False Heads

False Heads take the Future Yard stage on 5th April as part of their nationwide tour. Think QOTSA and The Pixies with some Ramones thrown in for good measure and you might land on the the east London-based three-piece.

They released their sonically huge debut LP It’s All There But You’re Dreaming last year, a real culmination of over 4 years of hard work from the post-punk trio, the 12 tracks delving deep into the world of gnarly, outspoken, real-talk, riff-heavy rock music delivered with maximum authenticity and passion.

Starcoast with Lunar Vertigo + Thunder...

Liverpool! Come out for a night of psychedelic rock n roll.

This is the ninth night of Starcoasts U.K. and Ireland Tour, their showcasing of all the newest sounds from them, the ‘We Three’ EP and more fresh ones too! Joined by Liverpool’s Lunar Vertigo and Thunder and the Giants at District, this one will be a smash!

A late-night meteor shower on the beach of their hometown brought Starcoast together. The sounds drove brothers Tom and Jim to blend with their third and drummer, David. From touring in an RV across the Mojave Desert in 50 degrees Celsius, rain and wind-soaked bear attacks, to living together in a brand-new city during this pandemic Starcoast isn’t just a band, they are a family.

The Oracle — Birkenhead

MUSIC MAKES TIME-TRAVELLERS OF US ALL.

It connects us to the past, to the land, to ancestors and to forgotten songs. Long before we ever knew we were listening, our mothers, fathers, carers comforted us through song. In the beginning, music is family.

South African cellist and composer Abel Selaocoe is a sensation. His work has a way of cutting through what we think and tapping directly into how we feel. Backed by the beat of African percussion, in this brand-new show Abel is joined by Manchester Collective to present a musical journey that spans continents and generations, past and future.

Featuring stories and original compositions by Abel, alongside masterpieces by Jean-Philippe RameauIgor Stravinsky and Mica Levi, The Oracle is ultimately a show about connection. It’s music at its most joyful and life-affirming.

Mosh Tots

Mosh Tots is Future Yard’s brand new series of gigs for kids (and well behaved parents!), here to introduce kids to the rockin’ world of live music in a safe and fun environment.

Future Yard believe that live music should be for everyone, no matter your age. For too long live music venues have been off limits for young children (not to mention their parents); Mosh Tots is going to flip that on its head and is an opportunity to share the joy of live music together as a family.

Each week at Mosh Tots they focus on a different theme or musical idea. That may be melody, rhythm, dynamics or harmony. It could be an exploration of the drums, bass, guitar effects or special instruments. They even have plans for super special guests! They’ll be learning and experiencing something new every week, so no two Mosh Tots performances are exactly the same.

Future Yard invite you to come join the super-shredding Mosh Tots House Band LIVE for a fun-filled party on a Sunday morning. Expect a heady mix of pop bangers, Disney classics and rock anthems. Think Princess Polly meets Daft Punk with a rock ‘n’ roll dollop of Meghan Trainor’s bass thrown in for good measure!

Expect hands in the air singalongs and full-on rock-outs. Pogo-ing with glowsticks and in ear defenders has never been this much fun! With an interstellar light show to boot, Mosh Tots will have the production well and truly turned up to 11 (though they’ll keep the volume down of course; you’ve got to be kind on those young ears).

Mosh Tots is a high octane live show, here to kick start a love of live music that will last a lifetime.
