Mike & the Mechanics - Swansea Arena

Ageless. Fabled. Still passes its MOT.

Formed in 1985, Mike + The Mechanics have evolved over its 40+ years. Originally Mike Rutherford’s “side project” to Genesis, as a band they have released some of the most beloved songs of a generation including The Living Years, All I Need Is A Miracle and Over My Shoulder and have always been a formidable and celebrated live band...

After a hiatus from 2005 to 2010 Mike, with an insatiable appetite to perform and create music, decided to resurrect the band bringing together a completely new line-up of Andrew Roachford, Tim Howar, Luke Juby, Anthony Drennan and Gary Wallis which has largely remained the heart-beat and core of the Mechanics since.

Soon after they began playing together, the creative chemistry flowed and they released The Road in 2011 and toured for the first time. They have now played an incredible 374 shows together, have released three albums, two of them breaking into the UK top 10.
