In the summer of 1995, British pop culture hit fever pitch as two musical giants, Blur and Oasis, collided in what became the most notorious chart face-off of the decade. Starring Mathew Horne and directed by Matthew Dunster and co-produced by Melting Pot and Birmingham Rep, The Battle is a new comedy by author John Niven based on that explosive chart battle. Following its premiere in Birmingham, the play hits the road on tour across the UK in 2026.

The spirit of The Dubliners lives on in this exhilarating show celebrating their music and legacy as Ireland's favorite sons. Beginning with their 1962 formation at the iconic O'Donoghues Pub and exploring their subsequent 50-year career, a talented cast of singers and musicians bring the story of Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Ciaran Bourke, and Jim McCann to life with joy and revelry.

Oi Oi then - Look who's back and heading out on a brand new tour for 2026 - it's only The Pub Landlord himself!

One of the most recognisable comics in the country, Murray has been honing his hilarious alter-ego since 1994. Don't miss the 'people's man of the people' as he serves up his unique observations on the country and offers a balm in the form of ancient pub wisdom.
