The Dualers

13 Dec 2025 - 12 Dec 2026

A musical force of sheer ska and party spirit; The Dualers' rise to kings of good times and the live music circuit has been a remarkable feat.

The Southmartins

The Southmartins are a unique tribute to the songs and sound of The Beautiful South & Housemartins.

With a set of classic hits and other bits to draw upon such as Song For Whoever, Don't Marry Her, Perfect 10, Happy Hour and many more they are guaranteed to make you smile, dance and sing. Rather than merely trying to recreate or reproduce the original recordings, or even live performances of the original bands, The Southmartins have always put their own stamp on the material and have led the way in how they approach paying tribute to these classic songs. This is not simple mimicry. Having said that, lead singer Andy's voice is about as close to Paul Heaton as you could hope for without it being the man himself (who has said the band are "very good") and with a highly skilled, and lively band they inject a huge amount of energy and soul into their shows.

The K's

3 Jul 2026 - 8 Aug 2026

The K’s: Jamie Boyle (vocals/guitar); Ryan Breslin (guitar); Dexter Baker (bass); Jordan Holden (drums). These four young men are a word-of-mouth phenomenon that’s rapidly becoming too huge to ignore. On the surface, the appeal of The K’s seems simple: embodying the relatable frustrations of everyday Britain and its zero hours economy, yearning for a better life in escapist anthems like epic next single Landmines and breakthrough tune Glass Towns. But if creating timeless thrills really was so simple, other bands would rack up so many streams and routinely sell out tours, thanks to the frenzied fan community the band has nurtured. Their gigs are a guaranteed riot, but that shouldn’t overlook the sophistication that gives The K’s the immediately identifiable blueprint all special bands soon develop. Debut single Sarajevo is one of the few rock & roll songs to namecheck Austro-Hungary, notching up over 1.5 million streams in the process.

Cast

8 Dec 2025 - 12 Jun 2026

Originally formed in 1992 from the ashes of The La’s and Shack, Cast released four albums and had ten top 10 singles before disbanding in 2001. As one of the most traditional guitar bands to emerge during the Brit-pop era of the mid-'90s, Cast have carved out a sound that was heavily indebted to the British Invasion of the early '60s, yet it was infused with a mystical, pseudo-hippie lyrical sensibility, which lead singer John Power expanded upon in all of his interviews. What really made Cast into a success was Power's gift for simple, classic pop hooks, as demonstrated on the hit singles "Fine Time," "Alright," and "Walkaway." Cast became a very, very popular band within Britain following the success of Oasis and Blur. Labelled ‘The Who of the 90’s’, Noel Gallagher once described watching Cast play live as “a religious experience.”

NME2019 saw Bobby(vocals and production) and Bobb13(drums and spiritual guidance) generate significant hype with guest appearances on Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes Radio 1 session for Annie Mac, supporting Gallows at their triumphant comeback show at House of Vans and collaborating with Massive Attack alumni Tricky on his new album.

Stiff Little Fingers

10 Mar 2026 - 21 Mar 2026

Stiff Little Fingers were formed in 1977 in Belfast, Ireland. Along with the likes of the Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Undertones, Sham 69, Stranglers, et al – Stiff Little Fingers were at the forefront of the punk movement. They wrote initially about their own lives, growing up at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, in songs like “Suspect Device” and “Wasted Life”. In November of ’77, they released those two songs on their own Rigid Digits label, and sent a copy to BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, who started playing it every night. These were the first of what became SLF’s signature style: lyrics that meld the personal and political, music that combines the energy of punk with infectious hooks, and delivery that rings of honesty and commitment. In 1979 they became the first band ever to hit the UK top 20 album charts on an independent label with their debut Inflammable Material. The album chronicles the band’s anger and frustration at “the Troubles” in Northern Ireland, and calls on youth to create their own reality. Over the years, their live shows continued to be special events of energy and power. Their studio albums demonstrate their passion and anger, each in its own way. In ’94 they released the Get a Life LP. The album helped renew interest in SLF just as newer bands that sited them as a major influence, such as Bad Religion, Sugar, Rancid and Therapy?, were coming to prominence. After many studio albums and countless tours, Stiff Little Fingers find themselves more in demand than ever.

The past twelve months have been nothing short of extraordinary. Sigrid's debut EP Don't Kill My Vibe was hailed as one of the biggest breakouts of 2017, and was soon followed by the certified silver-selling Strangersand 2018's stripped back and vulnerable single, Raw. She has sold out shows across the world, performed at the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize concert as well as live on Later With Jools Holland, The Graham Norton Show and The Late Late Show with James Corden to huge acclaim, and won the much coveted BBC Sound of 2018 poll.

Geese

20 Mar 2026 - 1 Sept 2026

Geese is a band that begins and ends in Brooklyn, as a project between friends to build a home studio out of a basement. Their songs are born from the same ambition: make music by any means necessary. They began recording together with sneakers as mic stands and blankets draped over the amps, all within the afternoon following a school day, up until they ran the risk of noise complaints. As of their recent signing with Partisan Records, they are thinking about moving on from sneaker-laden mics and blanketed amps, but their musical ethos has not changed a bit. Curiously alien, yet strangely familiar, the band’s new material is a product of five teenagers whose love of music touches every part of their lives: their restless anxiety about their futures, and their pent-up frustration with their present-a perspective all too familiar in today’s uncertain world.

Glitterfest

13 Jun 2026 - 13 Jun 2026

Wednesday

24 Feb 2026 - 25 Feb 2026

A Wednesday song is a quilt. A short story collection, a half-memory, a patchwork of portraits of the American south, disparate moments that somehow make sense as a whole. Karly Hartzman, the songwriter/vocalist/guitarist at the helm of the project, is a story collector as much as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners. Rat Saw God, the Asheville quintet’s new and best record, is ekphrastic but autobiographical and above all, deeply empathetic. Across the album’s ten tracks Hartzman, guitarist MJ Lenderman, bassist Margo Shultz, drummer Alan Miller, and lap/pedal steel player Xandy Chelmis build a shrine to minutiae. Half-funny, half-tragic dispatches from North Carolina unfurling somewhere between the wailing skuzz of Nineties shoegaze and classic country twang, that distorted lap steel and Hartzman’s voice slicing through the din. This is a 14+ event. Under 16s accompanied by an adult .

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

9 Apr 2026 - 10 Apr 2026

Experiencing the visceral force of Godspeed You! Black Emperor live can change your beliefs about the power of music. Confrontational, fiercely political, they bathe their audiences in mesmerising, multi-layered symphonic waves, inducing ecstasy, terror and everything in between. The elusive Montreal band have a cult status, down to their legendary anonymity, radical political convictions and very rare live gigs. They notoriously refuse to play by music industry rules: ‘No singer no leader no interviews no press photos.’ They’re unflinching in their critique of a grim consumer society in terminal decline. But they convey their tough messages of defiance in hypnotic, sensuous music that strikes right at the heart of your emotions. They are embraced around the world as an example of the boundless potential of rock.

Billy Gillies

14 Mar 2026 - 25 Apr 2026

General Admission Standing Event. 18s and over Challenge 21 in place. Photo ID required. There's few names hotter on the scene right now than Belfast's very own Billy Gillies. Having released one of the biggest tunes of the last year in the shape of DNA (Loving You), his career is going from strength to strength of late, and hes cemented himself as a solid mainstay headline artist. Having travelled around the world over the past few years, hes now teaming up with Cream and Electronic Nation for a show at Liverpool's newly refurbished Grand Central. With a brand-new state-of-the-art sound-system, more bars, and an increased capacity, Grand Central is the perfect location for Billy Gillies sound, with the feel and vibe of an underground club, and the space and capacity for a headline artist. Taking place on Saturday 26th October, its the perfect way to move into the winter clubbing season, with a hot and sweaty club night soundtracked by the energy of Northern Ireland's finest. There's also a solid support line up still to be announced, so expect this to be one stacked lineup with tickets bound to sell out quickly.
