Tricky live in Saffron Walden

Experience Tricky live on August 9th

Tricky will perform at Audley End Estate in Saffron Walden, United Kingdom on August 9th, 2026. Tricky, born Adrian Thaws, is a British musician and producer credited as a pioneer of trip-hop music. His style blends elements of hip-hop, dub, electronica, and experimental rock, often characterized by dark, atmospheric soundscapes, layered textures, and distinctive vocal delivery – frequently whispered or fragmented. He rose to prominence in the early 1990s with the album *Maxinquaye* (1995), which remains highly influential. Throughout his career he has continually evolved his sound while retaining a core aesthetic of introspective and often melancholic moodiness.

Audley End Estate is a Jacobean country house owned by English Heritage. Originally a Benedictine monastery founded in the 12th century, it was converted into a stately home following Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. The house underwent significant rebuilding in the early 17th century by Sir Thomas Howard, the Earl of Suffolk, resulting in its current grand architectural form.
