LIVERPOOL´S Capstone Theatre is set to become a hub for adventurous sound this autumn with an exciting double header of live electronic music performances featuring some of the UK’s most acclaimed and innovative artists.

This November, audiences will be treated to an Electronic Music Double Bill featuring Jo Johnson and Polypores, followed by a show from pioneering electronic musician Scanner, with support from The Metamorph. The events offer a rare opportunity to experience some of the most exciting names in contemporary electronic music in an intimate setting.


2 visionary artists share the stage

On Saturday, 14 November 2026, the theatre hosts an Electronic Music Double Bill showcasing 2 artists at the forefront of experimental electronic composition.

Jo Johnson brings more than 3 decades of musical exploration, having evolved from punk and techno into deeply expressive electronic minimalism. Her recent work blends improvisation, generative electronics and composed sound, earning performances at prestigious venues including London’s Purcell Room and Café OTO, alongside appearances at festivals across Europe and the United States.

Sharing the bill is Polypores, whose mesmerising live performances are built around modular synthesis, hypnotic rhythms and psychedelic textures. No 2 performances are ever the same, with each set unfolding as a unique sonic journey through constantly evolving electronic landscapes.


Electronic pioneer Scanner

On Friday, 27 November 2026, the theatre welcomes an appearance from legendary British electronic artist Robin Rimbaud, better known as Scanner.

Internationally recognised for transforming intercepted transmissions, field recordings and everyday sounds into immersive musical experiences, Scanner’s work sits at the intersection of music, technology and storytelling. Each performance is created in the moment, responding to the venue and audience to produce a completely unique concert experience.

Supporting Scanner will be The Metamorph (Gavin Brick), whose ambient synthesiser performances draw inspiration from classic science fiction soundtracks and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Brick has previously performed at venues including FACT Liverpool and Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art, and has collaborated with artists including Pete Wylie and The Mighty Wah.


A celebration of electronic creativity

With both concerts beginning at 7.30pm and tickets priced at £16.50, the series offers Liverpool audiences the chance to experience a diverse spectrum of electronic music — from analogue nostalgia and cinematic atmospheres to improvised modular synthesis and boundary-pushing sound art.

Hosted at Liverpool Hope University’s Capstone Theatre, the shows reinforce the venue’s reputation for presenting adventurous and thought-provoking performances that introduce audiences to some of the most innovative artists working in contemporary music today.
