Herbie Hancock

The GRAMMY award-winning legend Herbie Hancock returns with three exclusive UK shows to celebrate his 85th birthday and 51 years since his first ever London show.

A global ambassador for jazz and a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Hancock’s influence and enduring legacy extends beyond music and continues to inspire generations.

This special three-night residency at the Barbican marks a historic milestone—51 years since his first London show.
