CONTENT is incredibly proud to announce its first live show, bringing New Zealand psychedelic rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra to Liverpool on Tuesday 20th June 2023. With their brand-new album V dropping in March, the band are famed for their eclectic style harnessing elements of indie, psychedelic and garage rock.
The brand new album V is led by Hawaiian-New Zealand musician Ruban Nielson. It evokes blue skies, beachside cocktail bars, hotel pools and the darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces.
The desert resort city’s palm tree-lined streets reminded Ruban of a childhood spent playing by hotel swimming pools with his siblings while their entertainer parents performed in showbands across the Pacific and East Asia, and he became aware of the glamorized hedonism he’d internalized since childhood and the darker side of his parents’ lifestyle when they were working as entertainers.

OperaUpClose bring the maritime opera to Liverpool’s Invisible Wind Factory this summer.
The award-winning OperaUpClose in partnership with recent RPS Award winning Manchester Camerata, reinvigorate Wagner’s classic with an English libretto by poet and novelist Glyn Maxwell and an 8-piece chamber orchestration by Laura Bowler.
The Flying Dutchman is a haunting political tale exploring the displacement of people and the psychology and realities of living on an island with hardening borders, bringing an urgent and contemporary relevance to the fable of the ships captain cursed to roam the sea forever. The summer tour finishes at Invisible Wind Factory, Liverpool, on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd July.
The production steers from traditional ‘end-on’ performance, breaking the fourth wall and immersing the audience directly in the world of the story. It dismantles the traditional barriers between pit, stage and orchestra with all performers, instrumentalists and singers, having equal agency as storytellers. It includes pre-recorded voices from a national network of community choirs, a virtuosic chamber orchestra and a principal cast of internationally-renowned opera singers.
Future Yard are thrilled to be working with DHP to bring the artful punk of High Vis to their stage in October.
High Vis play aggressive, gripping, artful punk that’s as hard as any hardcore record yet sonically opens beyond the parameters of any genre or scene.
Breaking from the same London underground that spawned Chubby And The Gang, Higher Power and The Chisel, the band have quickly grown a devoted following for their intense live shows, immediate lyrics that tackle themes from class politics to the challenges of everyday life, and an unparalleled 2019 debut album, No Sense No Feeling. They followed that up in September 20222 with the superlative Blending.
The joint choirs of Liverpool Cathedral & Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral join together in a festive programme of ‘Music for a King’ in this coronation year.

Held: Saturday 8 July, 19.30. www.ticketsource.co.uk/metcathedral
