in the dark / cathedral collaboration with we are sound

Described as "a show that redefines the live music experience", "one of those gigs I will take to my grave" and "the panacea the world needs right now", in the dark is a secret sound experience in total darkness where musicians perform live around the audience in full, un-amplified 360° sound. The set list is a secret and revealed to you as you leave - like Dans le Noir except here the art is music, not food. No phones. No distractions. No being watched, and no watching. Instead, an hour to completely tune out, and completely tune in. Because when you take sight away, the sound becomes everything.

in the dark is a 70 minute sound experience created by Bury-born musician Andrea Cockerton, that started in Cambridge, has gone on to be an acclaimed success in London, and is about to embark on a UK tour. For this one-off performance, the professional musicians from London join forces with the original Cambridge performers - We Are Sound. Together around 80 performers will take the audience on a sonic journey performed fully live and in total darkness.

All ticket holders are provided with sleep masks for the show, to take home afterwards, and don't worry if you get a little claustrophobic - there's a tiny bit of natural light coming into the space.

N.B. Max 6 tickets per booking to enable as many people to come as possible.

Important - due to the nature of the show we are not able to admit latecomers. Doors open 30 minutes before your show begins.  You will be met on the door by ushers who will guide you in low light to unreserved seating, and provide you with your sleep masks.... and once we go dark, we go dark.  We'll email you all this as a reminder closer to the day.

BAND A • always the best selling seats, situated right in the heart of the space for the best immersive 360° sound in the house

BAND B • seated to the sides of the nave, slightly away from the central sound but still immersed in the 360° experience

Please note that seating is unreserved within tiers, and all seats face the centre of the nave.
