Live Nation presents Count Arthur Strong : "Somebody Up There Licks Me!"
Fresh from donkeys years on his award winning BBC Radio 4 series and the huge success of his BBC2 TV Show, Count Arthur Strong gets back to doing what he does best. This show. In 'Somebody Up There Likes Me' he'll be doing all sorts of wonderful things for you to sit there staring at as you quietly suck your Maltesers and don't get up to go to the toilet, applauding loudly at the appropriate moments. You'll laugh, cry and the other one. Here's a personal message from Arthur himself.

Since releasing three project albums in one year back in 2012, The Unthanks have been hiding away in Northumberland, quietly working away on an ambitious follow-up to 2011's Last...

Land of the Giants are a funky upbeat, highly addictive six piece band from Plymouth in Devon, UK. Their music fuses many musical styles, from rock to reggae, ska to blues, with a sub heavy helping of dub in the mix.
They are renowned for their extraordinary energy on stage, and causing non-stop all out partying on dance floors and in fields around the UK, with this reputation they are becoming a firm festival favourite.
2013 saw them grace the stages of Glastonbury, Lemonfest, Maker, Looe Music Festival, Bris Fest, and Landed in Wales plus many more. They were billed on...
Sivu is a singer-songwriter known for his tremulous quaver and was last seen supporting Nick Mulvey on tour in Exeter. Sounding like a one-man Wild Beasts, Sivu’s music captures the soaring, wide-screen quality of Arcade Fire, and the distorted, aggressive guitars of Radiohead circa-‘Creep’. Definitely one to watch this year.
He’s managed by ATC (Nick Cave, Laura Mvula), and he’s about to be signed to a major to work on an album with Alt-J’s producer Charlie Andrew, on the back of a couple of singles that occupy the polite middle ground between An Awesome Wave’s idiosyncratic indie...

King Charles is an extraordinary man. He doesn’t look like anyone you know, he doesn’t think like anyone you know and he doesn’t make music like anyone you know. How often, in these days of near fatal over saturation, days where you feel that, perhaps, there’s just nothing new out there to spark your imagination, can you say that? Glorious psychedelic folk from this highly rated indie-folk solo act.
After two years of touring his LoveBlood album, King Charles ended the 2014 festival tour season and went straight into recording his next as-yet-untitled sophomore album with what he...
