Young people plan and deliver a live gig as part of the Mercury Prize celebrations, with Nano Kino on the lineup.
Nano Kino play The Cluny on Monday 19 October, as part of the Mercury Prize Fringe 2026. It's a night put together by young people who've planned and delivered the gig themselves, so it's a bit more than just another date on a tour. The whole thing is powered by Generator, and it sits within the wider celebrations surrounding the Mercury Prize this year.
Nano Kino take the headline slot, with support from Porcelain and Split the Ticket. Having three acts on one bill means you'll get a full evening of music rather than just a single set, and the support slots give you a chance to catch a couple of other names before the main act takes over. It's a Monday night, which is a bit of a change from the usual weekend run, so if you're normally out on Fridays and Saturdays, this one falls on a weekday.

As for the practicals, the gig is at The Cluny in Newcastle upon Tyne, and doors open at 19:00. If you're planning to see all three acts, getting there closer to the start is your best bet. Tickets are available through Gigantic.
