Royal Albert Hall associate artist Rhael ‘LionHeart’ Cape presents The Poets’ Revival, reigniting the prominence of contemporary British poetry with the help of the most culturally-relevant and accomplished performers of their generation:
Peabody Award-winner George the Poet
World Slam Poetry Champion Harry Baker
Mercury Prize-nominee and Sunday Times Bestseller Kae Tempest
Essayist and Young People’s Laureate of London Momtaza Mehri
Bestselling author and songwriter Sophia Thakur
YouTube sensation Suli Breaks

From recitals by Dylan Thomas, to an 18-year ban on poetry in 1966, to hosting the UK National Poetry Slam finals, the Royal Albert Hall has witnessed its fair share of poetical history.
Now, the Hall will once again become a forum of ideas and expression to champion change, providing a platform for the nation’s foremost wordsmiths to address the issues we all face in our increasingly turbulent society.
