The Roadmender has the nation’s dresser in play (April 26), but he’ll be sans the magic clothing wand, and instead we foresee him waving his arms around – after all, Mr Wan will be in town not in his role as the man with his finger on the fashion pulse, but the fella in charge of the tunes at the decks.
The Gok-meister will be delivering an exclusive DJ set with ‘an incredible selection of iconic house tunes’ which will bring the chills all night long.
If you want to raise the energy and cut loose on the dance floor, this is the bash for you.
Bingo Loco is back at The Roadmender (April 4) with hilarious hosts, the best in 90s and 00s music, confetti showers, dance offs, lip sync battles and prizes galore. The bash runs from 6pm to 10pm and it’s over 18s only.
Alabama 3 are using their NN show to treat fans to a live airing of their first two albums, Exile on Coldharbour and La Peste, back to back.
“We are giving brothers and sisters space to congregate and celebrate both albums, especially now Devlin Love is back to make it even more of an event,” said frontman Larry Love.
Alabama 3 were famously responsible for soundtracking The Sopranos, and if you let them, they’ll soundtrack your Saturday night (April 5) and beyond.
Porkpie (April 12) are a Scottish nine-piece ska behemoth, the undisputed kings of backbeat excellence who peddle high-octane, energy sapping performances as standard. Expect a blend of ska standards and some decent self-penned deliveries.
Incredibly, 2026 will mark the half century debut release by reggae-titans Aswad, and they are still bringing the tunes.
The decades have seen a shift in personnel and in style, with their 80s chart-topper Don’t Turn Around, famously leaning into the funk and soul genres.
Adaptable and always groove-ridden, Aswad will be in the ’fampton on April 18.
Wrapping things up at the Mender this month is Big Country (April 25), and they will be joined by The Vapors for the gig.
