Forget traditional concerts.

For 70 unforgettable minutes, audiences wear eye masks as 30 musicians and vocalists move silently around them, creating an incredible 360-degree soundscape featuring beautifully reimagined music from Coldplay, Mumford & Sons and more.

In The Dark, a live music experience that offers a one-of-a-kind journey into sound, is on its first ever UK tour with dates in 2026 and 2027.

It follows several critically acclaimed, sold-out seasons in London.

As well as touring outside the capital for the first time, audiences at its London dates will be treated to an entirely new production created especially for the tour: PULSE.

There is no stage. There is no lighting of any kind. With the audience wear ingeye masks throughout, sight is removed entirely and senses recalibrate, with attention shifting wholly to sound.

Audio is heightened, visceral, with an ever changing live 360 sound wall of live music that moves, swells and recedes around every seat in the room.

The 2026 leg calls is also taking in Bristol Cathedral, St Albans Cathedral, All Saints Hove, Tewkesbury Abbey and Guildford Cathedral, alongside London dates at St John’s Hyde Park, Southwark Cathedral and St Andrew’s Holborn.

In 2027, In The Dark will visit Salisbury Cathedral, Chester Cathedral, Lichfield Cathedral, Stoke Kings Hall, Rochester Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral, Norwich Cathedral, Peterborough Cathedral, Lancing College, King’s Lynn Minster, Beverley Minster and Coventry Cathedral.

Each date features a matinee and an evening performance.

These historic buildings, centuries old and built to carry sound, become part of the performance itself – each venue’s natural acoustic shaping the show as much as the musicians do.

The tour brings HUSH, In The Dark’s critically acclaimed show built around slowing down and switching off the outside world, with arrangements of songs by Sigur Rós, Coldplay, Ólafur Arnalds, Mumford & Sons and more.

At its London dates, audiences will experience PULSE for the first time: a more propulsive, rhythm-driven production, built around the same musicians and immersive approach, with reworkings of songs by M83, Nils Frahm, The Cinematic Orchestra, Bon Iver and Peter Gabriel.

In The Dark was founded by Andrea Cockerton in Cambridge in 2017, growing from its original sold-out shows into a full London season in 2024, performed by professional musicians drawn from the West End, the Royal College of Music, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and other leading institutions.

That season won the Offies Assessors’ Choice award, and In The Dark has since presented more than 60 performances to over 12,000 people.
