Mike + The Mechanics play Swansea Arena on their 2027 tour, with hits like 'The Living Years' and 'All I Need Is A Miracle'.
Mike and the Mechanics play the Swansea Building Society Arena on Tuesday 11 May 2027. It's one date in an eleven-stop tour, and for a band that's been on the road as much as they have, it's a good chance to catch them in the city.
If you're coming to them through the songs, you'll recognise the ones they're known for: 'The Living Years', 'All I Need Is A Miracle' and 'Over My Shoulder' are among the tracks they wrote back when the project first started. Mike Rutherford formed the band in 1985 as a side project to Genesis, and those early records are where the songs most people remember come from.
There was a gap between 2005 and 2010 when the band didn't play, but Rutherford brought them back with a new line-up: Andrew Roachford, Tim Howar, Luke Juby, Anthony Drennan and Gary Wallis. That's the core that's stayed together since, and they've put out three albums and played 374 shows in the years following. They released The Road in 2011, and Nic Collins joined on drums in 2023 for the Refuelled! Tour.
