We are thrilled to present Glasgow psych-rock band Helicon at Future Yard on Thursday 25th September.
Helicon blend neo-psych-rock with sitars, electronica, ambient soundscapes and irresistible grooves to take psychedelic music into fresh, new territory. They channel their love for 60s counter-culture and eclectic, global music influences to create a modern and distinctive sound.
Over the last few years, the band have been featured on BBC Radio 6 Music and previously collaborated on recordings with Tony Doogan (Mogwai), Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spiritualized, Dead Skeletons), Mark Gardener (Ride) and LA-based DJ/producer Al Lover.
Support comes from Kavus Torabi – formerly of Cardiacs, now of Gong – we’re thrilled to welcome such a trailblazer in psychedelic, avant-garde rock.

American shoegaze-soul legends The Veldt and rising force Tremours are co-headlining Future Yard on Tuesday 10th June, bringing a night of ethereal, heady, and noisy soundscapes.
Emerging from North Carolina in the 1980s, The Veldt blends ethereal atmospheres, sultry melodies, and rhythmic grooves. Influenced by Marvin Gaye, Sun Ra, and Pharaoh Sanders, as well as their roots in gospel, Motown, and psychedelic rock, they created a unique sound that set them apart during the first wave of shoegaze bands.
Tremours, a Los Angeles duo formed in 2021 by Lauren Andino and Glenn Fryatt, blends Andino’s hazy guitars with Fryatt’s urgent drums, drawing influences from shoegaze, jazz, and electronica. Andino (LSD And The Search For God, L.A. Witch) and Fryatt (Cherubs, Ten Benson) explore themes of loneliness, finding comfort within solitude.
RUINS support.
