By Clara Michel

On Friday 26 April 2024, Sampha performed his biggest headline show to date at Alexandra Palace.

After a triumphant return to the music scene with his latest masterpiece LAHAI, which followed the success of his Mercury Prize-winning debut album Process, Sampha captivated our 10,000-strong audience with his unique sound, a bold jazz jam-inspired stage layout and a string of guest appearances ranging from Jessie Ware, Little Simz, Ghetts and Lil Silva to trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey of KOKOROKO.
