Mitski

Mitski brings an outstore performance to Birmingham Town Hall, Birmingham, on 13 May 2026, marking the release of her new album Nothing's About to Happen to Me on Dead Oceans. The Japanese-American songwriter has shaped a body of work where themes of identity, distance and solitude run through stark ballads and lean indie rock, with pop textures surfacing when the song calls for them. For this album-release show, she folds the new material into a set that traces the arc of her catalogue, shifting from quiet confession to sharper, electric surges.

From early records like Lush and Bury Me at Makeout Creek, through Puberty 2 and Be the Cowboy, to Laurel Hell and The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, Mitski keeps her writing close and precise, letting melody carry the weight. Live, that economy turns into a performance focused on the songs themselves: voice at the centre, guitars and keys sketching the mood, dynamics pulling the room in. A chance to hear Nothing's About to Happen to Me at the moment it meets an audience, in a setting built for attention.
