The legacy left by Jeff Lynne & The Electric Light Orchestra barely needs any introduction – suffice to say that between 1972 and 1986 they achieved more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band on the planet! ‘10538 Overture’, ‘Evil Woman’, ‘Living Thing’, ‘Diary of Horace Wimp’, Don’t Bring me Down’ and of course ‘Mr Blue Sky’ went on to become the soundtrack of our lives.
In 2025 Jeff Lynne’s ELO performed the last ever live shows with the ‘Over & Out Tour’. The ELO Experience tour will include the greatest hits from an extensive and impressive back catalogue spanning over 50 years.
Back in June, Kraftwerk wowed UK audiences with a one-off performance at the Forever Now Festival in Milton Keynes, their headline slot illuminating the post punk bill to such an extent that The Times commented “Even now, almost 60 years into their career, Kraftwerk are still waiting for the world to catch up with them. Not so much post-punk as post-everything, their techno-utopian machine symphonies will forever sound like the future.”
Now Kraftwerk and the much-celebrated robots return to the UK bringing with them their constantly upgraded Multimedia Tour which began back in 2012 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Part performance, part digital installation, the Kraftwerk live show is an unmissable audio and technological spectacle.

We’re thrilled to have Martha play at Future Yard, heres a little message from the band on what the night will entail:
“This September we (the band called Martha) will be doing a handful of shows to mark ten years since ‘Blisters in the Pit of my Heart’ came out. We’ll be performing the album in full each night, plus a load of other songs too. The tour will take us to a couple of places we’ve never played before (Birkenhead and Hebden Bridge), a couple of places we haven’t played in ages (Edinburgh and Cardiff), and we’ll also be playing at the Scala in London for the first time in nearly a decade. If you can make it out to one of these gigs please do.
Please also tell your friends about it. Especially the ones who used to be cool but don’t come to gigs anymore. We’ve got some really great bands opening for us too! The beautiful poster was designed by Soph McKenzie. Tickets on sale 10am 9th April. Okay that’s all! Thanks!”
