TALK TALK MUSICIANS REUNITE FOR SPECIAL ONE-OFF TRIBUTE EVENT

Talk Talk musicians will reunite alongside a specially curated ensemble of collaborators for a unique one-off live event at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday 5th September 2026 – marking seven years since their last performance together in tribute to Talk Talk and Mark Hollis.

The performance will feature a selection of songs from Talk Talk’s seminal album The Colour of Spring, in celebration of the 40th anniversary. 

Bringing together founding member Simon Brenner alongside Talk Talk musicians Phil Ramocon and Ian Curnow, the event will feature an extended live band including Sophie Barker (Zero 7), Gale Paridjanian (Turin Brakes), Tim Elsenburg (Sweet Billy Pilgrim), Chris Hampson and Jacob Brown.

Guest collaborations on the night will include Ed Harcourt, Fyfe Dangerfield (Guillemots), and Mark Gardener (Ride), with further special guests to be announced.

Mark Hollis collaborator Phil Ramocon will act as musical director and arranger for the performance, shaping a live interpretation that honours the depth, atmosphere and musical legacy of Talk Talk’s later work.

The evening will also feature special support sets from Ed Harcourt and Fyfe Dangerfield.

A rare and carefully curated live moment, this event celebrates the enduring influence of Talk Talk – a band whose work continues to resonate across generations of artists and audiences alike.
