John Grant

John Grant made his Bradford headline debut in 2025.

The incomparable singer-songwriter performed his first headline show in the city – exclusively live for Bradford 2025.

John Grant’s music is both intimate and universal, heartbreakingly tragic and savagely funny. 2024’s The Art of the Lie was arguably the best album yet by this singular singer – and we were delighted to welcome him to Bradford for his first ever headline show in the city.

The former Czars frontman has played and sung with a who’s-who of contemporary pop superstars: from Kylie Minogue to Sinead O’Connor, Elbow to Robbie Williams. But the charismatic singer is at his best when he’s left to his own devices – as you’ll discover if you join us at St George’s Hall for this unmissable one-off show.

Eloquent and erudite... The Art Of The Lie is a rich and dense record that rewards repeated, attentive listening... Yet despite the lyrical prowess on display, it’s the incredibly detailed soundscape that really impresses... Grant is well on the way to creating a musical language all his own.”
