If I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>

Portugal. The Man<\/strong>
Dublin, 23 February<\/em>; Glasgow, 24 February<\/em>; Manchester, 25 February<\/em>; London, 26 February<\/em>
After scoring an unexpected hit with Feel It Still in 2017, a decade into their career, the Portland-based rockers, led by John Gourley, have continued to chart their own course, releasing their 10th album, Shish, last November. Heavier than their previous efforts, songs such as Denali and Angoon should take on a new life on stage. Michael Cragg<\/em><\/p>\n

Whitney<\/strong>
Dublin, 21 February; Manchester, 22 February; Glasgow, 24 February; Bristol, 26 February; London, 27 February<\/em>
Formed out of the ashes of US rock band and 2010s critical darlings Smith Westerns, across four albums Whitney, AKA Julian Ehrlich and Max Kakacek, have slowed the pace down, taking in fractured indie-folk and creaking chamber pop. Expect hushed reverie during these four shows. MC<\/em><\/p>\n

Tim Garland\/Geoffrey Keezer<\/strong>
<\/em>Kings Place<\/em>, London, 25 February; <\/em>Capstone theatre<\/em>, Liverpool, 26 February; <\/em>Turner Sims<\/em>, Southampton, 27 February<\/em>
Tim Garland, the multi-talented British saxophonist and composer, has worked with some superb pianists down the years \u2013 not least the late, great Chick Corea and versatile former Art<\/a> Blakey sideman Geoffrey Keezer. Their remarkable empathy is showcased on this tour, launching the pair\u2019s eloquent new duo album, Mezzo. John Fordham<\/em><\/p>\n

The Hall\u00e9 Presents: Jonny Greenwood<\/strong>
Bridgewater Hall, <\/em>Manchester, <\/em>26 February<\/em>
Classically trained, the Radiohead guitarist composes concert works and award-winning film scores and is currently a featured artist of the Hall\u00e9. He joins them here on electric bass for Greenwood\u2019s own newly revised Violin Concerto, alongside music by Witold Lutos\u0142awski and Steve Reich. Flora Wilson<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/svg><\/span>Not coasting \u2026 Mad Tracey from Margate by Tracey Emin.<\/span> Photograph: Antonia Reeve\/Tracey Emin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tracey Emin<\/strong>
Tate Modern, London, <\/em>27 February<\/em> to 31 August<\/em>
Britain\u2019s most exciting artist brings her electricity to Tate Modern in what could be an era-defining show. Emin, who started as a punk printmaker and painter with a love of northern expressionism, became one of the most provocative conceptualists of the 1990s \u2026 then turned back to painting. This will be mighty.<\/p>\n

Jamie Mills<\/strong>
Anima Mundi, St Ives, to 22 March<\/em>
This exhibition is called A Firework for Vincent and its homage to Van Gogh proves Emin isn\u2019t the only artist revisiting expressionism. Found materials from Cornwall\u2019s fields and beaches feature alongside abstract wall works and complex, multilayered sculptures with echoes of Rauschenberg and Kiefer. Something to ponder over a pasty.<\/p>\n

Arthur Melville<\/strong>
Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh, to 21 June<\/em>
This brilliant watercolourist was one of the most fascinating \u201cOrientalist\u201d artists of late 19th- and early 20th-century Britain. Melville travelled widely in Egypt, Iran, Syria and what is now Pakistan, and his art captures everyday life in cafes and squares in sun-blistered cities. He brought intense new colour to Scottish art.<\/p>\n

Delaine Le Bas<\/strong>
Whitworth, Manchester, to 31 May<\/em>
The spirits of folklore and countryside ritual return with a vengeance as Le Bas brings her masks and murals into dialogue with artists in the Whitworth collection including William Blake and the apocalyptic John Martin. At the centre of the show is a work she created for the Glastonbury festival. Jonathan Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

Aisling Bea <\/strong>
<\/em>27 February<\/em> to 1 May; tour starts London<\/em>
Despite being a long-term fixture in our comedy firmament (see: regular panel show appearances and excellent Channel 4 series This Way Up), Bea has never actually taken her standup on tour \u2013 until now. The 41-year-old\u2019s maiden jaunt, Older Than Jesus, sees her discuss youth, age, motherhood and the concept of home. Rachel Aroesti<\/em><\/p>\n

This Body festival<\/strong>
The Mount Without, Bristol, <\/em>25 February<\/em> to 8 March<\/em>
A new dance festival masterminded by dance company Impermanence and held at their amazing converted-church venue. There\u2019ll be films, performances, cabaret, club nights and workshops, including Karla Shacklock\u2019s Niplash weekender, where the dance-theatre artist and activist explores the politics of feeding babies with raw honesty and a sense of humour. Lyndsey Winship<\/em><\/p>\n

Broken Glass<\/strong>
Young Vic, London, to 18 April<\/em>
Director Jordan Fein \u2013 who always injects his productions with explosive energy and intent \u2013 tackles Arthur Miller\u2019s arresting play. It\u2019s set in Brooklyn in 1938, where a woman suddenly becomes paralysed as fascism surges in Germany. Should be electric. Miriam Gillinson<\/em><\/p>\n

The Memory of Water<\/strong>
Everyman theatre, Liverpool, <\/em>25 February<\/em> to 14 March<\/em>
This north-western co-production marks the 30th anniversary of Shelagh Stephenson\u2019s Olivier award-winning comedy. Set in 1996, it sees three sisters return to their northern childhood home for their mother\u2019s funeral and is suffused with laughter, slippery memories and lashings of whisky. MG<\/em><\/p>\n

AI Confidential With Hannah Fry<\/strong>
BBC Two\/iPlayer, <\/em>21 February<\/em>, 9pm<\/em>
Billed as a \u201creal-life Black Mirror\u201d, this documentary series sees the corporation\u2019s favourite science bod investigate the most mind-bending examples of technology\u2019s impact on our bodies and minds, from chatbot romances to lives upended by the decisions of artificial intelligence models.<\/p>\n

Dirty Business<\/strong>
Channel 4, <\/em>21 February<\/em>, 9pm<\/em>
If you thought ripped-from-the-headlines social justice dramas (see: Mr Bates, Toxic Town) were becoming slightly less ubiquitous, fear not: this new series stars Jason Watkins and David Thewlis as Oxfordshire neighbours who notice dying fish in their local river \u2013 and soon reveal a horrific national scandal.<\/p>\n

Scrubs<\/strong>
Disney+, <\/em>26 February<\/em>
Pretend the last 15 years never happened with this full-cast revival of the charmingly quirky 00s medical comedy. That\u2019s right: you can now dive back into the arms of your old goofy doctor pals \u2013 JD, Turk and Elliot \u2013 plus<\/em> the iconically irascible Dr Cox and soothingly wise nurse Carla.<\/p>\n

Vanished<\/strong>
Prime Video, <\/em>27 February<\/em>
The Big Bang Theory\u2019s Kaley Cuoco stars as a woman whose luxury escape becomes the holiday from hell after her boyfriend (Sam Claflin) goes missing on a train in this glossy, trashy, France-set thriller. RA<\/em><\/p>\n

Resident Evil Requiem<\/strong>
PC, PS5, Switch 2, Xbox; out <\/em>27 February<\/em>
It really is a great time for legacy horror games at the moment: Silent Hill has had a full revival; and Resident Evil is as vitally scary as it\u2019s ever been. This new instalment stars the returning Leon Kennedy alongside a new character, FBI analyst Grace, in the remains of Raccoon City.<\/p>\n

PC, smartphones; out <\/em>25 February<\/em>

Peaches \u2013 No Lube So Rude<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
A cursory glance at the tracklisting for Canadian dance-punk maverick Peaches\u2019 seventh album confirms the fact she\u2019s not exactly mellowed in the decade since her last opus. Hanging Titties and Not in Your Mouth None of Your Business rub sweaty shoulders with clattering lead single, Fuck Your Face.<\/p>\n

Hilary Duff \u2013 Luck \u2026 Or Something<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
Following a sold-out teaser tour, the teenage Disney star turned 00s pop idol releases her first album in more than a decade. Co-produced by her husband, Matthew Koma (Zedd, Shania Twain), songs such as Mature pair fizzing guitar-pop with more reflective lyrics interrogating Duff\u2019s early years in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Mumford & Sons \u2013 Prizefighter <\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
It feels a bit too on-the-nose for the waistcoat-botherers and professional folk-rockers to have a track on this sixth album called The Banjo Song. But subtlety was never their strong point, and like most of their oeuvre it plods along nicely, with arena-ready choruses and dusty barroom bonhomie.<\/p>\n

Leigh-Anne \u2013 My Ego Told Me To<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
After a few one-off singles and a label switch, erstwhile Little Mixer Leigh-Anne releases her debut solo album. Fusing elements of reggae, dancehall and pop, songs such as the Masters at Work-sampling Been a Minute and the hot and heavy Burning Up prioritise personality over people\u2011pleasing.

Creation Myth<\/strong>
Podcast<\/em>
A moving and deeply personal series from podcaster Helena de Groot who explores her decision to not have children and its effect on her current sense of purpose in life as a woman in her 40s.<\/p>\n

David Bennett<\/strong>
YouTube<\/em>
Songwriter David Bennett\u2019s video essays make music theory accessible and surprisingly entertaining thanks to his incisive analysis of famous songs. Highlights include a miniseries on the Beatles and the pervasiveness of the \u201cgospel climb\u201d chord progression.<\/p>\n

Weathered: Earth\u2019s Extremes
<\/strong>PBS America, <\/em>23 February, <\/em>1.10am<\/em>
