In a Space Outta Delight: Live from Royal Albert Hall
In March 2026, Nightmares On Wax performed at the Royal Albert Hall to mark two landmark anniversaries. Producer George Evelyn re-imagined his albums In a Space Outta Sound (20th anniversary) and Smokers Delight (30th anniversary) in a one-night special show.
The performance featured a full live band, string quartet, choir, guest vocalists and surprise collaborators, brought together with striking visual and sonic production. The resulting two-part concert film, In a Space Outta Delight, was directed by Pedro Takahashi and produced by Friend. Part 1, Smokers Delight, premieres on 30 July, and Part 2, In a Space Outta Sound, on 2 August – exclusively on YouTube.
Ahead of the YouTube premiere, here in Evelyn’s hometown of Leeds, we will host a one-night-only special premiere event on Sat 25 July.
Nightmares On Wax became one of the most influential and genre-defining acts to emerge from the UK. As Warp Records’ longest-serving artist, his unique blend of dub, soul, hip-hop, electronica, and sound-system culture helped shape an entire generation of music lovers. From early underground classics like A Word of Science to the defining chill-out masterpiece Smokers Delight, his work has inspired everyone from DJs and beatmakers to festival curators and sonic explorers across the globe.
In a Space Outta Delight is a celebration of legacy and musical freedom – one night honouring the past, present and future of Nightmares On Wax, in the city where it all began.
