Informações adicionais

Sunderland royalty and long time friends of the venue, The Futureheads, join us for a very special show as part of our 20th birthday celebrations throughout 2026.

The Futureheads first electrified audiences with their 2004 self-titled debut album, which included the explosive cover of Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love—a track that not only earned them the NME Single of the Year but also solidified their place in the pantheon of Britsh rock. With subsequent albums like News and Tributes (2006), This Is Not The World (2008), The Chaos (2010) the a cappella masterpiece Rant (2012) and 2019’s Powers, The Futureheads consistently push the boundaries of their sound, all while maintaining the raw edge and infectious energy that have become their trademark.

Para fãs de: Rock, Indie & Alternativo, e Eletrônico.

Wherever The Futureheads go, and whatever they do next I’m afraid to say they’ll be followed by plenty of “oh-ohoh-oh-ohohs”. Thanks to their superb cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds of Love’, they’ll always be remembered for THAT SONG. The Sunderland four-piece shot to critical acclaim in 2004 thanks to their self-titled debut album, winning plenty of awards along the way for their mix of post-punk and three/four part harmonies. There can be no doubt the band know their way around a great pop song, following that record up with two more consistent albums in the form of News and Tributes and This Is Not The World. The band has been a lot quieter of late when it comes to playing live, perhaps seeking to distance themselves from certain songs, but it’d be a sad day if a show by The Futureheads didn’t contain the stop-start dynamics of ‘Decent Days and Nights’, the aggressive ‘The Beginning of the Twist’ and of course the standard set-closer of ‘Hounds of Love’. Barry Hyde and co might also treat you to some acapella or acoustic versions of some of their tracks, just showing off some excellent voices in the process. They may not escape that song, but really why should they want to when crowds continue to have a great time listening?
