Future Yard is excited to welcome everyone to the first Bido Lito! Social in almost two years, with electro pop darlings Monks headlining. Monks perform off the back of the release of their 2021 single 100 percent, which offers listeners a psychedelic ride with its mix of lo-fi production and funky bassline.

Monks are a mix of 70’s, 80’s electro pop along with elements of disco, rock and psychedelia. Originally from Liverpool, Monks are George Pomford, Nathan Johnson, Kali Diston-Jones, Joe Fay and Liam Daly. Forming at 17, the group has released multiple singles since 2018 and toured the UK, gaining a loyal fanbase along the way. Racking up over a million streams on Spotify with previous releases such as Dreamboat and Sundried, the band have also received support from Huw Stephens on BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6.

Support on the evening comes from exciting Wirral shoegaze rising stars A Lesser Version with another artist to be announced.

The return of Futurama Festival – A Utopian Festival For Dystopian Times

The legendary 2-day post-punk festival returns to Liverpool, April 16 – 17 2022.

Futurama Festival is much more than music, bands, food & drink. Its a 2 day celebration of the original, independent ethos & inventiveness of post punk music past, present & future.

The original Futurama Festivals were born out of difficult economic times and political unrest in the late 1970’s & early 80’s not too dissimilar to what’s happening in the world today.

As a reaction to those dark times, the 80’s sparked an amazing period of creativity in Britain & Ireland with new experimental sounds, iconic graphic design, legendary record labels, unforgettable fanzines, innovative photography, cult fashion, alternative styles….. and of course, insane haircuts!

The original festival caught the zeitgeist perfectly but that was then & this is now. Can we spark another revolution in subculture? Let’s hope so! Welcome to Futurama Festival 2021!

Peter Hook & The Light are confirmed to perform Joy Division’s set from Futurama 1979 and The AF Gang will host The All Is Love/Goth Kitchen Up & Coming Stage .

Confirmed acts so far include :
