Future Yard Birkenhead

Presented by the team behind Future Yard Festival, NEAR FUTURE will be a Pop-Up Music Venue and Birkenhead’s only dedicated live music space. Initially showcasing a series of live events in Autumn 2020, NEAR FUTURE will present some of the most exciting emerging new artists from across the UK - and very special returning local icons.

Future Yard Festival proved that there is an audience for new music in Birkenhead. We want to create a place where we can present the best new artists all year round, not for just one weekend a year.

Birkenhead - and Wirral - is a place with music in its DNA, but its been too long since we’ve had a dedicated live music venue in our town. We believe that music venues are the maternity wards of creative culture. They are always the trailblazers, the first cultural flagpole when it comes to thinking about a place differently.

We believe that through utilising the power of music, we can change our town for the better, inspiring local people, creating life-changing opportunities and shaping a new music future.

Initially we’re starting with a Pop-Up Venue and a fantastic run of shows this Autumn. When it all goes well, we’ll be doing everything in our power to make it permanent. This is the Near Future. This is just the start.
