Dan Owen
Dan Owen: Studio 2, April 11
Shrewsbury songwriting maestro Dan Owen makes a much welcomed return to Liverpool this week, in a triple header of talent down Parr Street.
With the follow up to the acclaimed Now and Then hopefully not to far away, this show with Katie Mac and Astles is the perfect way to start your week.
Palace
Palace: Buyers Club, April 11
Firm favourites round these parts, Palace head up to the Buyers Club this week having released their stunning debut album recently.
The quartet are in a rich vein of form right now and with Babeheaven and Echo Beach also on offer, this should be a blinder.
David Bowie
Holy Holy: Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, April 13
Hope street welcomes the sounds of Bowie this week, as Holy Holy head to the Philharmonic Hall for a much anticipated evening to celebrate the great man’s early work.
Featuring Woody Woodmansey and Tony Visconti, plus memebers of Heaven 17, The Blockheads and more, this is a not to be missed event for all lovers of Ziggy.
Gravves
Ohmns: EBGBS, April 14
If you like your music loud, doomed and heavy, then you may wish to head down the basement of EBGBS this week, with a trio of rock delights ready to blast you to the next dimension.
Ohmns, Hark and Gravves are sure to make this one to live long in the memory banks. One to head down early if you want to get a spec.
Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars: Echo Arena, April 15
One of the biggest stars in the world comes to the dockland arena this week, with Bruno Mars set to hit the Echo Arena.
Safe to say, this has been a sell out for an age, so if you bagged a ticket, we’ll done you.

Upcoming events to keep an eye on
Loved Ones
Loved Ones: Leaf, June 10
After what seems like an eternity, Loved Ones are back and ready to show us exactly what we’ve been missing out on.
The GIT Award winners are set to release their new album Harness on May 5, with the four piece changing their sound dramatically on their return record. The most recent eclectic sound finds the group escaping into a rich texture of soundscapes that are a far cry from the lofi splendour shown on their stunning debut.
With news of a launch show taking place on June 10 in Leaf, there will be many keen to see Loved Ones new persona in the flesh. See you at the front.
