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!”

Fragile was the fourth album by YES, cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971, achieving Platinum status along the way, and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The single ‘Roundabout’ was a Top 20 hit in the States with the album breaking into the Top 5 on the Billboard chart, and receiving a Double Platinum certification in the process.
The current line-up of YES features Steve Howe, whose association with Yes began in 1970, along with Geoff Downes, a member of the 1980 Drama era line-up. Jon Davison has been lead vocalist in Yes since 2012 while bassist, Billy Sherwood, who was hand-picked by original bassist Chris Squire, has been involved with YES since 1990s.

The Blue boys are back in town! Simon Webbe, Duncan James, Antony Costa and Lee Ryan are ready to make new memories with the news that they will release their all-new studio album Reflections in January 2026 – the first taste of which comes with today’s lead single ‘One Last Time’.
Blue are firmly established as one of Britain’s biggest pop forces of the 21st century.

Jethro Tull – one of the most unique and groundbreaking progressive rock bands of all time – will be performing music from much of their 24 album catalogue starting with 1968’s This Was through to their acclaimed Curious Ruminant released earlier this year.
As formidable as they are iconic, it would be easy to say that Jethro Tull are merely still enjoying the fruits of their early labour as they announce a tour in what will be their 58th year but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Curious Ruminant was released in March 2025 and this was preceded by the release of 2022’s The Zealot Gene and 2023’s RökFlöte. Add to that over 50 shows a year all over the world, including The Seven Decades Tour in 2024 and it becomes clear that Ian Anderson remains as committed to the creativity of Jethro Tull as he has ever been.
On this tour, Ian will be accompanied by long-standing Tull band musicians David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Scott Hammond (drums) and new boy Jack Clark (guitar). The show will be enhanced by full-scale video throughout.
