Where: Wasing Estate in Reading
Raise a hand if you’d like to see a Brit Award winner perform this June. Well, you’re in luck because none other than the funky duo, Jungle, will be live at the Mount Wasing Estate on Thursday 27th June. If you’re not familiar with Jungle's work, they’re the guys who put us ‘Back on 74’ with their most successful album to date, Volcano. So get ready to see what these guys do best; bring an outstanding performance filled with collaborations, and top-notch jazzy/ electronic sound.

Paloma Faith is an absolute gem and a powerhouse of a singer, so who wouldn’t want to go see this Southern lass performing live on stage? On Friday 16th August Paloma Faith will be at Dreamland Margate, a part of their summer series to belt out her discography. Reaching icon status as the only other British female artist, joining Adele, in having her last three albums go platinum in the UK Paloma is really a standout artist. With her comeback single, ‘How You Leave A Man’, ready and raring to be heard live, it’d be crazy to miss out!

Where: The Star and Garter in Manchester
Time to support a good cause because, bassist and co-founder of Joy Division and New Order is heading to The Star and Garter in Manchester in aid of mental health charity, Shout. The evening is planned to be an intimate atmosphere of music and conversation in light of the passing of Peter’s fellow band member, Ian Curtis. The night will be presented by Headstock and welcome the crowd to be enlightened on mental health with a Q&A. Plus insight on Peter’s time at Joy Divisions and friendship with his late friend Curtis.
Due to limited capacity, only 200 people will be allowed to attend where you can also watch Peter Hook and the light perform on stage, including an exclusive Joy Division set.

When: Saturday 4th May 2024
Where: New Century in Manchester
Taking a bit of a detour we have no other than experimental pioneers, Mount Kimbie. The band is at legendary status with their epic run of 16 years, and it’s not stopping any time soon. For any Mount Kimbie fans out there, you would know how the pair enjoys keeping their sound fresh, by ironically not sticking to just one sound. And for those questioning what the sound is exactly; picture having a favourite child and no matter what they attempt they always succeed at it - that’s their sound. From indie, to electronic, to a bit of rap and hip hop they’re what a true musical shapeshifter looks like.

When: Saturday 19th October 2024
Where: Keele SU (Student Union) in Newcastle-Under-Lyme
Nobody can deny a bit of an indie/ pop 00s throwback and, if you’re anywhere near Newcastle-Under-Lyme then you’re in the right place to live out all your main character moments as Scouting For Girls is performing live. The band is heading on a huge tour this winter with a bucket load of destinations on their list, and one of their stops is Keele SU (Student Union). The band will be having you jumping and reciting their lyrics like no tomorrow from 7pm - 11:30 pm; we’re getting buzzed just thinking about it.

Maruja + GANS
When: Wednesday 17th April 2024
Where: Hare and Hounds in Birmingham
Get on a deeper level with their sound because Maruja will be playing at Hare and Hounds in Birmingham this April. The band has been on somewhat of a high since their debut EP ‘Knocknarea’ was rated as no.1 on Rate Your Music, and their success hasn’t stopped since. Described as a ferocious combination of break-beat-punk, harsh noise, and transcendent cosmic jazz; the band has been making a dent in each genre exploring some raw topics alongside. They’ll be accompanied by GANS (an upcoming rock band), this is not a gig you’d want to miss to witness some new edgy talent.

When: Saturday 20th April 2024
Where: Hare and Hounds in Birmingham
Since 1993 General Levy has been bringing his reggae sound to the function and he’s ready to do it again this April at the Hare and Hound in Birmingham. The ragga DJ is well known within the music scene as a massive talent with an infectious personality; a credit to true Caribbean culture. If you’re not familiar with General Levy he’s the legend on the iconic Jungle banger ‘Incredible’ with Mr Beat. Expect a night of heavy jungle and reggae madness to take place from 10 pm to 3 am.
