 Tim Hecker | Digital is Dead - Tim Hecker/ BJ Nilsen / Oval
Dates: Thursday 02 - Saturday 04 May
Venue: Modern Art Oxford, Oxford
A festival of transportive, enveloping music featuring some of the key figures in exploratory electronic sound. Ambient, shimmering, unsettling and cinematic in equal measure, don’t miss out on a chance to experience these artists in such an intimate setting. This is music for our digital times. Read More>>
|  Hildur Guðnadóttir | Tectonics Glasgow
Dates: Saturday 11 - Sunday 12 May
Venue: City Halls, Glasgow

|  The Bad Plus | The Bad Plus
Date: Monday 13 May
Venue: RNCM, Manchester
Introducing jazz to non-jazz audiences can be a challenge but The Bad Plus immediately won me over with their Nirvana, Yes and Black Sabbath deconstructions. Playful, simmering and appealingly irreverent, their live shows merge improvisation and energetic performance. Read More>>
|  Bang on a Can | Norfolk & Norwich Festival - Bang on a Can All-Stars
Date: Wednesday 15 May
Venue: Norwich Theatre Royal, Norwich
Bang on a Can never fail to entertain with their accessible approach to new music, uniting musicianship with a driving rock dynamic, illuminating Reich’s seminal Electronic Counterpoint and melodic Sunray, in an amplified forceful performance. You might need earplugs. Read More>>
