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.

Music. Wrestling. Fun. Games.
The chaos returns in 2026…
James Yorkston returns to Future Yard!
Back for a special solo show on Monday 8th December, the haunting Scottish folkster supports the release of his sixteenth album Songs for Nina and Johanna (out now via Domino Records), recorded in Stockholm once again with the Second Hand Orchestra – with Nina Persson and Johanna Söderberg sharing vocals duties.
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.

Mad Professor comes to Birkenhead!
A disciple of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’, Mad Professor stands as one of the leading producers in dub reggae’s second generation.
One of the most respected figures in the genre’s transition into the digital age, Mad Professor soon found himself in demand as a remixer for rock, R&B, and electronica acts. Over the course of the ’90s and into the new millennium, he would remix tracks by Sade, The Orb, The KLF, The Beastie Boys, and Depeche Mode, among others. His best-known project, however — and the one that truly established his credentials — was 1995’s No Protection, a completely reimagined version of trip-hop collective Massive Attack’s second album, Protection.
Support comes from The Oliphant Man B2B Sista Irie.
