DON’T MISS PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING LIVE AT ALEXANDRA PALACE – TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

Public Service Broadcasting are delighted to announce their biggest ever headline live show, taking place at London’s historic Alexandra Palace on 26 September 2026, celebrating 10 (+1) years of their critically acclaimed second album, The Race For Space.

The announcement follows two sold-out Barbican shows last November, which sold out in minutes, alongside an extensive UK, European and North American tour – the band’s first North American dates in eight years.

Released in 2015, The Race For Space charts the American and Soviet space race across nine immersive tracks, constructed using archival audio from the British Film Institute. The album features John F. Kennedy’s landmark 1962 Rice University speech, the enduring live favourite “Go!” – an uplifting ode to Apollo 11 – and the pulsating synth intensity of “The Other Side”. The record peaked at No.11 on the UK Official Album Chart and reached No.1 on the UK Indie Albums Chart, and was certified Gold by the BPI in 2021.

Following their 2014 debut Inform – Educate – Entertain, The Race For Space established Public Service Broadcasting as one of the UK’s most distinctive and ambitious bands. Since then, each subsequent studio album has reached the UK Top 5, including Every Valley (2017), an exploration of Wales’ mining heritage, and Bright Magic (2021), a sonic journey through Berlin’s past.

Most recently, the band released 2024’s The Last Flight, a critically acclaimed chronicle of the life of aviator Amelia Earhart, evoking adventure, speed and freedom while delving into the psychological depths of a singular historical figure. Further releases include This New Noise, a remixed and remastered recording of their 2022 BBC Proms performance celebrating the centenary of the BBC, and Night Flight – The Last Flight Remixes, featuring reinterpretations from seven artists.

Speaking about the Alexandra Palace show, Public Service Broadcasting’s J. Willgoose, Esq., said: “Being able to come back to Alexandra Palace – where we first launched the album in 2014 – and play our biggest ever headline show, in support of The Race For Space, is very special. That record means a great deal to us as a band, and we know it’s similarly important for a lot of our fans; we’re hoping to create a truly memorable, celebratory experience that will live long in the memory.”
