Elbow will take to the stage in the gardens on Thursday, July 3, as part of a “weekend of unique performances” there, according to promoters Futuresound.
The announcement comes after Shed Seven and Jack Savoretti – along with guests including Pete Doherty – played to sold out crowds at Museum Gardens this summer for the first time since the 1970s and 80s, when it hosted the likes of Roxy Music.
As The Press reported, a single noise complaint following the gigs was dismissed by the council, meaning more can take place.
Shed Seven frontman Rick Witter previously told The Press this was “brilliant news” and called for “something like this to happen every summer”.
“We do a lot of these shows around the country every summer,” he said. “Why should York miss out on it?"
Billie Marten and Eliza Carthy & The Restitution will join Elbow on July 3.
Elbow arrived on the music scene in 2008 with the rock band’s release of The Seldom Seen Kid, which resulted in the group winning that year’s Mercury Music Prize.
