Baby Keem - The Ca$ino Tour
11 Sept 2026 - 18 Sept 2026
A ‘00s baby growing up in Vegas, Hykeem Carter couldn’t be any less interested in a City of Sin devoid of a hip hop scene. But, maybe, it was that very boredom that fuelled the budding Grammy Award winner’s hunger to explore new horizons; working on his craft largely under the radar; purposely not reaching out or revealing his connection to his cousin – a one Kendrick Lamar – until he reached at least an adequate level of prowess.
Baby Keem’s debut album, The Melodic Blue, came in 2021, a forceful, mostly self-produced statement of intent from the burgeoning artist. Trap bangers high on ‘durag activity’ with the likes of Travis Scott pierced through wistful, cinematic moods akin to indie song-making, all the way to number five on the Billboard 200. The now LA-based rapper also had the confidence to stand proudly beside Lamar. Enter ‘family ties’, a combative, horn-laden showstopper of a track from the album, and the cousins’ first official collab. Nominated for two Grammy Awards, the single won them Best Rap Performance the following year.
While shedding the layers to allow a new vulnerability shine through, Baby Keem bolstered his resume with high-profile collabs on either side of his first studio release: he got production credits on Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, Jay Rock’s Redemption and Schoolboy Q’s Crash Talk. He joined Kanye West’s ‘Praise God’, alongside Travis Scott, on the chart-topping Donda in 2021, and Lamar’s conscious hip-hop opus Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers in 2022, winner of Best Rap Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
Still in his early 20s, a break for this life-long student of hip-hop was long overdue. But, even away from the spotlight, Baby Keem is always writing his next chapter. Hear him roar.

The Amy Winehouse Experience: Lioness
4 Sept 2026 - 10 Apr 2027

Lioness provide an authentic tribute to the precocious talent featuring TV’s ‘Stars in Their Eyes’ finalist Emma Wright as Amy Winehouse plus a full seven piece backing band to recreate the authentic sound of this heady mix of jazz, soul and pop. This full stage show showcasing the talent of this songstress will take you on a journey through the emotional roller coaster of her song writing, guaranteed to have you singing and dancing along throughout the performance.
The band are made up of hand-picked experienced musicians, carefully selected to maintain the accuracy to the original performances of the UK’s brightest star that so tragically burned out in 2011, focusing on her vocal talent and soul. Lioness provide, without doubt, the most authentic recreation of Amy Winehouse, designed to entertain and deliver the experience of Amy at her very best.
Having recently completed their first two UK and Irish tours the response from the audience has exceeded all expectations. Selling out shows and covering over 8,000 miles and selling in excess of 7,000 tickets in the past year The Amy Winehouse Experience have delivered at every level.

Ezra Collective
26 Feb 2027 - 21 Mar 2027
Before the pandemic struck, Ezra Collective were on fire. A world tour awaited them following years of hard graft, the critically acclaimed release of their 2019 debut album You Can’t Steal My Joy, and an explosive Glastonbury performance that brought UK jazz to unseen heights. “Then a big pause button was pressed,” says Femi Koleoso, the drummer and band leader. Ezra had been touring relentlessly for more than half-a-decade, stopping only occasionally to record. “The pandemic was how we entered this transition phase,” he continues.
Ezra Collective’s new era, a venture in discovered maturity and raised stakes, will be defined by the anticipated second album. Where I’m Meant To Be is a thumping celebration of life, an affirming elevation in the Ezra Collective’s winding hybrid sound and refined collective character. The songs marry cool confidence with bright energy. Full of call-and-response conversations between their ensemble parts, a natural product of years improvising together on-stage, the album-which also features Sampa The Great, Kojey Radical, Emile Sande and Nao - will light up sweaty dance floors and soundtrack summer dinners in equal measure.

Flamingo, produced by Stuart Price, Daniel Lanois, and Brendan O'Brien, is a stunning 10-song collection from an artist whose brilliant showmanship and powerful vocals have made him such a recognizable and iconic artist. The record is a classic American rock album, full of extraordinary choruses, vast instrumentation and Flowers' incredible voice, sounding richer and fiercer than ever before. Exuding all that dazzles and shines about his hometown of Las Vegas, Flamingo is packed full of sparkling, stadium-ready songs that you cannot help but sing along with.
The album, which was released last week in the UK and Europe, is #1 in the UK, where it went gold within two days. Flamingo's infectious first single "Crossfire" is currently sitting pretty in the #1 slot on the UK airplay chart.
