LOOSE ARTICLES
We are thrilled to welcome punks Loose Articles back to Future Yard on Friday 21st February 2025 as part of their ‘Kick Like a Girl: Extra Time’ Tour, funded by Arts Council England.
Recently winning themselves coveted, high profile support slots with the likes of New Order, Foo Fighters, The Lovely Eggs and Gang Of Four, the quartet are proudly presenting an alternative touring model with their own run of headline dates next year.
Giving inclusive, intimate access and entry-level insights into the music industry, whilst supporting grassroots venues and northern creatives, the band invite you to join them on their musical journey. They will be sharing the secrets of what it’s really like to be in their shoes, and a part of the Loose Articles touring team, which includes female booking agents, crew, promoter, and management.
Tickets on sale now. Just £5 (+ booking fee).
VENUE INFO
Future Yard is open every day from 10am – so you can stop by for a coffee or a pre-show drink in our bar area whenever you like! Our pizza kitchen is open on weekends and before every gig, 6 – 9pm.
The live room doors open at 7:30pm (this is separate from our bar area), and music starts at 7:45pm.
Commenting on the project, the band say: “This is the second Kick Like a Girl tour and from the reaction we had during and following the last one, we feel more than ever the importance as a band to be doing tours like this. We feel passionately about making changes in the music industry to address inequality. We want to create a shift away in the industry we operate in from being white male dominated.”
“Across all the job roles that exist—from being in a band to being a sound tech, promoter, manager etc—we want to encourage young female and non-binary people to get involved and feel like they can succeed in this line of work. As a band our song topics touch on gender roles and overcoming the struggles of being a gender minority in a male dominated industry, so why not actually practice what we preach about in our songs and really try to make a difference? We want all of the gigs we play to be a safe space for all regardless of gender identity. Everyone is invited to get involved with the party!”
