About the event
From See Tickets's listing
corto.alto - AKA multi-instrumentalist producer, composer and performer Liam Shortall - announces his EU and UK tour in Autumn 2026. Having closed 2025 with a win for 'Breakthrough Artist' at the AIM Awards in London, and a triumphant sold-out show at the legendary KOKO in London, Shortall and the corto.alto live band have continued to tour throughout 2026, with over 40 shows in the US and EU in the Spring, and more US and Canada shows later this year, as well as festival appearances at We Out Here, WOMAD, Montreal Jazz Fest and many more. In parallel, the band has been releasing new music , 'WHODIS' in collaboration with legendary Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins, as well as their brand new single 'THIEF' out on the 12th of May, continuing to showcase the new frontier of corto.alto's music. With new material on the horizon, the band will further consolidate their reputation as one of the best live bands around with a run of headline shows across Europe and the UK in Oct and Nov 2026. It's been an intense but rewarding few years for Shortall and his corto.alto project (the stage name a nod to his Irish-Spanish heritage, translating as "short.tall" in Spanish). The release of his debut album 'Bad With Names' saw him nominated for the 2024 Mercury Music Prize - alongside fellow Scot and…

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Bedford: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
