James Campbell presents THE ACCIDENTAL SHOW, online every Saturday morning from 10am, 2nd October – 4th December 2021.

British electronic pioneers Underworld (Rick Smith, Karl Hyde) announce a triumphant return to North America  - their first series of shows here since selling out the Hollywood Bowl 5 years ago. This tour coincides with the 40th anniversary of Smith and Hyde meeting and setting out on one of the longest lasting creative partnerships in electronic music. 

On November 1st 2018, Underworld unleashed Another Silent Way: a piece of new music that heralded the start of the DRIFT Series. That track came accompanied by a somewhat rash promise that during Series 1, Rick and Karl would release music every Thursday for a year. 

Underworld have announced details of DRIFT Series 1, that concludes on November 1, 2019 with a collection of new material released as a box set/LP/CD/DL and on streaming services. The box set features 7 CDs, a Blu-ray and an eighty page full colour book. 

One week ahead of its official release date, Underworld premiere 'Border Country' from their upcoming album Drift Songs, out October 25, 2019. 'Border Country' is the second collaboration with friend of Underworld and DRIFT community member Ø [Phase]. It's the final part of DRIFT Episode 4 and will be available on all DSPs July 4. Lithe and restless, it edges and darts through unmapped spaces into a place where grimy nocturnal electronics are driven hard by fizzing hi hats and multiple voices ricochet in from the peripheries. 

Manchester International Festival today unveils its 2019 programme, which takes place across 18 extraordinary days (4-21 July 2019).

"What's the earliest memory you have of your father?" This is the question, among many, that sets off a process of enquiry into the state of the nation's masculinity and its concerns through the prism of fatherhood in the verbatim play Fatherland. Thrillingly staged, it muscles beyond its documentary origins to excavate beneath the surface of a typically reticent, bloke-y nonchalance with great aplomb.

London is never short of temptations, whether splashy West End shows, epic dramas or bold fringe offerings. From meaty revivals to the open-air theatres opening their doors, here are some of this month's most eye-catching openings. Don't forget to check back for BroadwayWorld reviews, interviews and features!

This bold new production, by Scott Graham, Karl Hyde and Simon Stephens, focusing on contemporary fatherhood in all its complexities and contradictions, premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre as part of Manchester International Festival.
