Pygmy Twylyte return to Birkenhead!

After a storming show with us in February 2025, Pygmy Twylyte return once again to show us why they’re the ultimate Zappa Tribute band.

Navigating the vast Zappa oeuvre then is no mean feat, but Scotland’s Pygmy Twylyte have embraced the challenge with gusto. Since their inception in 2018, the band have selected a core body of classic material, complemented with a rotating offering of more obscure cuts, and blasted this to delighted audiences across the UK.

TOUCAN is the funk, pop and soul project of Irish songwriter Conor Clancy, emerging as one of the most exciting new voices to break out of Ireland. With brass-driven grooves, velvet-rich vocals and songs that bridge Motown soul and modern pop, he’s the kind of artist built for festival stages and sold-out venues.

Since his breakout single We Fell For Miles, TOUCAN has sold out headline shows in Dublin, London, Bristol, Cork and beyond, and clocked over 5 million streams to date. UK crowds have already felt his live spark through high-energy sets at Love Supreme, Meltdown, and Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul. He’s supported icons including Nile Rodgers & CHIC, James Blunt and Durand Jones & The Indications, as well as The Average White Band at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Most recently, he joined Daði Freyr on his European tour.

Now, with brand-new music on the horizon, TOUCAN is announcing tour dates across the UK and Ireland. Expect sweaty dancing, singalongs, and a sound as timeless as it is fresh.

We are thrilled to host Omar Perry + ERM at Future Yard on Friday 13th February 2026. The son of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and his former band team up on ‘Channelling Lee Scratch Perry’, their new album paying homage to the godfather of Reggae Dub himself. It’s a sonic tribute to LSP where Omar is able to keeps his identity as a solo artist, whilst still exploring the mind and soul barrier to re-create the embodiment of his father.

Manchester Collective Presents Sky with the Four Suns live at Future Yard on Saturday 7th February 2026.

Enter a realm flooded with light and sound.

The Alaskan wilderness and the Arctic sky is where night and day steadily unfold with a special kind of magic. These horizons stretch far and wide across the nature-infused music of John Luther Adams. His ‘Canticles of the Sky’ for string quartet is stark, bright and expansive. It takes inspiration from sunbeams that hit ice crystals and refract, forming vivid halos and sundogs. To hear it live is to feel the steady, creeping warmth of a frosty day…

On our way to these distant soundscapes, we bask in the radiant purity of Arvo Pärt’s ‘Summa’ and briefly leave Earth behind for alien terrains. Experimental British musician and composer Mica Levi is best known for their scores for films like Under the Skin and The Zone of Interest.

In a new commission for the Collective, Jasmine Morris manipulates time with her slow-crawling textures and otherworldly sounds.

Join us and ascend to the highest heights.

Rooted in the mud, hills and folklore of the North, Smote is the atmospheric, heavy-leaning project of landscape gardener Daniel Foggin. Drawing on drone, psych, folk tradition and the raw power of electronics, the music feels both ancient and sharply present.

We are excited to welcome Smote on their spring tour, off the back of their latest album release,  Songs From The Free House on Rocket Recordings.

Smote’s live shows have built a quiet but loyal reputation for their slow-building intensity: ritualistic, hypnotic and deeply grounded. Expect repetition that pulls you under, waves of amplification, and atmospheric intensity.
