Black Box Recorder

The London Palladium, W1F 7TF , [Venue Details]

The highly acclaimed band has been on hiatus since their last concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2009.

Friday,
22 May 2026
@7.30pm

However, in 2023, unbeknownst to Black Box Recorder, their 1997 debut ‘England Made Me’ had been re-discovered by Billie Eilish, who began sharing their banned-by-the-BBC first single Child Psychology with her millions of fans on social media.

And so, in 2026, with nearly 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 100 million streams, Black Box Recorder will rise again to thank their legions of new fans at The London Palladium.

Originally conceived as an art/noise project, Black Box Recorder were formed in 1997 by Luke Haines, John Moore and Sarah Nixey. Once early attempts at ‘experimental noise’ were out of their system, it was down to the serious business of writing the songs that would appear on their debut album.

That record, England Made Me appeared in early 1998 and was a state of the nation address, with recording having begun on the day Tony Blair’s New Labour government took power. The album was a critically acclaimed instant classic.
