Birkenhead's Future Yard shares plans for new 600-capacity venue

Merseyside music venue Future Yard has shared plans for an additional 600-capacity venue. 

Set to launch this Autumn, the new "dedicated indoor music space" will be located on the same site as Future Yard's current outdoor area on Argyle Street, Birkenhead, and will feature "best-in-class PA, lighting and A/V systems" installed by Adlib.

"Our new space will allow us to present larger, more established artists on a weekly basis while continuing to platform emerging talent," a description on Future Yard's website reads. "It will be a purpose-built, year-round performance space designed to meet the realities of modern live music production." 

The team behind Future Yard shared a series of concept photos of the space via Instagram last week (February 25), sharing that the venue also plans to establish a "brand-new studio complex featuring 12 modular spaces for artists, teaching and training programmes."

"This is everything you love about Future Yard, turned up to 11," the post continues, alongside a call for followers to help support the project via Future Yard's crowdfunder. The team are looking to raise £150,000 to help fund construction costs and establish a neighbourhood tickets scheme.
