In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and in consideration of the health of our audiences, staff, and artists, BAM, Manchester International Festival (MIF), the creative team, and Riz Ahmed have together made the decision to cancel upcoming performances of The Long Goodbye.

All ticket holders will receive a refund via the original method of payment; no further action is needed.

A bracing and emotional live music show, The Long Goodbye is an electrifying journey into our here and now—a close-up look at the breakup of a toxic relationship with the country you call home. Riz Ahmed is a music artist, storyteller, actor and activist. He is the first South Asian actor to win an acting Emmy for his lead role in HBO’s The Night Of and also starred in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Venom, Four Lions, and Nightcrawler.
