The Howlers

Following the independent success of their debut album in 2024 which saw the band claim a Top 15 Official Chart Position and a subsequent sold out 17 date UK Tour, The Howlers return on the eve of their debut European tour with bold new single ‘Night Crawling’ and the announcement of a show with us at Future Yard on Sunday 15th February.

The London desert rockers have never strayed from their open and honest approach to musicianship, quickly identifying themselves as one of the UK’s must-see acts, The Bands Debut Album ‘What you’ve got to lose to win it all’ received much deserved praise from the likes of Rolling Stone Magazine and Classic Rock.

Sarathy Korwar

Milap brings bold new sound world of Indian percussionist, composer and producer Sarathy Korwar to Future Yard on Saturday 28th March.

In this live performance, Sarathy presents music from his upcoming album There Is Beauty, There Already – a striking, percussion-led exploration of rhythm, voice and electronics. Blending hypnotic, trance-like drum patterns with South Asian temple procession rituals, jazz percussion, and contemporary minimalism, this is futuristic folk at its most immersive.

A standout voice in the UK jazz scene, Korwar is known for fusing jazz, electronics, and Indian influences with themes of decoloniality, community and transcendence. His music has earned critical acclaim worldwide, with collaborations ranging from Anoushka Shankar to Shabaka Hutchings and praise from The Guardian, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone.

LOVE WITH JOHNNY ECHOLS

After a storming three-night residency with us back in 2022, LOVE with original guitarist Johnny Echols, will be making their long awaited return to Future Yard on Wednesday 22nd April 2026, performing the classic songs from Love’s first three albums Love, Da Capo, Four Sail and of course the timeless Forever Changes. 2026 also marks the 60th anniversary and celebration of their debut album and the release of its follow-up Da Capo, but this isn’t just a nostalgia trip – their shows are drawing in an increasingly younger audience as teens and students are discovering the timeless music produced by these 60s legends performed by a band that is truly on top of its game.

Joining Johnny Echols on stage is Baby Lemonade who from 1993 until Arthur Lee’s death in 2006 performed as his band and became an essential part of the renaissance of LOVE’s music. This iteration of LOVE saw many sold-out shows and tours (including right here!), as well as back-to-back Glastonbury performances and an appearance on Later with Jools Holland.

Bob Marley Reimagined by The London African Gospel Choir

Gospel power meets reggae spirit in a unique, soul-stirring live experience.

Following their sold-out success with Paul Simon’s Graceland, the London African Gospel Choir now bring a fresh and exhilarating take on the music of Bob Marley – and it’s coming to Liverpool Philharmonic for one unmissable night.

More than just a tribute, this show is a powerful reinterpretation of Marley’s most iconic songs – driven by the soulful intensity of gospel vocals and the vibrant energy of the Choir’s outstanding live band. This isn’t Bob Marley as you’ve heard him before. This is Marley elevated, reimagined, and reborn – through the spiritual fire and rhythmic heartbeat of African gospel music.

Craven Faults

Print Page print this page share this event

Half-remembered journeys across post-industrial Yorkshire. On first impression it appears to be a journey through a uniform landscape, past familiar mills, peaks and dales. Until you start to notice the details. The devil’s in the details. It occupies your peripheral vision. It leaves you questioning how you arrived where you did. How did we get here?

Craven Faults is a British electronic artist and producer known for combining analogue synthesizers, electronics and field recordings to create music that draws from ambient music, Krautrock and electronica. The name is taken from the Craven Fault System in the Pennines and much of his music draws inspiration from the landscapes of Yorkshire, where he resides.

Mosh Tots Christmas Special

The Mosh Tots Band headline the hippest show in town on Sunday 30th November!

Aimed at children aged 0-8, Mosh Tots is here to introduce young people to the rockin’ world of live music in a safe and fun environment. We 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 and their parents. Mosh Tots flips that on its head and is an opportunity to share the joy of live music together as a family.

Tickets are on sale now at £14 for kids aged 1-8, and £7 for Mini Moshers aged under 1 – or bring an under 1 for a discounted price when they come with a child aged 1-8.

For every child ticket purchased, 1 adult goes free. Tickets are needed for any additional adults attending, priced at £3.50. This is so that we can manage event capacity and ensure that the experience in the room is the best possible one for all Tots and Moshers! 

Scousevision: The Soundtrack to Our Future

From Tik Tok stars to primary school children: line up revealed for extravaganza to showcase Liverpool City Region’s musical talent.

More than 200 young people ranging from viral Tik Tokers to primary school children will take to the ACC Liverpool stage at a special event to showcase the city region’s future music stars.

Scousevision will makes its debut on December 5 at the venue that hosted Eurovision 2023 and will feature 12 acts chosen by the Sound! Music Hub Youth Board from across the Liverpool City Region and Warrington.

All the performers are aged between 7 and 21 years and include Positive Impact, from Liverpool, who recently gained 1.8 million views on Tik Tok with their performance of ‘Alexander Hamilton’.

Other acts include 14-year-old independent artist Macie Murray from Sefton and the Pagoda Arts Chinese Youth Orchestra with their rendition of ‘Take Five’.

The line up reflects the diversity, creativity, and ambition of young people across the region.

Councillor Mike Wharton, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Business, Investment and Trade says:

“Scousevision is creating an opportunity not often available for young performers – the chance to showcase their talent on a big stage like the one at ACC Liverpool in front of an audience of thousands. It’s not common for young performers to be able to share their sound, their talent and to join with other performers on such a large scale.

“That’s why I feel this event, and the work of our new Sound! Music Hub, is critical in our role as the UK’s culture capital. By sparking new connections and inspiring future collaborations here and now, we are opening doors for the next generation of music makers to come out of our city region – an area already renowned the world over for our creative talent.”

The Sound! Music Hub is one of 43 in the UK providing music education and opportunities to children and young people, creating pathways into a music career. Funded by the Department for Education (DfE) through Arts Council England, Sound! is led by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority as the Hub Lead Organisation (HLO).

Serving Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Warrington, the Hub brings together a variety of organisations ensuring everyone has the chance to be involved in music, from traditional lessons to DJing and digital music initiatives.

Sophie Hirst, who is a member of the Sound! Music Hub Youth Board said:

“This is the first event of its kind that we, as the Youth Board of the Sound! Music Hub, have organised, and I am delighted to have been involved so far. All of the acts are absolutely amazing, and we’ve been spoilt with the amount of talent!

There is such a diverse range of acts, and I hope people will come along and enjoy an exciting night of music and performance. We would like as many people as possible to support all of the young people who will be working so hard to make the night a success.”

The 12 acts performing at Scousevision are:

  • Positive Impact
  • Belle Vale Primary School (Liverpool)
  • Lucy Hogg (Solo artist, 15, Sefton)
  • The Q’Nards
  • Pagoda
  • Macie Murray (Solo artist, 14, Sefton)

  • St Margaret’s C of E Primary (Warrington)
