Manchester’s own prog-pop group Dutch Uncles return in 2017 with new album Red Balloon – the follow-up to 2015’s acclaimed O Shudder. For their hometown launch show, the quartet have chosen Oxford Road’s Dancehouse theatre – an under-used gem of a venue that offers plenty of creative scope.

With Dutch Uncles’ music crammed full of ideas and twists, it looks to be an ingenious pairing.
