Bonnacons of Doom return to Future Yard on Tuesday 3rd June.

Over two genre defying albums on Rocket Recordings Bonnacons of Doom have been honing their ‘Trans-pennine Hypnotic Music’ into a distinct sonic signature. Mind-bending drone, gut wrenching riffs and the searing vocals of Kate Smith collide for a ritualistic, transcendent experience.

The band’s live show combines mirrored masks, amp worship, folk weirdness and electronics to create a communion that is simultaneously ancient and modern. Over the past decade the band have gone from one-off art experiments to wowing audiences at festivals such as Desertfest and Sonic Whip, playing gigs across Europe to touring with Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs.

A pioneer of the birth of dance music in the UK, Hacienda regular and ‘electro-funk’ innovator, New Brighton’s own Greg Wilson takes over the Future Yard Garden during Spring Bank Holiday weekend, headlining an extended outdoor party in Birkenhead on Sunday 25th May.

Special guests Derek Kaye + Jill Thompson join Greg on the day.
