About us
Live music and theatre is coming to Plymouth City Centre’s vibrant new performance space, the Amphitheatre, this summer.
From April to September, the second Saturday of every month will come alive with free open-air music concerts, showcasing a diverse mix of talented local artists right in the heart of the city centre.
Upcoming Performances
Saturday 8 August: Town of Cats with support from Iris Lee - sponsored by Moxy Hotel
Energetic nine piece festival favourites, Town of Cats bring their love of afrobeat, latin grooves, big dirty riffs, trashy 80’s pop, half remembered musicals and entirely hallucinated toilet poetry to the stage. Humorous, dark and introspective tales delivered with a blasting brass section and electrifying synth solos, Town of Cats deliver a whirlwind performance that’s infectiously fun, gets audiences to their feet and keeps them dancing. With headline sets at Glastonbury’s Croissant Neuf, Shambala and Boomtown under their belt, cementing their reputation as one of the safest pair of between eighteen to twenty hands on the circuit.
The event includes a 30 minute percussion drumming workshop from Shumba Arts.
Iris Lee curates and creates music for those who feel deeply and often feel ‘too much’. Her music is rooted in her experiences of girlhood and transition into womanhood with themes of love, friendship and intimacy.
Her work has been compared to artists like Kate Bush, The Last Dinner Party and Mazzy Star. Daniel Pascoe, BBC Radio Devon presenter and host of BBC Introducing South West, described her first single ‘Modern Men’ as an ‘unreal introduction’ to the industry.
Saturday 12 September: SunDogs with support fom Badcore Horns and Ruby Thomas
A true independent force of the South West music scene, Andy Quick is known for dynamic live performances, sharp songwriting and a sound that refuses to be boxed in. So it's no wonder music lovers are getting excited about his new project Sundogs.
With anthemic riffs, mighty choruses, big female vocals and a sun drenched sound this is a killer live show from a proper festival band.
Badcore Horns are trumpet, bari sax, drums and an MC making obnoxious drum’n’brass. They sound like The Prodigy getting into a bar fight with a marching band!
Influenced by New Orleans brass ensembles and modern electronic styles, they shred anything from hiphop and gypsy jazz to drum‘n’bass and dubstep. Suitable for big heavy stage shows with all the shiny gizmos or lightweight walk rounds and supports like popup audio ninjas, Badcore are guaranteed to bring the noise.
Ruby Thomas is a singer, guitarist and songwriter at City College Plymouth. She has always been a keen singer and has been playing guitar for around 18 months. Her favourite styles of music range from Stevie Wonder to Taylor Swift but she mostly takes influence from country, pop and singer-songwriters such as Lizzy McAlpine and Emily Ann Roberts.
