Richard Ashcroft

Richard Ashcroft stands as one of Britain’s most enduring singer-songwriters, with a distinct voice in alternative and indie rock. Renowned for his evocative lyricism and soulful delivery, Ashcroft continues to shape the contemporary live music landscape. Recent years have seen him headline a series of major venues, including the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, The O2 in London, M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, and Manchester’s Co-op Live, affirming his reputation as a commanding presence on any concert stage.

2025 and 2026 mark another creative high for Ashcroft, with the release of his album Lovin’ You, available on LP, CD, cassette, and digital platforms.

These works demonstrate Ashcroft’s ability to draw inspiration from classic material while maintaining a distinctly modern sound.

Festival appearances are also on the horizon, with headline sets scheduled at the Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington, Victorious Festival in Portsmouth, and Rock N Roll Circus at Sheffield’s Don Valley Bowl, among others.
