ROMEO ECHO DELTA @ FACT / via Radio Merseyside, 10pm - 11pm
In 1938, then enfant terrible Orson Welles broadcast H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds in the style of a news bulletin, and drove a nation to panic, believing they were listening to a genuine piece of reportage. 50 or so years on, the Abandon Normal Devices festival follows in that fine tradition of hoax radio with their transmission on Radio Merseyside of Romeo Echo Delta. An experiment in peoples' suspension of disbelief, and our fascination with the red planet, it also aims to exploit the reliance of modern day rolling news on so-called 'citizen journalism'.

British Sea Power @ The Masque, £12.50 Doors 7pm
Famed for their live performances, Brighton-based six-piece British Sea Power offer up their brand of soaring indie in the dingy confines of The Masque venue. Their fifth studio record, Valhalla Dancehall was released earlier this year to largely rave reviews, aiming to bridge the gap between the bands' quirky sensibilities and their oft-threatened cross-over potential.

The Ladykillers @ Liverpool Playhouse
A stella cast has been assembled for a new adaptation of classic Ealing comedy The Ladykillers. Written by Graham Linehan (Father Ted, Black Books) and starring Peter Capaldi in the role of the scheming Professor Marcus (played by Alec Guiness, and latterly Tom Hanks, in the movie versions), The Ladykillers tells the tale of how the best laid plans can go awry. Whether this production can live up to its billing remains to be seen, but really, how can it go wrong?http://www.everymanplayhouse.com/show/The_Ladykillers/577.aspx

Featuring works by Dali and Magritte alongside contemporary artists such as Anna Gaskell and Annelies Strba, it promises to satisfy those looking for the surreal and 'real'.
