Mitski

Mitski returns to Bristol for an outstore performance at Electric Bristol on 17 May 2026, marking the release of her new album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, on Dead Oceans. Over the past decade, she has shifted from chamber-like beginnings to taut indie rock and synth-shaded pop, always guided by an introspective writing style. The new songs extend that thread, circling themes of identity, distance and connection, with melodies that carry a steady tension and lyrics that cut close.

On stage, Mitski tends to draw fine lines between hush and surge, moving from spare, piano-led passages to denser electric arrangements. This album release show centers the fresh material while opening windows onto earlier chapters like Be the Cowboy, Laurel Hell or The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We. Guitars can bite then fall away, leaving space for silence; rhythms pulse without overstatement. The focus stays on songcraft and emotional clarity rather than spectacle, a close-up encounter with new work taking its first steps live at Electric Bristol, in the city, on 17 May 2026.
