Max Richter Plans Largest Ever Sleep Residency Alexandra Palace London

Max Richter is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his groundbreaking 2015 album 'SLEEP' with two major live performances at London's Alexandra Palace on September 5 and 6, marking the first time he has played the album in London since 2017. The all-night concerts will be the largest 'SLEEP' shows to date, continuing the tradition of immersive musical experiences that explore the interaction between sound and the sleeping mind. Alongside the live shows, Richter is releasing a new album, 'Sleep Circle,' a 90-minute exploration of the hypnagogic state—the transitional phase between wakefulness and sleep—set for release on September 5 via Deutsche Grammophon. The new album was inspired by insights gained from performing 'SLEEP' in 2023 and features the single 'Dream 11 / Moth-Like Stars Pt. 2.' Both albums emphasize enhancing different stages of sleep through music, with 'SLEEP' focusing on slow-wave sleep and 'Sleep Circle' on REM sleep. Fans can access an exclusive presale starting June 10, with general tickets available from June 12.
