Thu, 12 Mar 2026 10:23:32 Z

Ocean Colour Scene guitarist Steve Cradock is responsible for some of the most distinctive riffs of the past 30 years. The man who gave us signature riffs ignited The Riverboat Song and Hundred Mile High and helped propel OCS to double-platinum glory with Moseley Shoals has been a mainstay of British rock since forming Ocean Colour Scene in 1989 with Simon Fowler, Damon Michella, and Oscar Harrison. OCS played record breaking gigs with Oasis at Knebworth for 250,000 people as Britpop reached its zenith in 1996. He joined Paul Weller’s band in 1992 and has appeared on all of his studio albums, while also joining The Specials in 2014. In his debut tour, Steve will be playing and singing hits from the OCS songbook, and much more.

An Evening with Tom Meighan (12/03/2027, 19:00)

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 09:41:25 Z

Tom Meighan – the original voice of Kasabian

The singer who fronted Kasabian through their biggest triumphs from 1997 to 2020 is hitting the road. With eleven platinum records and five consecutive UK number one albums, Meighan is a generational frontman headlining festivals, storming the charts, and commanding headlines across a defining era of British music. Following the release of a blistering new album in 2025 and a run of sold-out shows, Tom now invites audiences to experience something more intimate and revealing.

These confessional evenings see him share his life stories the highs, the lows, and the extraordinary years at the heart of Kasabian, alongside an acoustic performance accompanied by his guitarist. Raw, honest, and unfiltered, this is a rare chance to hear the stories behind the songs. It’ll be a wild ride and a show that true fans will not want to miss.

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 13:12:32 +0100

For Fans Of Rudimental, Meute, Fred Again...

Local, Stoke-based KiLNE is a unique new band that bridges the gap between traditional big band music and electronic beats. Made up of equal numbers of drums and brass players and often performing as a 20-piece band, KiLNE has earned praise for its high-quality brass arrangements, performed by real instruments using top players from jazz, big band, brass band and classical.

KiLNE was founded by musicians Danny Shaw and Ben Oakes in Stoke, using the skills of local musicians and styled on the traditional town centre parade bands that Danny was already working with.

KILNE has re-interpreted hits by Peggy Gou, Rudimental, Fred Again, and Flux Pavilion, amongst others and the accompanying ambitious videos have been shared extensively on social media, earning them a legion of new fans.

In response to demand, KiLNE are doing their first ever headline dates in November 2026, including this home-town show at Keele SU! Expect to hear songs from their catalogue and new live exclusive tracks.
