Day We Ran

Day We Ran bring their atmospheric alternative rock to Rough Trade Nottingham on 5 September 2026. The band writes with guitars in tension, three-part vocal harmonies and melodies shaped like short narratives, building songs that feel cinematic yet stay lean and direct. This UK return is built around their debut EP ‘Naked At Your Door’, with a set that folds its title track into earlier material, including the first attention-grabber ‘Foaming’.

Fresh from supporting The Kooks on a UK arena run and joining Sam Fender in Australia, Day We Ran arrive with a live sound sharpened on big stages but still intimate in detail. Shimmering and wiry guitars ride a tight rhythm section, choruses open up without drifting, and the lyrics lean into introspection without slowing the pace. The show moves on dynamics and atmosphere rather than flash, giving space to the arrangements while keeping the energy close, as the band sketches its songs with a clear, direct edge at Rough Trade Nottingham.
