Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, and her number one album Under The Pink, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. Tori has transcended from commercial pop success to using her music to tackle serious issues around female gender, subsequently paving the way for a generation of young female activist popstars. From her visceral depiction of sexual assault in Me and a Gun and her post-9/11 album Scarlet’s Walk, to her decidedly feminist stage musical The Light Princess, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. Her stunning album Ocean To Ocean addressed the feelings of lock down, isolation, family and grief, with a gentle euphoric approach to such potentially dark musings.

Literary phenomenon John Cooper Clarke is a British cult hero. Known as the “Godfather of Punk Poetry” and the original people’s poet, John’s cultural influence spans literature, music and fashion. From creating some of the most iconic poetry of the modern era, including the world’s most popular wedding poem “I Wanna Be Yours” (which has over a billion streams in its incarnation as a hit record by the Arctic Monkeys) to sharing his life story through his best selling memoir of the same name which is full of John’s much-loved sardonic wit and hilarious ponderings on modern life. John is referenced as a major influence not just by the Arctic Monkeys but also by artists across the globe… As well as musicians like Alex Turner, The Sleaford Mods and Plan B, his legendary number “Evidently Chickentown” plays out the penultimate episode of The Sopranos. Watching John Cooper Clarke perform is an opportunity to see a living legend at the top of his game. Doctor John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s. Captivating audiences with his unique poetry and delivery style, he clawed his way up from working men’s clubs and cabaret venues in his native Salford and Manchester, to become one of the most prolific figures in punk. John’s early live shows were renowned occasions, and headline gigs were supported by many soon-to-be superstars including Joy Division, New Order and Duran Duran, as well as playing as special guest on shows by the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and The Clash. After the release of his seminal album on CBS “Snap, Crackle and Bop” where John’s poems were put to music by the legendary music producer Martin Hannett, he was firmly established as one of the most important artists of the Punk era. His recorded album was followed by the release of his first collection 10 Years in an Open Necked Shirt. The book is one of the best-selling poetry anthologies ever in the UK, Canada and Australia. As relevant and vibrant as ever, John Cooper Clarke’s influence is just as visible in contemporary pop culture, with his trademark ‘look’ resonating with fashion-conscious individuals across all demographics and his poetry features in the UK national curriculum syllabus. Having had a groundbreaking effect on modern music, his influence can be eard within the social observations of the Arctic Monkeys, amongst many others. His sense of humor resounds throughout his career, and his latest live show is a mix of classic verse, new material, hilarious ponderings on modern life, good honest gags, riffs and chat.

From their rise to MTV superstardom through pop-punk’s modern resurgence, Simple Plan have been an indelible part of pop culture since forming in Montreal in 1999.

But most importantly, they’ve never lost connection with what really matters: their audience. “We feel so lucky to have fans who love our old and new material,” says drummer Chuck Comeau. “We’re very proud of our past, but we’re even more excited about the future. We truly always feel we’re 3 minutes away from the best or biggest song of our career.” Ten years on from their 2002 debut, No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls, Simple plan returned in 2022 with their sixth studio album, Harder Than It Looks. The first self-released album from Comeau, vocalist Pierre Bouvier and guitarists Sébastien Lefebvre and Jeff Stinco, the album respected Simple Plan’s storied career while pushing them forward in new ways, with songs like 'The Antidote', 'Ruin My Life' (ft. Deryck Whibley), 'Congratulations', 'Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)' and 'Iconic'.

‘Mr. Saturday Night’ marks the 4th Album from the Multi-Platinum certified hardcore, West Coast / Lone Star Country phenomenon JON PARDI. With a pair of No 1 Country Album debuts – ‘Heartache Medication’ and his sophomore ‘California Sunrise’ – Pardi has refined and defined a country sound that’s long on punch, power and the kind of honkytonk that gets people drinking, dancing and drowning their heartaches. Those heartaches drive ‘Mr. Saturday Night’, a deep dive into good-timing to get over a break-up, bust up or any other bit of rancid luck. Pardi embraces western swing, breezy California midtempos, bar-room shuffles, an erotic slow burn – or two, Bakersfield hell-raisers and a couple of ballads to show a more mature side of the guy who’s been championing all the styles of juke joint music since earning ACM new Male Vocalist of the Year in 2016 and CMA Best New Artist in 2017. Three years in the making, Pardi’s focus remains conveying the strongest emotions, while pushing the boundaries of what good time songs can do and staying true to the man acclaimed by the New York Times, Variety and Rolling Stone’s sense of what County is. Jon Pardi makes what hurts so bad so much fun – and in a world gone mad, that’s a pretty good card to have up your sleeve…..
