Following a sold-out headline show at KOKO, corto.alto is continuing to build momentum, and this event promises to be a highlight of the year. Tickets for the event will go on sale on 15 May at 10am, with early bird tickets priced at £28.00 and tier 2 tickets available at £31.92.

🎫 Tickets on sale Friday 15 May at 10am | Early Bird £28.00, Tier 2 £31.92 Fresh from a triumphant 2025, crowned by an AIM ‘Breakthrough Artist’ win and a sold-out KOKO headline, corto.alto is a formidable force in global music. The moniker of Glasgow-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Liam Shortall, the project is a masterclass in subverting expectations. Shortall’s sound is a high-octane collision of his Royal Conservatoire training and Glasgow’s fertile underground scene. It’s where jazz improvisation meets the heavy pulse of club culture, hip-hop, and soul. Following his Mercury Prize-nominated debut Bad With Names and the innovative 30/108 project, Shortall continues to push boundaries with new releases like ‘THIEF’ and the Mick Jenkins collaboration, ‘WHODIS’. Renowned for a blistering live show that sees Shortall pivot between bass, trombone, and electronics, the corto.alto band has captivated audiences from Montreal Jazz Fest to the Barrowlands. This UK and EU tour marks the next frontier for one of the most vital live acts in modern music.
