Saturday, April 11, 2026 - Academy 3, Manchester

The Mercians launch their April–May 2026 UK headline run at Academy 3 in Manchester on 11 April. The show focuses squarely on the band, drawing on material from their album "The Complete Works" alongside singles such as "I don't mind" and "Polaroid". With no additional artists billed, this opening night is built around a full-length performance from The Mercians, setting the tone for the dates that follow at Rescue Rooms, O2 Institute 2, Thekla and Omeara. It is a chance to hear how their recorded catalogue translates in a concentrated live setting at Academy 3.
