The Futureheads Live.Presented by 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins Awesome Friends
Live Show at Kanteena in Lancaster Saturday 21st February 2026!
English post-punk band The Futureheads hail from Sunderland, consisting of Ross Millard, Barry Hyde, David “Jaff” Craig and Dave Hyde. The band got their name from the title of The Flaming Lips album Hit to Death in the Future Head and list the likes of Gang of Four, Devo, XTC, Wire and Fugazi as their influence.
Since emerging as part of the “angular movement” of post-punk-inspired bands from the U.K. in the early 2000s, the Futureheads have proved they have a distinctive take on that tradition. While the influence of Wire, XTC, and Gang of Four was unmistakable in their spiky guitars and concise songwriting, the intricacy of their music — which included four-part harmonies and unconventional song structures — was all their own.
The band are still going strong and have just releases a Christmas album ‘Christmas’ on Nul Records.
