Deftones
<\/strong>12 to 20 February; tour starts Birmingham
<\/em>Ahead of a busy festival summer, including London\u2019s Outbreak in August, the US alt-metallers pop over for an arena tour. With last year\u2019s pummelling Private Music continuing their streak of distinctly above average albums, these shows should act as the perfect warm-up. Michael Cragg<\/em><\/p>\n

Mika
<\/strong>AO Arena, Manchester, 11 February; OVO Arena, London, 12 February
<\/em>Now perhaps best known as a judge on railway station-based music competition The Piano, Mika returns to showcase his own florid pop with a arena tour in support of new album, Hyperlove. Songs such as the unabashed banger Modern Times should nestle nicely alongside hits Grace Kelly and Love Today. MC<\/em><\/p>\n

Scottish Opera: Fujikura\u2019s The\u00a0Great\u00a0Wave
<\/strong>Theatre Royal Glasgow, 12 & 14\u00a0February; touring to 21 February
<\/em>Born in Japan, composer Dai Fujikura moved to the UK as a teen. His delicately beautiful music is rooted in both cultures. In a Scottish-Japanese collaboration, Fujikura\u2019s fourth opera explores the life of artist Katsushika Hokusai. Its world premiere is conducted by Stuart Stratford and directed by Satoshi Miyagi. Flora Willson<\/em><\/p>\n

Gwen John
<\/strong>National Museum Cardiff, 7 February to 28 June
<\/em>This defiant artist braved isolation and poverty to find freedom. As a result she is one of the few early 20th-century British artists who stands as a modern great. From her adventures as Rodin\u2019s model and lover, to her discovery of religion and spirituality, she went her own way.<\/p>\n

Lucian Freud
<\/strong>National Portrait Gallery, London, 12 February to 4 May
<\/em>The harsh, beautiful truth of Lucian Freud\u2019s art relies on no tricks, no theory \u2013 just relentless looking. This exhibition follows his unsentimental observations of people through sketches and drawings on to the canvas. How much of his painting was done eye-to-eye with his subjects and how much planned beforehand?<\/p>\n

Seurat and the Sea
<\/strong>Courtauld Gallery, London, 13 February to 17 May
<\/em>Dotty delirium rules the waves in the great pointillist\u2019s eerie views of the seaside. Seurat saw something sad, sublime and scintillating in unpopulated harbours, purple rocks and most uneasily of all, northern France\u2019s Channel of Gravelines which he made an icon of alienation and emptiness. Monet through the mincer.<\/p>\n

Quentin Blake
<\/strong>The Sherborne, Sherborne, to 12 April
<\/em>There\u2019s more than one way to draw the essence of people. Where Freud was remorseless, the veteran illustrator Quentin Blake is famously whimsical \u2013 but the 100 portraits he shows here, all drawn in 2025, prove what an acute and memorable artist he is. He also shows witty fantasies of flight. Jonathan Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

Vittorio Angelone
<\/strong>Nottingham, 11 February; Manchester, 12 February; Liverpool, 13 February; touring to 18 April
<\/em>The title of the Northern Irish comedian\u2019s show gives you an idea of clever provocation you\u2019re in for: irreverently referencing the hit TV series about the Troubles, You Can\u2019t Say Nothing Any More grapples with the omert\u00e0 around the conflict. Rachel Aroesti<\/em><\/p>\n

Birmingham Royal Ballet: Don Quixote<\/strong>
Birmingham Hippodrome, 12 to 21 February, touring to 25 April
<\/em>As a 16-year-old, Carlos Acosta won the Prix de Lausanne dancing a solo from the ballet Don Quixote. Decades later he made his own sunny version of that same ballet, filled with Spanish heat and light, and now performed by the company he directs. Lyndsey Winship<\/em><\/p>\n

Shadowlands
<\/strong>Aldwych theatre, London, to 9 May
<\/em>A true story of faith and love, doubt and desire \u2013 and a life-changing romance between author CS Lewis and poet Joy Davidman. A hit when it debuted in 1989, its revival stars Hugh Bonneville and Maggie Siff. Miriam Gillinson<\/em><\/p>\n

Lark Rise to Candleford
<\/strong>Watermill theatre, Newbury, to 14 March
<\/em>Watermill theatre\u2019s ensemble of actor-musicians work their magic on the much-loved novel about a young girl who moves from the isolation of the\u00a0Cotswolds to the bustling market town of\u00a0Candleford. MG<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord of the Flies
<\/strong>iPlayer & BBC One, 8 February, 9pm
<\/em>Few stories loom larger in the national imagination than William Golding\u2019s tale of the schoolboys stranded on a desert island, so who better to helm a new version than the current king of\u00a0British TV writing, Adolescence\u2019s Jack Thorne? With a cast of young unknowns, it could well mimic his previous hit\u2019s starmaking powers, too.<\/p>\n

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast
<\/strong>Netflix, 12 February<\/em>
<\/strong>Writer Lisa McGee returns with her first post-Derry Girls project, a conspiracy caper about a trio of pals who decide to search for an estranged schoolmate after she sends a cryptic cry for help. Expect the goofy slapstick and aggy bickering that characterised McGee\u2019s beloved sitcom alongside true-crime-pastiching thrills.<\/p>\n

Small Prophets
<\/strong>iPlayer & BBC Two, 9 February, 9pm
<\/em>Magic, mystery and magnificent comic acting abound in Mackenzie Crook\u2019s new drama. Distraught by the disappearance of his partner seven years earlier, Michael (Pearce Quigley) decides to follow a spell for summoning miniature soothsaying spirits. What could possibly go wrong? Michael Palin, Paul Kaye, Sophie Willan and Jon Pointing co-star.<\/p>\n

Becoming Victoria Wood
<\/strong>U&Gold, 12 February, 9pm
<\/em>The warmth and relatability of her wickedly sharp comedy cannot be overstated, yet Victoria Wood was never an open book. In this documentary, friends including Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Maxine Peake recall the real Wood, as exclusive archive material unpacks her inner life. RA<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/svg><\/span>Cutting crew \u2026 Samurai fantasy Nioh 3.<\/span> Photograph: Team Ninja<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nioh 3
<\/strong>PC, PS5; out now
<\/em>You may not feel like the world needs yet another samurai action game, but Nioh does it differently: fighting feels super intense and consequential, and your foes are all horrible ghosts and demons. If\u00a0you remember the classic samurai series Onimusha, you\u2019ll know what\u2019s up.<\/p>\n

Mewgenics
<\/strong>PC; out 10 February
<\/em>A game about cats that is \u2013 and this is important \u2013 not at all cute<\/em>. Instead this dungeon-delver about mutating felines channels the gross-out surrealism of Ren and Stimpy. It\u2019s also up to 200 hours long, so this is in no way a game for the faint-hearted (or weak-stomached). Keza MacDonald<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Out now
<\/em>Five years after his last solo album, the full-time Jonas brother and part-time member of the Jonas Brothers returns with the reflective Sunday Best. Featuring 11 songs focusing on his recent life changes \u2013 marriage and fatherhood, basically \u2013 it\u2019s led by the muted single, Gut Punch.<\/p>\n

J Cole \u2013 The Fall Off
<\/strong>Out now
<\/em>After getting caught up in, then quickly exiting, the Kendrick Lamar\/Drake beef in 2024, Grammy-winning rapper J Cole has focused on this long-mooted seventh album. Having started working on it back in 2016, and with rumours that it\u2019s his final one, there\u2019s a lot riding on it.<\/p>\n

Beverly Glenn-Copeland \u2013 Laughter in Summer
<\/strong>Out now
<\/em>Now 82, and facing severe illness, Beverly Glenn-Copeland shows no\u00a0signs of slowing down, with\u00a0this album of new songs and reinterpretations following 2023\u2019s acclaimed The Ones Ahead and its subsequent tour. Featuring vocals from his wife, Elizabeth, it\u2019s an album full of soul and devotion. MC<\/em><\/p>\n
