Bad Manners

8 Dec 2025 - 17 Sept 2026

Fronted by Buster Bloodvessel (born Douglas Trendle), the band was formed in 1976 while the members were at school together, and among their early incarnations were known as Stoop Solo and the Sheet Starchers. None of the members had any formal musical training, not even the ability to play any instruments. They were popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s, a period when lots of similar ska bands filled the charts. Some of their hits include 'My Girl Lollipop', 'Lip Up Fatty', 'Special Brew' and 'Ne-Ne-Na-Na-Na-Na-Nu-Nu'. One of the main reasons for their notoriety was because of their outlandish, larger-than-life, huge-tongued & shaven-headed front man. Buster´s exploits got them banned from the British TV chart show Top of the Pops (which included dressing as Henry VIII and singing to a blow-up doll for the song 'Lorraine', pouring a large can of baked beans over his head, and dressing in a can-can dancer´s dress to promote their single 'Can-Can').

Goldie Lookin' Chain

19 Dec 2025 - 13 Nov 2026

Coming straight out of Newport The GLC are officially Britain’s biggest rap group. Known for classics like “Guns don’t kill people rappers do”, The GLC started almost by accident around the turn of the century with Eggsy’s impromptu rap about his tracksuit over a serious piece of music Rhys was working on in the studio. Adam Hussain, Billy Webb, Mystkal, the Maggot, 2hats and Mike Balls convinced Rhys to record the rap. Fuelled by Lambrini, fags, Chicken Tikka Massala and weed they all took to the mic and The GLC’s first album “Don’t Blame the Chain” was born. And so it began, the journey which has so far seen The GLC rise to the top of the charts, perform around the world and at every major festival in the Western Hemisphere and make millions of people laugh along the way. Now many years since that first rap about Eggsy’s tracksuit, the boys are still keeping it real in the rap game and hold the title of the most successful UK rap act ever. To date The GLC have released 18 albums… and amazingly none of them have died yet. You knows it! GLC (Live) plus special guests

Mclusky

18 Dec 2025 - 20 Dec 2025

Mclusky (often stylized as mclusky), originally known as Best, were a three-piece post-hardcore group formed in Cardiff, Wales. The group consisted of Englishman Andrew "Falco" Falkous (vocals, guitar) from Newcastle Upon Tyne, Jonathan Chapple (bass, vocals) and Jack Egglestone (drums), who replaced previous drummer Matthew Harding in late 2003. According to the band, they originally formed in 1996 when Falkous and Harding met at the Blackwood Miners Institute, a venue in their home town. The pair met Chapple a short time afterwards at the Reading Festival when they caught him urinating on their tent late in the night. More realistically it has been suggested that Falkous and Harding met when working together at Anglian Windows, a small double-glazing call centre in Cardiff. They discussed their musical ambitions after a conversation about Reading Festival, Falkous gave Harding a tape of songs he had written on his own, and shortly after they formed a band called Best after early Beatles drummer Pete Best. The original bass player for Best was Geraint Bevan, Harding's old musical comrade from The Derelicts. Best existed in this form for almost a year before Bevan left to concentrate on his acting career, but not before Best had played a show with a band called 'Myrtle', which featured the bass guitarist Jon Chapple. Shortly after the departure of Bevan, the remaining two members managed to convince Chapple to join the band; this was based on the strength of the three track demo Best had recently finished at 'Ocean Studios' in Cardiff (this cassette which was sold by the band themselves was the unofficial debut, entitled the Benedict EP). Best signed to London label Seriously Groovy and released their official debut record, the 3-track single "Huwuno". The band changed its name to Mclusky in 1999, releasing their first full-length album My Pain and Sadness is More Sad and Painful Than Yours in 2000 on the Fuzzbox imprint before drawing international attention with their critically praised second album Mclusky Do Dallas in 2002. In 2004 they released their third album The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not on Fire to positive reviews. They worked frequently with recording engineer Steve Albini.

Michael Aldag

17 Dec 2025 - 17 Dec 2025

Meet Michael Aldag: a singer and a songwriter (but not a singer-songwriter), a producer, an accidental Tik Tok star and — let’s not beat around the bush here — every inch a total popstar. At just 19 his prodigious knack for observational tunesmithery vividly captures life’s joys, sorrows, and confusing in between bits. My music’s for anybody who feels slightly-to-constantly overwhelmed and unsure of who they are, flailing around in this massive ridiculous world,” he states. “When I feel like I’m in a clouded headspace I can go and write, and by the time I’m done I’ll have a better idea of how I feel, even if what I’ve made is not a particularly good song.” The better you get to know Michael the more you’ll get used to his self-effacing turns of phrase but, for the record, his songs really are particularly good. Since uploading his debut single Entitled in 2019 he’s released a barrage of songs combining razor-sharp lyrics that recall Lily Allen, Lorde and The Streets, with fresh beats that see 80s synth pop through the prism of 21st Century existential angst. Somewhere among it all, Michael says, are some unexpected influences. There’s Marina & The Diamonds, whose music Michael’s dad would often play in the car on family trips, while his penchant for an anthemic chorus could give Bastille or The Killers a run for their money.

Out of respect and deference to the beloved series they band decided to put the concert to rest in 2018. After the recent and untimely passing of David Lynch the band began to receive several high profile requests to revive their interpretation of this iconic music. However, in wanting to always try to follow, honor and continue to be inspired by the incredibly high bar of artistic challenge set by David Lynch, Xiu Xiu is instead going deeper. ERASERHEAD XIU XIU is new a live concert with accompanying film that uses field recordings, concert specific homemade instruments, organ, modular synths, vocals, flashlights, electrical interference and elements of musique concrete to express the bizarre emotionality, conflicted sexuality, relentless darkness and singularly unsettled moonscape of this most incredible of midnight masterpieces. The original sound design and score by Alan Spelt and Lynch serve as guide wires to Xiu Xiu's sonic expansion of how they have been affected by them as fans and musicians. The original film gives birth to Xiu Xiu's visual lens through which to be baffled and pummeled by the band's imaginary unused auxiliary footage. Is it a short term art installation, an exploded tribute to a cinematic triumph, epitaph to an idol, via an entirely new work? YES Is it intense, odd, curious and shrouded in the gloomiest of nights? OF COURSE, after all it is Eraserhead. Presented by Grey Lantern. This is an 14+ event - under 18s to be accompanied by an adult.

In 2017, Ward began his musical quest after releasing his EP, A Peak at the Summit followed by the full-length, Valley Hopefuls and stellar EP, Remain Calm which included the infectious single, “Lil Baby Crush”. It wasn't until his 2023 debut album, FORWARD, that Ward became the talk of R&B and Hip Hop. His project was propelled by singles "WHITE CROCS" and "FAMJAM4000", Executive Produced by Lido. Ward’s momentum has remained consistent through global touring with JID, Smino, 6LACK, and a sold out solo headline run.

Yellow Days

4 May 2026 - 10 May 2026

George van den Broek aka Yellow Days is a teenager hailing from the town of Haslemere, England. The 18 year old sings like a 300 year wizard and sits perfectly next to 70's soul greats. Peppered with winding, magical mystery tour-like interludes, debut album Is Everything Ok In Your World? is as complete a statement as they come, and presents an artist with - what you’d expect - is almost a frightening level of ideas and creativity up his sleeve. It’s clear that traditional genre boundaries mean little to van den Broek, and it makes the record a refreshing melting pot of jazz, indie, soul and beyond. It’s an incredibly conscious album, tackling battles amongst friends, strangers and himself with the upmost care. In a world increasingly anxious and disconnected, the compassion and care of Yellow Days is something to treasure.

Jutes

2 May 2026 - 6 May 2026

As a 90s baby, Jutes’ is constantly referencing and pulling inspiration from the alternative rock bands he grew up on like Nirvana, Deftones, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins & more. Never being able to put Jutes in a box has been a recurring theme from the beginning. It all started with Hip Hop and R&B while living in Toronto. Then after packing his bags and moving to LA to couch surf, Jutes signed to Capitol Records and started making Trap infused Pop Punk. After a couple years Jutes went back to being independent and released a Grunge Rock album titled “Ladybug.” The newest chapter in his story has taken on a dark and cinematic tone. Cross breeding the heaviness of nu metal/metal with an atmospheric hip hop infused indie feel. Jutes' most recent album Sleepyhead helped catapult him in the genre, lead by the title track that found itself exploding on both streaming and alternative radio. Sleepyhead was Jutes’ first ever song to chart on both Billboard and Mediabase (#23). After countless viral clips from a handful of live shows Jutes played at the end of the year the Sleepyhead album has now surpassed 100M global streams on Spotify alone while Dilworth has racked up over 50M streams on Spotify before the release date of the full album. His next album Dilworth comes out 12/3, which is also the final date of the last leg of his sold out Sleepyhead tour. In 2026, Jutes plans to make his European headline debut along with a number of North American festival dates. Presented by Live Nation 14+ (U16 must be accompanied by an adult)

Hailing from the ‘cultural soup’ of Doncaster, ADMT embodies many moods and flavours across his mainly R&B-tinged Pop repertoire.

Realness and relatability are at the core of what drives him as an artist and his songs touch on everything from mental health to the power of great friendships and the almost inevitable fck ups we make when having a fun night out.

Aries

10 Apr 2026 - 14 Apr 2026

An artist who has always been closely guarded, Aries’ latest release GLASS JAW is his most personal work to date. Aries has always moved on the margins and lived as an outsider. After earning notoriety in the creatively fertile YouTube boom, deconstructing the music of Drake and Lil Uzi Vert with near-surgical understanding of production, Aries had been nurturing a vision as an artist in his own right which led him to belong to a musical movement which completely redefined alternative music through online community. The tension between confidence and fragility defines the central thesis of GLASS JAW. Sonically, the album sees Aries take bolder swings away from the trap rhythms that once defined him without compromising on his knack for anthemic choruses. His fluency in experimental hip-hop has never been stronger - and he turns it all on a dime with his honeyed, unmistakable voice which rides the knife edge between pop and something altogether darker. Presented by SJM This is a 14+ (14-16s with an adult) event - physical photo ID required

Kollektiv Turmstrasse is the epitome of an artist who resists getting stuck in one particular sound. The testament to this is an ever-evolving back catalogue of incredible electronic music which meanders effortlessly through house, techno, breakbeat & indie dance to hip-hop and pop influences, tied together by an unmistakably warm, melodic and groove-driven style which has made the project an iconic staple of dance floors across the world for decades whilst countless trends have come and gone. Performing now as a 'one man collective' after the departure of co-founder, Christian in 2023, Nico Plagemann is deeply passionate not only about the musical creation process, but also the scene and environment that allows it to exist. Through his own event series YAP (You Are Perfect), Turmstrasse reflects the ideals which align with and inspire our own - namely that dance music culture is founded on inclusion, community and respect. Not a place for exclusivity, elitism or pretence. As the next in our 'Klubnacht' series, and after the huge success at Kable last time - this event will follow the NO CAMERAS POLICY. Stickers will be used to cover all cameras. This is one to experience and enjoy - not to record. We can't thank everyone enough for the support we've had over the last 2 years and we hope you can join us for this truly special one. We need you on the dance floor!
