Everything Yes

Everything Yes is a North Carolina based jazz-fusion group that grew out of the creative chemistry between friends who first connected in university. What started as late-night jams and throwing wild ideas at each other quickly became a band defined by one simple rule: say “yes.” Every idea, every experiment, every spark of inspiration — if someone brought something to the table, the answer was yes. That spirit eventually became the band’s name.

Spearheaded by drummer / YouTuber, Zack Grooves, who has over 440k subscribers, the band features Cole Sipe on bass, Reggie McNeill on keys, Sean Reeser on tenor sax, and Nathan Graybeal on alto sax. Everything Yes is powered by genuine friendship. Their music blends jazz, funk, gospel, progressive rock, and improvisation into a sound that’s energetic, playful, and always evolving. Their live shows feel like a reunion of friends who trust each other enough to take risks and have fun doing it.

They’ll be offering a UK-exclusive masterclass before the gig for budding musicians who want to learn more about Everything Yes!

GNOD

Since their inception, Gnod’s musical trajectory has been one of constant fluctuation borne out of an incessant need to discover new sonic worlds. Beginning life as a shamanic drone ensemble, at times fitting up to 15 members on stage, these early rituals informed the core ideals that have come to define the group in their years of activity; community and trance-inducing repetition.

Throughout a discography that has amassed dozens of CD-R’s, cassettes and vinyls for labels like Rocket Recordings, Trensmat, Krokodilo (Blackest Ever Black) and their own Tesla Tapes imprint, a restless yet organic need mutate their music into new realms has had critics clawing for comparative touch stones. Acts as far ranging as Hawkwind, Popul Vuh, Pan Sonic, Sunburned Hand of the Man and Pharaoh Sanders have all been referenced in attempt to pinpoint their output, one that has historically never aped any genre but with each record furthered their own unique place in truly independent music. It is the exact same dedication to the live arena that has seen Gnod become one of the most celebrated live bands in the UK and secured them multiple tours and festival appearances throughout Europe.

Gnod have taken their very namesake and charged it with bludgeoning new edge that is as euphoric as it is nihilistic. It is one that stridently attests to the group’s spiritual center, one of community that is inclusive and respectful of its audience yet will never placate to their expectations. Instead, Gnod offer a gateway to an aural black hole and along with firm guiding hand, the opportunity to dive head and body first into a powerfully new psychedelic maelstrom full of possibilities

Knats

Knats are a hard-hitting trio from Newcastle upon Tyne, channelling rock grit, fusion fire and floor-filling grooves into a bold new sound they call “Geordie Jazz”.

The band was formed by two lifelong best friends from Newcastle’s West End – bassist Stan Woodward and drummer King David Ike-Elechi – and completed by trumpet phenom Ferg Kilsby. Described by Jazzwise as “one of the most exciting new bands in the UK”, in the words of The Guardian they “gleefully rewire jazz with a hard-as-nails rhythm section, drum’n’bass energy and punk aggression.”

After moving to London in 2022 to hone their jazz chops at Trinity Laban conservatoire, Knats quickly built a reputation for their explosive live shows, selling out headline gigs at Jazz Refreshed and Rough Trade East, supporting Str4ta at a packed Jazz Cafe and Theon Cross at the BBC Proms. In March 2025 they released their self-titled debut album on Gearbox Records, reflecting their diverse influences – from jazz fusion to UK club beats. With its strong melodies, virtuosic solos and infectious grooves, the album won widespread acclaim and earned them a nomination for ‘Jazz Newcomer of the Year’ at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.

Knats went on to back Eddie Chacon and tour with Geordie Greep, before signing to Fontana Records and releasing their second album, A Great Day In Newcastle, in May 2026. Produced by Greep, the album showcases a heavier side to the band’s sound, drawing on their roots playing rock and metal. Featuring an array of collaborators and powerful storytelling from Newcastle poet Cooper Robson, it’s an unflinching portrait of working-class life in their home city, full of humour, optimism and grit. They call it “Geordie Noir”.

AnotherVU: A Tribute to The Velvet Underground + Nico

 

AnotherVU bring their incredible multimedia tribute to The Velvet Underground + Nico – and their iconic shows with Andy Warhol – to Future Yard on Saturday 28th November 2026.

This project had long been an ambition for all of the band’s members, but when multi-instrumentalist Cam Forrester began producing Velvets–related content on YouTube in 2021 and subsequently built a strong following, real demand for a live show was evident, given the scarcity of footage of the original band.

After posting an online ad in 2022, multi-instrumentalist Kyle Hill joined on bass; guitarist Bobby Tamarali followed in December 2024, and drummer Ella Wallace-Manning in February 2025, completing the core lineup.

“We’re working on both accurately reproducing the Velvets’ seminal music, and recreating the groundbreaking multimedia shows they performed during their collaboration with Andy Warhol during 1966-1967.

Throughout 2025 we’ve self-funded rehearsals, investing in vintage instruments, amps and lighting equipment, and even hand-building discontinued items in order to faithfully recreate these culturally significant events for a modern audience – especially those who never experienced this pioneering moment in art and music history firsthand. Since rock and roll no longer dominates the cultural landscape as it did in the 1960s, we invite people of all ages and backgrounds – musicians, students, creatives, long-time fans and curious newcomers alike – to rediscover the excitement of an almost entirely analogue multimedia event.

Inspired by Andy Warhol’s multimedia vision and original EPI lighting designer Danny Williams’ electrical innovations – which were influential to the development of psychedelic light shows, and later disco, rave, and contemporary stage lighting – our light shows will consist of manually controlled strobes (operated in rhythm with the music), as well as coloured spot lamps, aimed at our custom-built reproduction of Warhol’s antique mirror ball, creating orbiting polka dot reflections all around.

Additionally, a liquid light show will produce psychedelic convection current visuals against the rear stage wall, alongside slide/moiré projections, and the sole digital element of the show, which is new Another VU film projections (replacing the original 16mm Warhol films of the Velvets).

The result will be a mesmerising explosion of electrifying sound and kaleidoscopic imagery – just like the original, and now legendary EPI.” – Cam Forrester
