What's on at The Forum
Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Categories, Pop and rock
Sweet-singing 24-year-old acoustician Leftwich continues to play from last year's album 'Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm'. He should find favour with fans of Iron and Wine and Jose Gonzalez.
Parov Stelar Band
Categories, Jazz and experimental, Pop and rock
Austrian musician and DJ Stelar combines house, swing, jazz and pop with his electro-swing band.
Big Country
Categories, Pop and rock
The folk-loving Scottish new wave group return with their bagpipe-imitating riffs. April will mark the release of their first album for well over a decade, ‘The Journey’, and they’re still fit to play the hits despite the tragic death of singer and guitarist...
Mudhoney
Categories, Pop and rock
The 'honey return. These noisy Seattlites were pioneers of grunge – a term that lead singer Mark Arm may have actually invented – and haven't got any more mellow with age: their raucous ninth album, 'Vanishing Point', is released this year.

Lovebox presents Nile Rodgers and Chic at The Forum
House, techno and electro, Pop and rock, Disco, Clubs, Nu-disco, Funk, Soul
- Critics' choice
Decades before he became best buds with Daft Punk, Nile Rodgers was belting out funk riffs with Chic, a seminal disco-pop band that paved the way with infectious hits like 'Le Freak'. Here's your chance to catch the whole band live, fronted by the charismatic...
The Breeders
Categories, Pop and rock
A welcome return from Pixies bassist Kim Deal and her sister Kelley. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their classic album 'Last Splash', these twins from Ohio have pieced together the same Breeders line-up that made the album (drummer Jim MacPherson...
Red Snapper + Radioactive Man
Experimental and free improvisation, Alternative rock
- Critics' choice
Original Red Snapper members Richard Thair (drums), Ali Friends (bass) and David Ayres (guitar) are, since their reunion in 2007, joined by young tenor sax player Tom Challenger, and continue to build sinuous, sensuous dance music – equal parts dub, soundtrack,...

Odd Future
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
This ultra-hyped Californian teen rap collective – full name: Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All – have set the US hip hop world ablaze with their contrary blend of eloquence, intelligence and brattish, deliberately provocative obnoxiousness. It's not...

Clutch
Categories, Pop and rock
Maryland fusion metallers Clutch play a mix of Zep riffage and funk-addled rhythms, with some deft wordplay in their lyrics to boot.
The Boxer Rebellion
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
The unlucky London group continue their remarkable comeback, after their initial run of success in the mid-noughties was dampened by label chaos and personal tragedy. The Boxer Rebellion are back with their self-released fourth album 'Promises'. They...
Everything Everything
Indie rock
- Critics' choice
- Free
We weren't too impressed by this Manchester four-piece's second album 'Arc' (read our review), but their groove-heavy blend of synthy art-pop, odd time signatures and careening, falsetto-fuelled harmonies blows up on stage.
Ane Brun
Categories, Pop and rock
Engagingly unorthodox Norwegian songwriter Brun, who now lives in Sweden, can sound a little like a cross between Dolly Parton and a less spooked Stephanie Dosen.
Happy Mondays
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
First there was 'Madchester', now we're just living through 'Dadchester'. Following the Stone Roses' cash-driven reunion, the original line up of Shaun Ryder's once great freaky-dancin' and melon-twistin' avant-funkers put aside their (considerable) differences,dust...

New Model Army
Alternative rock, Punk and hardcore, New wave and post-punk
Justin Sullivan's rumbling, militant doom-rock veterans march on, 33 years after they first came together in Bradford. Despite the band's consistently bad reviews – including, hilariously, a write-up by the US Immigration Department in 1985 that stated...

Shed Seven
Britpop
The days when they littered the charts with indie disco anthems may be gone, but you can be sure that tonight Rick Witter and co will roll out all the favourites: 'Disco Down', 'On Standby', 'She Left Me On Friday'…
