Bath's Komedia venue has a whole host of exciting music acts lined-up for the spring season with some tremendous hot headline acts alongside some of the coolest up-and-coming stars around today.

And they don't get any cooler than our very own chart-topper Gabrielle Aplin on March 26.

Gabrielle rose to fame late last year when her cover of The Power of Love was used in the John Lewis Christmas advertising campaign and reached number one in the charts.

Aplin makes her debut at Komedia Bath for a home town show – as an extra date on an already sold out UK tour, ahead of the release of her debut album English Rain later this year.

The album was recorded with Mike Spencer (Rudimental, Alex Clare) in his Buckinghamshire studio over a period of six months.

She wrote or co-wrote all the new songs on the album as well as playing the majority of the instruments herself.

Following on from her second single, Please Don't Say You Love Me (which debuted at number six on the top 40 singles chart), English Rain will be preceded by a third single Panic Cord, scheduled for release on May 6.

Into April and Deaf Havana will play "An Evening With..." in celebration of the recent deluxe edition release of last year's Fools and Worthless Liars album, complete with a second disc of the entire album reworked in alternate fashion. Catch them on April 5.

On April 10 the legendary '80s pop and soul group Dexys (formerly Dexy's Midnight Runners) will be at Komedia ahead of a sold-out run of their new show One Day I'm Going To Soar in London's West End.

Expect to hear a few Dexys classics as well as One Day I'm Going to Soar in its entirety.

Adam Ant plays Komedia with his new band The Good, The Bad and The Lovely Posse on April 23.

Pop icon Adam Ant is making his eagerly-awaited comeback with his first album and single in 17 years, a world tour and a film.

The national treasure, who rose to fame as lead singer of post-punk group Adam and the Ants in the early '80s, before embarking on a hit solo career, earned ten UK top ten hits – including three number ones – and became a figurehead for the new romantic movement in the UK.

Crusties rejoice as The Levellers return to Bath on May 13.

Twenty five years in the 'business' and ten years of their own sell-out festival, Beautiful Days, are powerful proof that Brighton band Levellers are still a force to be reckoned with.

Renowned for their energetic live show, longevity has not diminished the band's ability to get everyone in a room, or field, dancing.

From Slik and The Rich Kids to Ultravox and Band Aid's Do The Know It's Christmas?, Midge Ure has produced consistently innovative and excellent pop music.

Fronting Ultravox, Midge had nine top 10 albums and sold in excess of 20 million records in the UK alone before moving on to an equally successful solo career.

Make a note of his Komedia show on May 17 in your diary.

Former Marillion front man Fish visits on May 30.

Fish's solo material has built on his already solid reputation as a singer-songwriter.

His career, spanning almost 20 years of the entertainment industry, is notable for his charismatic stage performances and uncompromising lyrics.

Other noteworthy acts coming up include Hawkwind (April 3), Johnny Winter (April 18), Dreadzone (April 19), Lau (April 21), The Staves (April 22), John Grant (May 7) and Terry Reid (May 16).
