Future Now returns home for 2025 with three separate shows at Future Yard across Friday 22nd – Sunday 24th August, once again bringing the future of music to the Left Bank on August Bank Holiday.
PUSSY RIOT: RIOT DAYS headline the outdoor FY Garden stage on Sunday 24th August, the art punk protest collective, made up of Masha Alyokhina, Olga Borisova, Diana Burkot and Lucy Shtein close our August Bank Holiday collection of shows with a live show and performance art piece. CLT DRP, Alien Chicks and Jodie Langford all perform in Birkenhead (more acts still to come!) for a day of punk resistance.
Riot Days is a multimedia performance featuring Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina and is based on her memoir of the same name. The project blends live music, spoken word, video, and performance art to tell the story of the group’s activism and her experience in a Russian prison following their infamous 2012 protest. After touring internationally Riot Days is back with a new show in 2025 including topics such as the oppression and violence against the LGBTQ+ community, the story of Alexey Navalny and Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Individual day tickets available now. A limited number of reduced price ticket bundles for Sunday and Friday’s Future Now Opening Night are also available.

Los Bitchos headline the outdoor FY Garden Stage on Saturday 23rd August, a pan-global instrumental collective tripping out on Tequila and sun-kissed Cumbia vibes, and also curate the day’s line-up, featuring Lime Garden, Mandrake Handshake + Yumi and the Weather (more still tba!), for a day of blissed-out indie, pysch and alt-pop under the blazing Birko sun.
Made up of lead guitarist Serra, who carries both Australian and Turkish heritage, Uruguayan synth and keytar player Agustina Ruiz, Swedish bassist Josefine Jonsson and British drummer Nic Crawshaw, Los Bitchos are united by a commitment to having fun. It’s a contagious energy they’ve had no problem transmitting to the world since the band officially arrived in 2019.
Individual day tickets available now. A limited number of reduced price ticket bundles for Saturday and Friday’s Future Now Opening Night are also available.
Liverpool Bach Collective was formed in 2013, with the aim of putting on performances of J S Bach’s cantatas in churches in and around Liverpool every month as part of Sunday Evensong or Vespers. The cantatas chosen are based on, or are at least relevant to, the readings of the day in the churches visited.
The Collective usually consists of eight singers and an ensemble of around ten players, generally strings, oboes, bassoon and organ; the ensemble is enlarged when the music demands it. The performers are a mix of professional, semi-professional and amateur musicians, all of whom have a love for the music of Bach and are united in their passion and their commitment in performing these wonderful works.
As the Collective’s season began, so it ends, with a cantata of general praise as the Collective’s contribution to this year’s Prescot Festival. In this festive work, to the usual instrumental ensemble, four vocal soloists and chorus, are added three trumpets and timpani.
By the end of the current season, the Collective will have given eighty-one cantata performances, involving sixty-six different cantatas in forty-three churches, from Hightown to Rainhill and Ince Blundell to Birkenhead. The ensemble continues to enlarge its following of interested listeners.

YAWN DYLYFU FEST | Yawn returns to the FY Garden once again on Sat 9th August with a suitably Welsh flair to proceedings as Gruff Rhys takes the reins from BRJ to headline the third edition of the all-day celebration.
Headlining the first ever summer festival at Future Yard in 2021 and coming off the back of a nationwide co-headline tour with Bill Ryder-Jones last year, Gruff Rhys is a name that will need no introduction to any Yawn fans new and old, and the tenured psych-rock explorer is all set to top a bill solidifying the long-standing sonic relations between the Wirral and Wales.
