What to know before you go

Check the door time listed by the official ticket seller. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to clear security and reach your section.
Security check: most venues prohibit professional cameras, large bags and outside food. Check the venue's official policy before traveling.
Bring the same payment card or QR code you used at checkout. Some venues no longer print physical tickets — phone screen is enough.
Dress for the genre and the weather — outdoor shows can get cold after sunset. Comfortable shoes for standing-only sections.

The GoAllConcerts take

Ibibio Sound Machine has 23 dates between October 2026 and May 2027, spread across seven countries. Our view is that the UK run is the one to catch early. It opens on 22 October 2026 at the Gosforth Civic Theatre in Newcastle, then moves through Edinburgh, Nottingham and the Musicport Festival in Whitby. This is a show for people who want to dance to an eight-piece band, with Eno Williams out front and a sound that joins afro-funk and electronics. When buying, note that Leeds has two nights in a row at the Brudenell Social Club in November 2026, so you can pick the day that suits you. Anyone willing to travel also has stops in Stockholm, Abu Dhabi and Berlin.
