FitkinWall: Harpland
Saturday 30 November, 8pm, Sherling Studio
FitkinWall follow threads of migration, loss and longing in their new show, inspired by the stories of the Highland Clearances. Dark, fragmented folk moods transform into soaring fast-paced music on a stage lit by a specially commissioned installation by light artist Peter Freeman.
The Bon Jovi Experience
Thursday 20 February, 7.30pm, Concert Hall
Celebrating 30 years on the road, The Bon Jovi Experience is back with a brand-new production featuring smash hits such as Livin’ On a Prayer, Always, It’s My Life, You Give Love a Bad Name, Bad Medicine and many more. The only show to be endorsed by Jon Bon Jovi himself.
Exhibition On Screen: Dawn of Impressionism: Paris, 1874 (cert TBC)
Tuesday 18 March, 7.30pm, Cinema
The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history, but to begin with they were scorned outsiders. In 1874, everything changed. The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion told not by historians and curators, but in the words of the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874.
Rob Auton: The Eyes Open and Shut Show
Wednesday 26 March, 8pm, Sherling Studio
Award winning writer, comedian and actor Rob Auton returns to Lighthouse with his latest show in which he explores what he could do to himself and others with language when eyes are open and shut.
Gemma and the Driver
Wednesday 26 April, 8pm, Sherling Studio
If 60s Brigitte Bardot and 90s Liam Gallagher collaborated with Wes Anderson you’d probably get something like Gemma and the Driver. At first glance, the themes of their new album, Juge, Jury, Bourreau (Judge, Jury, Executioner), seem bleak, yet the songs are more sunny reflections on dark times.
Exhibition On Screen: Michelangelo: Love and Death (cert TBC)
Tuesday 20 May, 7.30pm, Cinema
The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday, through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made.
The Smyths
Saturday 19 July, 7.30pm, Concert Hall
Acclaimed by guitarist Johnny Marr and producer Stephen Street, for more than 20 years, The Smyths have brought the music of The Smiths back to life, imagining what the band would sound like today after more than 40 years of playing the songs to several generations of fans.
