Mystical songwriter and one time member of the Teardrop Explodes Julian Cope will be among the artists performing Roundhouse: In the Round in 2017.

Taking place 26 January - 4 February 2017, the gig series will see a series of intimate performances in a rarely seen fully seated concert set up in the iconic main space.

According to the venue, 2017’s In the Round series will see a number of debuts with Nashville’s Lambchop opening proceedings on the first night.

Other artists to perform include Dublin’s Lisa Hannigan, Martha Wainwright and Ed Harcourt as well as Orchestra Baobab, one of Africa's top supergroups.

Julian Cope will be the final artist to perform at the iconic venue on 4 February as part of a UK tour.

As part of the Roundhouse’s work with young people, support acts will all be emerging artists who have progressed their careers through the Paul Hamlyn Roundhouse Studios. This space offers life-changing creative opportunities for thousands of young people each year.
