The Tiger Lillies are one of the foremost avant-garde bands in the world. Double Olivier award winners, their shows are dark, peculiar and varied, with moments of black humour and immense beauty.

This unique, Brechtian Street opera trio tour the world playing concerts and theatre shows such as The Tiger Lillies Christmas Carol, The Ancient Mariner and the West End hit Shockheaded Peter.

The music is an electrifying mix of genres, seamlessly blending electronic beats with rock, funk, and pop elements.

The setlist is unpredictable, filled with both original tracks and surprising covers, each performed with a unique twist. The crowd is diverse and energetic, dancing along to the infectious rhythms.

At certain points during the show, Dr. Orange engages directly with the audience, encouraging sing-alongs or initiating call-and-response chants.

Scruff of the Neck presents Tom Vek at Future Yard on Saturday 5th October.

A long-time staple of the British alternative scene, the self-professed ‘cryptic funk-rock’ multi-instrumentalist returns in 2024 with brand-new EP ‘Confirm Yourself’.

Funk and soul party starters The Allergies return to Future Yard on Thursday 12th September for a hell of a good time.

The duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat have been delighting dance floors and lighting up radio airwaves since forming The Allergies and releasing their debut album in 2016. Their brand of feel-good funk and hyped-up hip-hop has seen them clock up A List status and numerous ‘Album of The Day’ gongs at BBC 6 Music, and soundtrack a whole host of international ad campaigns.

Year in, year out they’ve sharpened their skills in the studio, dropping one dynamite LP after another.

Future Yard host the return of folk troubadour Charlie Parr on Sunday 15th September.

The bluesman poet comes to Birkenhead once again with a 19-album-strong back catalogue that pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past.

Seafoam Green + Mike West support.

Booking fees apply. This event is part of Folk On The Coast festival and is included in the weekend pass.

Future Yard are delighted to be welcoming the legendary Euros Childs to Birkenhead, in association with promoters Seabird Prensents.

Euros Childs has been making music for over 30 years, as a solo artist and as the frontman of Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci. He’s released 19 solo albums to date, most of which have appeared on his own National Elf label. Since 2019 Euros has also been playing keyboards and lending his voice to Teenage Fanclub, appearing on their last two albums.

This tour will mark Euros’s return to the stage with a band for the first time in seven years. He’ll be joined by long term collaborators Stephen Black (aka Sweet Baboo) Stuart Kidd (Kidd, The Wellgreen) and Selma French (Morgonrode, Frøkedal).

Expect a show full of life, zest and humour that draws on Euros’s extensive back catalogue as well as songs from his forthcoming album Beehive Beach, due in October. With support on the night from captivating Norwegian artist Selma French.
