divine Comedy’s twelfth album Office Politics was a concept record about the workplace, ‘An anxious, dystopian record,’ Neil Hannon recalls. Fifteen months later, the band’s core member is confronting a situation that’s defined by anxiety and feels uncannily dystopian. Most office workers are working from home and gatherings of people are discouraged. Instead of the five scheduled Barbican shows celebrating The Divine Comedy’s 30th anniversary, each showcasing two albums from their illustrious history, there is this one-off streamed and socially-distanced event with a hits and fan favourites focus. ‘We’re really missing something without a full-capacity audience, all the buzz and adrenalin,’ says Hannon. ‘We’ll just have to use our imagination instead.’ Hannon’s imagination has guided him towards a divine and comedic style of chamber-pop, shot through with a streak of 60s classicism. For the full works, there is a new twelve–volume box set, Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time, named after the painting (circa 1545) by Agnolo Bronzino, ‘because it sums up everything I’ve ever written about,’ Hannon explains. ‘Sex, love, a lot of folly, and the passing of time.’ The box set comes with archive-raiding bonus tracks and photos, plus extensive liner notes by Hannon. ‘Helping put all that together is what I’ve mostly done during lockdown,’ he recalls.

    ANALYSIS The Official UK Singles & Albums Charts are compiled by the Official Charts Company, based on a sample of more than 15,000 physical and digital outlets. They count actual sales and audio streams from last Friday to Thursday, based on sales of downloads, CDs, vinyl and other physical formats and audio streams weighted using SEA2 methodology. Great Scot: Lewis Capaldi stays at No.1 for a fourth week Q BY ALAN JONES ales of Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent continue to ebb, but the 22-year-old Scot Sremains atop the chart for the fourth week in a row with 27,590 units sold (including 14,983 from sales-equivalent streams). The last album by a new artist to debut at No.1 and take longer to be dethroned was X Factor winner Leona Lewis’ Spirit, which racked up seven straight weeks in 2007. Capaldi has already denied The National and Skepta of No.1 albums, and this week his extended reign foils the Jonas Brothers, whose first album in a decade, Happiness Begins, settles for a No.2 debut (14,120 sales), although it tops the cassette album chart (1,439 sales). Their fifth album, it is the trio’s highest charting set to date, surpassing the No.9 debut/ No.1 peak achieved by both their eponymous second album in 2008, and the following year’s Lines, Vines And Trying Times.
