Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event.To celebrate the release of the new album 'A Modern Day Distraction', Jake Bugg returns to Kingston to play at Pryzm.UK rock troubadour, Jake Bugg, returns with his sixth album A Modern Day Distraction, on RCA records. A bone-crunching Beatles-via-Nirvana guitar driven banger, ‘Zombieland’ is a rollicking ode to the many broken by the inescapable daily grind, trudging on with a stiff upper lip. “It’s fucking brutal,” he says of the people he’s known who exist in “a constant cycle of working to live”. “They’re not paid what they’re worth. People have the same routine every day, they’re at work more than they see their kids, then the government puts the retirement age up. It’s not right.” Produced by Metrophonic at Metrophonic Studios in London, Jake returns to his roots on the rock-driven A Modern Day Distraction – a record that turns up the noise while shining a light on the injustice he’s seen dealt to the family and friends he grew up with. Fiery and engaged, the record was born out of a frustration of societal inequality. Bugg found that a time had come when he just couldn’t look away. “People might say ‘What do you know?’ or ‘Just stick to music’. I’ve got a bit of money, but we all know the people this affects. I was just writing it because it was the way I felt. It pisses me off – especially in a country like ours where we have the means and funds to take care of the people suffering the most, but we choose not to.”-Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with a stage time of 8:00pmThose aged 14+ can attend unaccompanied. 8 to 13 year olds must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult (18+).

Elderbrook

at Pryzm, In The Round. In The Disco Room, 7:00pm (14+)
Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).To celebrate the release of the new album Another Touch, Elderbrook visits Kingston to play a DJ/Hybrid show at Pryzm. “Another Touch is a journey of self-discovery. It begins with someone who has lost themselves so completely they barely recognise the person in the mirror. Everything is shallow and inconsistent in their life so as to protect them from anything which might hold some true meaning.As the album unfolds so too does the story of our ‘hero’ who finds new ways to think about, and reflect on their life, and the lessons learned along the way. Another Touch centres around the loves, losses and ups and downs of life and how we think about ourselves and our place within the world.Who are we when the night ends? When everything goes quiet and it is time for us to speak what do we have to say? It’s a beautiful and reflective story of tragedy, loss and of finding yourself despite the dark.”-Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with a stage time of 8:00pmThose aged 14+ can attend unaccompanied. 8 to 13 year olds must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult (18+).

With her career streams nudging towards a quarter of a billion, sold-out tours and festival appearances at Glastonbury and Latitude; to her debut album 'Woman On The Internet' reaching the UK & Irish Top 10 Orla is ready to boldly step into this next chapter of her career.-Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with a stage time of 8:00pmThis show is 14+, under 14s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.

Two top five albums later and an outpouring of support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Apple Music, Spotify, NME, and more, the band are back with a newfound maturity to accompany their fourth studio album Smitten.While Pale Waves’ first three albums focussed on the band’s immediate present, Smitten is a lot more preoccupied with past lives – some more recent than others. Written two years after Unwanted, and after the tour that followed, Heather found herself in a headspace where she could finally breathe, and reflect, like peeling through the pages of a long-forgotten teenage diary and being surprised by what she found. “I found myself writing about not just a certain time period, but my whole life, from years ago,” she says. “When I fall in love, I fall deep, and it’s interesting to me that you can feel so fascinated and smitten with someone and then they can become a total stranger. So I feel like Smitten really summarised perfectly what I felt for others at a certain point.”
