BLYTH POWER / THE METATRONS / THE LOST SQUIRRELS
2026-06-21 14:00 - 19:00
BLYTH POWER were formed in 1984 by singer and drummer Joseph Porter, formerly of Zounds and The Mob. Forty-odd years later they are still surprising audiences with their evolving blend of folk and punk rock. Joseph, Annie, Ben, Dion & Hugo are celebrating the Summer solstice by returning to their favourite Leeds venue after a two-year absence.
THE METATRONS are a delightfully fuzzy Riot-Pop guitar band from Hertfordshire. Polly is the singer, Rico is the bass player, Steve is the drummer and Simon plays the guitar. This gig is part of a wider tour to promote their fifth album “The Ever Present Now” due in June 2026, and we’re delighted to be hosting their debut at Wharf Chambers.
THE LOST SQUIRRELS are Harry, Peter, Gilbert and Finlay, West Leeds teenagers who combine catchy choruses, bouncy guitar riffs and downright bizarre subjects in a beautifully eccentric manner. This is their first time at Wharf Chambers too – although you may recognise singing drummer Peter from his other band, Indignation Meeting.

Air Drawn Dagger // Kit Major // Your Personal Vendetta
2026-07-05 19:00 - 23:00
01977Punk Promotions are proud to be able to present this outstanding line up at the Wharf Chambers. Headliners Air Drawn Dagger are a band of huge quality and who could potentially just suddenly explode and be huge. Kit Major are a Major capture ( excusing the awful pun), over from LA for a short tour; just check out how good they are….it could be big venues costing loadsa money the next time they hit the UK. Your Personal Vendetta made a huge impression at the Wharf in September 2025 for their debut gig, its great to have them back as part of this line up

Seven by Seven
2026-07-12 15:00 - 21:00
This is a special session to celebrate the Seventh anniversary of Seven by Seven!
If the weather is fine we’ll be outside in the back yard at Wharf Chambers for this one. And we’ve extended the length of the session to eight hours to fit in as many sets as possible.

As always:

Seven by Seven is a friendly open decks vinyl playing session. You can bring along and play us seven of your 7” 45rpm vinyl singles – hence Seven by Seven – or just come and listen to others play. The 7” 45rpm format is the only limitation. We don’t dictate the type of music – you can play whatever you want to, and we relish that variety!

No DJ skills are needed, and our ethos is – no pressure, no competition, no egos.

Please get there early to put your name down. We draw names out for the running order and later arrivals may be too late to be drawn. We also sometimes reduce the number of records that some people can play if we have high numbers attending – but we do try to fit in as many seven record sets as possible.

Seven by Seven is a non-commercial operation. We run our sessions purely for the joy of playing and listening to records as a shared experience.

Mini psych-fest headlined by acclaimed Brazilian band BIKE, plus Thee Lucifer Sams, The Dead Zoo & others. A real trip!
2026-08-21 19:00 - 2026-08-22 01:00
ACIDFEST LEEDS brings acclaimed Brazilian psych-rockers Bike as headliners of this mini psych fest at Wharf Chambers, featuring three bands and three solo acts that offer a diverse mix of farout sounds.
Bike have toured around the UK and the world with their unique brand of tropical psychedelia, which found influential fans such as Anton Newcombe (they’ve recorded with Anton and opened for Brian Jonestown Massacre). Always nothings less than brilliant live, BIKE are for sure one of the best psych bands in activity today.
Thee Lucifer Sams are true visionaries, refusing to put their music on platforms such as Spotify or having social media. Their mix of semi-improvised psychedelic noise draws equally from the abstraction of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Lemmy’s Hawkwind and Sonic Youth noise – with no songs just a full-on psychedelic rollercoaster of sound.
The Dead Zoo are a proudly trans led, corn fed noisy post-punk band from London, making their live debut in Leeds. Always putting on an energetic live set, they are always worth watching.
Madonovan is the best shoegaze artist you’ve never heard before, and an unique concept – a tribute to itself, covering songs written, but never released, over 30 years ago. A cathartic ode to lost youth, dreams and rock’n’roll itself.
Esa Shields is a truly one-of-a-kind artist, creating melodies and sounds the likes of which never heard before or since. It’s like Brian Wilson on Mars, tripping on acid.
Dominoes is a brilliant, solo artist who’s equal parts Ivor Cutler and Syd Barrett. Rich in melody, ideas and whimsy, you are sure to enjoy his set.
ACIDFEST also features a killer, exclusive psych playlist to keep you in the mood before and after each act, as well as trippy visuals to create an unique atmosphere.It is more than just a “gig”, but a true happening. This is what the Liverpool Psychedelic Society always offers at our events: an unique experience, something that the mainstream is unable to offer, truly grassroots and open to all.
This is not about any “scene”, we just create our own culture and everyone is welxcome to enjoy… so come and join the society!

Marm's Spotlight
2026-08-22 19:30 - 22:00
What happens when drag becomes a global phenomenon?

Rolling off the back of the Drag Race lorry, armed with nothing but a RuPeter Badge and a fading memory of the Werk Room, Marmalade wades into the territory of post show “fame”, and is left wondering…

Why did she do that? Why did she go on the show? What kind of impact does the show, one of that scale, have on local scenes and their? A show that doesn’t necessarily platform the drag she loves, and why doesn’t it? What kind of drag does she love? Does she still love her own drag? Why does she do it?

Welcome to Spotlight – a new venue designed, operated and built by Marmalade herself (it wasn’t, this is theatre), and her chance to explore these questions, pretend she has answers, and celebrate the drag and queer artists she loves.

Development stages of this show were funded by Arts Council of Wales. Directed by Elan Isaac, with written material by Priya Hall, creative support by Leo Drayton, and produced by Daniel Huw Bowen on behalf of The Queer Emporium, Marm’s Spotlight is a newly created theatre show by star of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and drag artist, Marmalade.

She has made outfits for organisations including Frân Wen and National Eisteddfod Cymru, though she is most well known for outfits made for contestants on the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise.
