Top Picks
Queens Of The Stone Age
Led by Josh Homme, Queens Of The Stone Age always prove to be wildly original and utterly thrilling. Their unique sound developed out of stoner rock has seen them draw on influences as far and wide as metal, folk and blues to create some of the most exciting music for a generation.
With the news of a new album titled ‘Villains’ produced by none other than Mark Ronson comes the announcement that QOTSA will take over The O2 Arena in London for a very special headline show on Tuesday 21st of November where they will play their new material plus hits from their impeccable back catalogue.
Queens Of The Stone Age tickets are currently available.
Radiohead
One of the greatest rock acts of our age, Radiohead have grown from 90’s angsty guitar band to embrace a wide sphere of influence from kraut, electronica and folk to develop into an unstoppable creative force with each new album release being considered an event in contemporary music.
Following what will be no doubt be a superb performance at Glastonbury, Radiohead will head off to Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester on Tuesday 4th of July where they will play a headline set expected to draw heavily from their seminal album ‘Ok Computer’ which was released twenty years ago.
Radiohead tickets are currently available.
Dinosaurs Of China
Prepare for the most exciting event for millions of years as Dinosaurs Of China arrives at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham. The world exclusive exhibition brings the magnificent monsters of pre-history to life with colossal 3D mounted skeletons including the mighty Mamenchisaurus which towers above three double decker buses. Marvel at the many fossils and specimens on display showing how dinosaurs evolved into the very birds that surround us today.
Running from July until the end of October, Dinosaurs Of China is a wonderful day out for all the family.
Dinosaurs Of China tickets are currently available.
Future
Future AKA Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn is the most exciting rapper for a generation. After exploding between 2010 and 2011 with a series of crucial mixtapes, he has grown to enjoy major commercial success starting with his 2012 album debut ‘Pluto’.
In February, he released his awesome sixth album ‘Hndrxx’ which shot straight to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts in the US. Later in the year you can catch him performing the new material plus more from his immense back catalogue at Manchester Academy and O2 Academy Birmingham during October.
