Info
Yard Act head to London for a live show at Rough Trade East on July 19, 2026, in the wake of the release of their new album You’re Gonna Need A Little Music (Island). The Leeds quartet has carved out a distinctive place in the British post-punk wave thanks to writing that hits the mark, balancing social observation, dry humor, and spoken-sung narration that keeps the listener at arm's length while drawing them into its crosshairs. On stage, their approach takes on another dimension: taut bass lines, nervy rhythms, and a groove that bites, as James Smith delivers his everyday stories with almost theatrical precision.
This concert promises to be a snapshot of their new phase, with tracks conceived for live performance and that unmistakable way they turn satire into raw energy. A date to see Yard Act up close, in a format that leaves room for the text, for tension and for movement.
