Any Young Mechanic (UK Tour 2026)

Any Young Mechanic play The Chapel on Monday 26 October, as part of their 2026 UK tour. They're a five-piece from Tarntanya/Adelaide, Australia, and the Nottingham date is one of several stops they're making across the country this year. Opening the night is Veduna, so there are two acts on the bill.

The band's name comes from a line in 'Hooray For Hollywood', and they've talked about how the song's jarring use in Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye inspired it. Their debut album, The Modern Shoe Is Ruining The Foot, is where you'll find the sound they're touring: they describe it as blending folk music's enduring charms with widescreen, cinematic qualities. It's that mix of the intimate and the expansive that defines the record, and it's what they'll be bringing to the stage.

Practical details: the show is at The Chapel at The Angel Microbrewery, 7 Stoney Street, in the Lace Market. Doors open at 19:00, and the night is expected to wrap up around 23:00. General admission standing is £13.75 including fees, with a face value of £12.50. One thing to keep in mind before you book: the show is over-18s only.
