Announcements
The Smyths – **SOLD OUT**
Formed in 2003 because of pure Morrissey/Marr & co. passion, The Smyths “didn’t just want to be a tribute band – we wanted to play the music of The Smiths and recreate what is was to see and hear The Smiths live”.
Katie Spencer, Iona Lane + Chris Brain
A big friend of the venue here after supporting our special Michael Chapman live-stream and performing some great support slots, Katie Spencer comes to The Crescent for a headline show as she prepares to release her second album ‘The Edge Of the Land’.
Martin Simpson & Andy Cutting
Masters of guitar & melodeon respectively, Martin Simson & Andy Cutting come together for a special show at The Crescent in May.
Slop Em Up – Single Launch Party
Slop Em Up are an exciting blast into York’s youthful DIY band scene. Formed last year at the University of York, they play a mixture of jazz, funk, indie rock, and pop. After headlining the Jazz Party back in Autumn, they return for a launch of their debut single; ‘Pizza Boy Blues’, which is out on Valentine’s.

Arun Ghosh & Yaatri
A showcase of indian influenced jazz! Arun Ghosh, pioneer of Indo-Jazz and rock fusion, returns with his band after an epic first show here a few years ago. Support comes from Leeds based Yaatri who have rapidly risen to the forefront of the Northern scene.
Dele Sosimi x Medlar
The Afrobeat Ambassador himself, longtime collaborator of Fela Kuti, Dele Sosimi returns for another electric live show! This time a special duo performance with house and disco producer Medlar on MPC and guitar, who remixed many of his recent smashers. Expect Dele’s usual energy undercut with some heavy beats. We’re collaborating with Chameleon to put on an afterparty in the front bar till 3am too!
Gaz Coombes + Piney Gir – *SOLD OUT*
For nearly two decades with Supergrass, Coombes came to embody the oddball end of British indie and Britpop. But it is through his solo work that he has found himself. With his 2015 album Matador, he presented a new musical identity: wide-screen, emotional, cinematic and full of artistic surprises. It earned him a Mercury Prize nomination.
