Protomen

The Protomen is an American rock band best known for composing original rock operas based on the popular video game series Mega Man. Because of the group's insistence on wearing costumes and using code-names, even when being interviewed, The Protomen remain a mysterious entity within the video game music scene. Their costumes and general stage presence has been compared to that of Daft Punk. Despite often being classified as a niche, the Protomen have achieved a cult following thanks, in part, to frequent mentions in popular video game web sites as well as a dedicated fan base.

Divergent Events presents: THERAPY?

Since 1990 and the self-release of their Meat Abstract single Northern Irish rock band Therapy? have lived through ‘the troubles’, a peace process, seven record labels, three drummers, a cellist and witnessed the widespread use of the mobile phone, a personal computer in every home, the internet, the introduction of WiFi, a single European currency, the rise and fall of baggy, grunge, britpop, nu metal and emo, released 15 albums and sold in excess of three million albums, had hit singles, collaborated with a myriad of artists including Ozzy Osbourne and David Holmes, toured the world many, many times and played countless live shows.

Amongst all this cacophony they have continued to plough their singular vision with a determination and wit making friends in the process. They intend to celebrate the last thirty years in all their sour glory while looking forward to the next events of history to unfold around them. Therapy? celebrate their 30th anniversary with the release of ‘Greatest Hits (2020 Versions)’, an album of very special recordings of their UK Top 40 singles, recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios with producer Chris Sheldon (Troublegum, Semi-Detached, Cleave).

That was ‘then’!

Nordic Giants

Following on from the success of their debut album - 'A Sèance of Dark Delusions’ and their documentary / soundtrack project - 'Amplify Human Vibration', the mysterious Nordic Giants emerge from hiding with their second studio album & UK Tour simply entitled - 'Symbiosis’.

‘Symbiosis’ aims to pay homage to 10 years of Nordic Giants live performances & music and as those who have seen the live show will attest, it is a visceral experience that goes far beyond the normal descriptors!

This lastest tour will include a selection of hand picked award-winning short films projected alongside the music, and each a work of art by themselves. Whether live action or animation, experimental or narrative, each resonates and will stay with you in its own way.

Seeing Nordic Giants live has been described as akin to a religious experience: the multi-screen visuals, powerful strobes and exquisitely timed accompaniment create a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Tickets are now on sale now for the 2022 UK tour, which will include many songs from the new album, as well as a mix of older songs spanning the last 10 years. Expect brand new films as well as some older classics - to shock, awe and inspire!

Joining Nordic Giants on this tour will be the incredible Norwegian noise-rock band Årabrot.

Be the first to witness!

Corey Taylor

Don’t miss Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman, Corey Taylor, when he visits Swansea Arena on his 2022 tour!

Fans of Corey Taylor, and all the music he touches, know one thing – expect the unexpected.

Expect an artist that revels in the cathartic power of music, who refuses to be boxed in - who can sit at the top of global album and radio charts, but still blaze new trails.

And now, on his first solo outing, Taylor answers only to his unbridled love of songwriting, of performance, and of the music that has inspired his journey, genres be damned.

In yet another creative breakthrough, Taylor is now set to deliver his debut solo album CMFT—an eclectic selection of high-voltage songs just as thrillingly unpredictable as the artist himself.

If you have any access requirements please contact the venue Access Line on 0800 912 6971 to purchase your tickets.

Warrior Soul are a band designed for rebellion and Kory Clarke is still leading from the front. Kory Clarke is a singer, producer, band leader, frontman and artist/painter. Brought up in Detroit during the hard rocking 70's, he moved to NYC in 1984 and started confrontational hard rock outfit, Warrior Soul. Originally signed by Geffen records in ‘87, he produced and created the unique and incendiary firebrand that has released nine critically acclaimed albums including ‘Last Decade Dead Century’, ‘Drugs, God and the New Republic’ and ‘Salutations From The Ghetto Nation’ and ‘Destroy The War Machine’ .

‘Kory Clarke always warned about a fascist, warmongering USA, and now he’s got one. If rock’n’roll’s angriest man was ever gonna rally the troops and bring truth to power, the time is now.' – 4/5 Classic Rock

‘Three decades on Warrior Soul are still punk, still belligerent and still sticking it to the man’ – 8/10 Vive Le Rock

“The real deal. The most authentic 60’s inspired garage rock since Thee Milkshakes were around”.
Lee Cotterell (Vive Le Rock, UK)

The Courettes is the garage duo sensation from Brazil and Denmark!

One of the most hard working bands on the scene, The Courettes has been busy delivering their full-speed energetic performances (more than 250 concerts!) in 15 countries around Europe and Brazil. Still, they have had the time to release two new garage rock killers by the end of 2019: The spectoresque single “Christmas (I Can Hardly Wait)”, a girlie pop Christmas anthem lled with fuzzed out guitars and trashy jingle bells (released by Danish label Crunchy Frog) and a new 7” with 4 killer tracks (recorded / mixed) by Liam Watson at legendary To- eRag Studios in London (released by Portuguese Groovie Records).

In 2020, The Courettes will be back at their own StarrSound Studios for working on new songs for their third album to be released by legendary Garage Punk label Damaged Goods.
Since the blasting debut album “Here are the Courettes” (Sounds of Subterrania, Germany, 2015), the explosive single “Boom! Dynamite!” (Bachelor Records, Austria, 2016), the thrilling single “Hoodoo Hop”, a split with Powersolo (Sounds of Subterrania, Germany, 2017), a shak- ing live album “Alive from Tambourine Studios” (Chaputa Records, Portugal, 2017), and the brilliant second album, “We Are The Courettes” (Sounds of Subterrania, Germany, 2018), The Courettes have been critically acclaimed by the main European rock magazines:

“The real sound of now busting through my door, new songs that keep kick- ing the history forward. I can’t imagine my turntable without The Courettes” David Fricke (Rolling Stone, USA)

“The dynamite just keeps on coming!”
Lindsay Hutton (The Next Big Thing, UK)

“Your new favourite band once you ́ve heard them!”
Marc Mcstea (Louder Than War, UK)

“Unbelievably good songs, top tunes. The COURETTES get along completely without covers and have found their own distinctive sound. Charming, twist- ing and always danceable.”
By Gereon Helmer (Ox Magazine, Germany)

“Crooked girl group love songs fed on a diet of bathtub amphetamines”
Henry Hutton (Shindig!, UK)

“Like amped-up Kinks meets The Sonics in a dark alley”
Lenny Helsing (Bananas Magazine, USA/UK)

“The Courettes full-bore attack would do any festival proud”
Kieron Tyler (Mojo, UK)

“The coolest couple of the Reeperbahn Festival”
(The Music Minutes, Germany)

“‘60s-style garage band that has the look, the vintage gear, raw production, and actually play with pure re and intensity. Most importantly, they have SONGS”
(Mojo Workout)

Flavia Couri (Vox, Guitar) and Martin Couri (Drums, Vox) have played at festivals like Euro- sonic (Holland), Reeperbahn and Garageville (Germany), Azkena Rock Festival (Spain), Roots & Roses (Belgium), Bukta (Norway), Cosmic Trip (France), Franklin Fest (UK), Gutter Island, SPOT, Distortion and Copenhagen Psych Fest (Denmark) and also toured in Sweden, Finland, Austria, Italy, Portugal and Brazil and shared the stage with artists like The Sonics, The Pretty Things, Holly Golightly, The Bellrays, Jon Spencer, B52 ́s, Stray Cats, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, Gang of Four, Weezer, Franz Ferdinand and many others.

Stay tuned for more jungle wildness & loud as hell Scandinavian rock n’ roll!

Richard Dawson + Tapsew

"On his dense but meticulously rendered new album, the British folk singer uses grander pop arrangements to wade into the barbarism of modern life." Pitchfork

A singular voice, part savant-genius, part court jester, his music echoing with voices past, present and future.

TAPSEW

A high drama duet of sewing machine and tap dance. Scissors on thread; needle through cotton; metal via body on floor. The sounds of the machine and tones of the floor played out in tap, creating pace, tempo and rhythm in repetition and unification.

......characteristics of repetition, beats and rhythms...... mechanical sounds and laboured inner workings of the sewing machine...... human-made sounds of metal taps on wood.......the possibilities of each 'instrument'..........the subtle and delicate pluck of cotton through the feeder........ the unification of motion...... human and machine........

"Tap/Sew brought together the escapism of showbiz with the repetitive labour of industry as Eliza Lomas tapped the ballroom floor to the hum and pace of a sewing machine manually operated by Sam Francis." Vicky Smith

Super Marine + Special Guests

Doors 7pm // £5 advance/more on the door

Super Marine bring there slick style of guitar orientated indie rock to the UK music scene
Their music has been described as a ‘super charged power pop-rock anthems, laced with glistening riffs, singalong refrains, energetic percussion and arms aloft choruses.

With two singles already released in 2019 which have been well received and supported by BBC Wales and sell out shows around South Wales plus being a finalist for BEST BAND in the Cardiff music awards.
They are certainly a band to keep an eye on.

Sŵn Festival had this to say:

'Still at the mischievously teasing stage of their career, Super Marine may only have a few snippets of songs online, but even looking through that tiny keyhole you can spy what might be the next South Wales rock band to blow up massively.’

With a tour in April with dates in London, Bristol, Cardiff, Newport & Swansea and a EP to be released later in the year 2020 is looking to be a busy one.

Support from Motel Thieves, The Dirty Flamingos & Taxi Rank.
