Celebrate three visionary female artists at Pitchblack Playback's triple-bill listening session in the dark on our powerful d&b audiotechnik sound system as part of our Reigning Women season. Come for as many or as few as you want, all on one ticket.
Alice Coltrane's mesmeric, Pharoah Sanders-featuring, spiritual jazz harp & sitar-fest, Journey In Satchidananda, celebrating its 55th anniversary.
PJ Harvey's politically-charged masterpiece, Let England Shake, celebrating its 15th anniversary.
And ROSALÍA's triumphant new album LUX - a Pitchblack Playback Best Album Of 2025 and The Guardian's #1.
Hear these immense records played loud in uncompressed audio. No distractions; just you and the music.
This is a seated album listening session in the dark, not a live performance of any kind. Your ticket price includes a Pitchblack Playback recycled cotton mask (for extra darkness!) We kindly ask you do not talk or sing at the event or use your phone during the event.
"This sounds great" - Rick Rubin
"A fabulous idea" - Jay Kay, Jamiroquai
