Future Yard are excited to welcome Lime Garden for the Autumn 2026 tour. Self described as a “wonk pop” band, Lime Garden take inspiration from genres such as indie rock, disco and surf. Following the release of their second album, Maybe Not Tonight, Lime Garden have cemented their reputation as ‘ones to watch’, with critical acclaim from NME, the Independent and artists such as Johnny Mar and Hayley Williams. Their album explores pleasures and perils of partying serve as a thematic through-line, tracking the arc of a night out where unplanned adventures hold sway, fresh impulses are inhabited feverishly, and only the rush matters.
“Being bolder and not shying away from our experiences, that’s what this album sounds like to us,” says lead guitarist Leila Deeley, who forms Lime Garden alongside Chloe Howard (singer, guitar), plus Annabel Whittle (drums, production) and Tippi Morgan (bass). “It’s a real statement. Listening to it should feel like a big punch in the face!”
Maybe Not Tonight sees four young women band together to find their own conviction in unsteady circumstances, producing their most intoxicating and luminous material to date. Where their critically-acclaimed 2024 debut One More Thing bottled the live energy they built a reputation for at festivals like Glastonbury and Green Man, its follow-up expands their signature brand of “wonk-pop” upwards and outwards.”

Lime Garden
Lime Garden are a four-piece band from Brighton (UK) jumping over genre boundaries to create a sound that is uplifting yet somehow laid-back. They achieve this neat trick by harnessing catchy melodies and earworm hooks into an almost nonchalant net of lo-fi sounds, which is then sprinkled with a dry-wit to bring their world to life.
Previous singles ‘Sick & Tired’, ‘Pulp’ - which premiered via The FADER - ‘Clockwork’ and ‘Bitter’ have all been met with widespread critical acclaim which includes the likes of CLASH, The Sunday Times, Loud & Quiet, The Line Of Best Fit, online tastemaker Anthony Fantano, and more. Lime Garden have also been heavily supported by BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders in his Future Artists slot and earlier this year were endorsed by Paramore’s Hayley Williams on her special ‘Everything Is Emo’ show. They’ve also seen support from Lauren Laverne and Tom Robinson at BBC Radio 6 Music, and Apple Music 1’s Matt Wilkinson.
Lime Garden have toured with the likes of Idles, Sunflower Bean, Katy J Pearson, Yard Act and were also nominated for the prestigious ANCHOR award at the 2022 Reeperbahn festival.
