KATY HURT + TWO WAYS HOME 02.10
“The only thing better than doing what you love is doing it with your friends… and we really love hitting the road and playing some shows!”
UK country/Americana standouts Two Ways Home and Katy Hurt are joining forces this Autumn and are proud to present the Better Together Tour.
Hitting the road across the UK this October and November, the ‘Better Together’ tour throws the traditional headline format out the window. Instead of a standard back-to-back lineup, expect a fully collaborative experience from start to finish. Fans will get the best of both worlds: high-energy full-band performances, intimate acoustic moments and the exclusive live debut of brand-new music.
FFO: Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert

RADIO WIGWAM 06.10
Get ready for a serious dose of high-energy Dutch rock.
Hailing from Nijmegen, SONIC WHIP are a three-piece alternative rock powerhouse, combining huge guitar riffs, pounding grooves and infectious multi-part vocals. Their sound draws on ’90s grunge, modern rock and stoner influences, but their live performance is entirely their own.
They’ve already taken their explosive live show across Europe and the UK, appearing at festivals including Zwarte Cross, Huntenpop, Firevolt Rock Festival and Wokingham Festival.
And they have the awards to prove it: Radio Wigwam Award winners for both Best International Band and Best Live Act.
Expect massive riffs, hard-driving rhythms, big harmonies and an energy that refuses to sit still.
SONIC WHIP are coming. Don’t miss them.
Sonic Whip will be supported by the amazing Two Tonne Machete and Bone-Idl.

IGUANA DEATH CULT 19.10
Future Yard are excited to welcome Iguana Death Cult to the live room. With their latest iteration, the band laments on personal stories of hardship and doubt whilst fixing their gaze on the burning world around them. Guitars, percussion, synths and a whole lot of soul-searching is all that Iguana Death Cult needed for their recent resurrection.
As part of a personnel change the band gained a strong new line-up, including the dazzlingly virtuous drummer Uri Rennert (previously in Häxxan and Brian Jonestown Massacre).
This new era of Iguana Death Cult’s existence is channelling their earlier punk and garage style while simultaneously feeling unmistakeably like a product of today. It is characterised by razor sharp and highly rhythmic riffing by Tobias Opschoor and the relentless drumming by Uri Rennert. By the ever-groovy and effortlessly cool percussion and synths by Jimmy de Kok and by the hefty yet heartfelt voice of frontman Jeroen Reek, guiding the listener through feelings of despair, anger and solace, in that very order.
On their new record Guns Out, released via Greenway Records, Iguana Death Cult is excersing self-reflection on multiple levels: by breaking with the more indie-like, art-punk-funk sound of their previous album (Echo Palace, released through Innovative Leisure in 2023), returning to a more ‘in your face’ punchy garage rock style.
FFO: Viagra Boys, The Oh Sess, Idles

YUMI + THE WEATHER 20.10

ANNIE-CLAUDE DESCHÊNES 23.10
Multidisciplinarity is an integral part of the creative process of Annie-Claude Deschênes, who continues her perpetual personal quest of uniting music and performance art by bending thepre-established conventions of stage presence.
A key figure in the Montreal independent music scene for twenty years, she made her mark as a frontwoman, singer, musician, songwriter, performer, and visual artist with cult bands Duchess Says and PyPy. Inspired by minimal pop and the pioneers of electronic music, LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE, her first solo album released in 2024, is as danceable and melodic as it is disquieting—proposing to set the table differently by deconstructing the social codes of politeness imposed on us. In April 2025, she released “Main de Fer,” a single that showcases a new & unique direction in her artistic approach.
Support comes from Liverpool’s own gothic alt-pop trio THE DSM IV. The band crystallise the ultra real and the otherworldly, bringing a focused hyperrealism to the party. Their convention-defying live performances toy with audience expectations and stimulate questions of the narratives being sold to us as news—or entertainment—all to the beat of the drum machinist.
