After last year’s triumph at the Town Hall Mexico’s answer to Manchester’s arch miserablist Morrissey saunter into town again at the O2 Institute, this time paying tribute to classic Smiths album The Queen is Dead or ‘La Reina is Dead’ if you will. Seven Mexican musicians playing Morrissey songs in Spanish might not be everyone’s immediate cup of cacao, but for those willing to ditch the tribute band misconceptions and sample The Smiths reinvented by real movers and shakers of the new and underground Mexican music scene, they might find something surprisingly stirring.

Thu 3 May 7pm at the O2 Institute, 78 Digbeth, Birmingham B5 6DY £20.50 www1.ticketmaster.co.uk
