MAC’s one-day music festival, Ryland Caravan, rolls into the Outdoor Theatre for the third year with a brilliant line-up of indie legends. Co-headlining this year are shoegaze icon Miki Berenyi Trio (Lush), UK’s new hottest band The Tubs and indie fan favourite Stuart Murdoch (Belle and Sebastian). Hosted by Birmingham’s favourite alternative cowboys Independent Country.
Miki Berenyi Trio offer a richly layered mix of dream pop and shoegaze, fronted by Miki’s instantly recognisable vocals. “A barrage of gorgeous hooks” . Miki Berenyi Trio are Miki Berenyi on vocals/guitar (Lush), Kevin ‘Moose’ McKillop on guitar (Moose) and Oliver Cherer (Gilroy Mere, Aircooled). MB3 was originally formed to promote Miki’s Sunday Times Books of the Year memoir – Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success (2022) – accompanying her live book events with Lush covers. But touring in the UK, Europe and US throughout 2024 and 2025 has built momentum. They offer a richly layered mix of dream pop and shoegaze, fronted by Miki’s instantly recognisable vocals. “A barrage of gorgeous hooks”
The raucously melodic Tubs are “Your new favourite band” (Mojo) and “The Best British Indie-Pop in a generation” (The Guardian). Catch them while you can!
Stuart Murdoch, lead vocalist, songwriter, and founding member of the legendary indie band Belle and Sebastian is joining us for a rare acoustic set plus Q&A, Stuart will also be reading from new novel Nobody’s Empire’. More acts to be announced…
