Hull band LIFE plays two nights at The New Adelphi, reshaping songs from their four albums into two different live sets.
LIFE are playing The New Adelphi Club on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 December, two nights in a row. It's a residency rather than a single show, and the whole point is that the two nights aren't the same: they're digging back through four albums' worth of songs and reshaping them into two different sets, each with its own handpicked setlist and mood. You'll get bangers, deep cuts, hidden gems and stripped-back versions, so if you go to both, you're seeing two distinct takes on the same catalogue.
That catalogue runs back a fair way. Their fourth album, ABSTRACT / NATURAL, pulls together folklore, myth and landscape around themes of escapism and journey, and it follows Popular Music (2017), A Picture of Good Health (2019) and North East Coastal Town (2022). They're an alternative four-piece from Hull, proudly independent and driven by a DIY ethos rooted in community, and they've built a reputation for intense, intimate live shows.
They've played their fair share of bigger stages too. They're firm favourites at BBC 6 Music, have supported IDLES and Nadine Shah, and have played festivals including Glastonbury, All Points East, Reading & Leeds, Latitude and SXSW. The Guardian, Dork and Steve Lamacq have all written about them. The New Adelphi Club itself is one of Hull's most iconic independent rooms, a legendary grassroots venue that's helped launch countless artists.

Both nights start from 8:00 PM, and tickets are £15. Since the sets are different, it's two separate shows rather than one split over a weekend.
