Mickey 9s FREE ENTRY in Stramash, Cowgate for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe! 18+.Anybody who knows the Scottish music scene will tell you that Mickey 9s are one of the most exciting bands to see live. The irreverent four piece from Glasgow combines elements of dance, punk and disco into a blistering, genre-defying groove that sends crowds into a frenzy. They are previous Best Live Act Winners at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards.
After releasing their third album, Modern Kunst (in 2021), Mickey 9s found that their heaviest work to date was also the most popular amongst their (now cult) following. Since that album’s release, they have had six SOLD OUT in a row Glasgow gigs in The Garage, Room 2 (three times), King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, SWG3 Warehouse and Saint Luke’s, multiple tours around Scotland, played multiple festivals all across the UK and released their fourth album in May 2024, Impressive Snake. Fifth album, Uncanny Valley, was released in July 2025. Tickets are on sale now for the 10 year anniversary gig of their legendary debut album, The Party Manifesto, in the QMU on Saturday 4th October. Limited edition vinyl copies of that album will be available at the gig.
The band released standalone singles in the first half of 2023, ‘Straight White Male’, ‘Screen Time’ and an amped-up cover of Gang of Four's classic 'At Home He's a Tourist'. Six singles were released from Impressive Snake. Three at the end of 2023: ‘Impossibility’, ‘Dream’ and ‘Moments Go’. The latter was prestigiously chosen by BBC Radio Scotland to be their final Single Of The Week of 2023 on The Afternoon Show. Followed up in 2024 with the releases of ‘Waves of Love’, ‘Who Do You Love?’ and ‘Daedalus’.
The band were on the road throughout Winter and Spring in 2024 on their World Tour of Scotland and played Paisley, Dunfermline, Ayr, Edinburgh, Perth, Falkirk, Galashiels, Aberdeen in front of thousands of fans and finished that tour with a 500 sold out fourth album, Impressive Snake, launch party in Saint Luke’s, Glasgow on Saturday 4th May with DF Concerts and Gigs in Scotland.
That was followed by another festival season playing main stages in Scotland and England at Eden Festival, Another Fine Fest, Silverburn Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and headlining Lancaster Music Festival.
The band released six singles in 2024 from the fifth album, Uncanny Valley, ‘Song & Dance Man’, their homage to Diego ‘Maradona’, ‘Ursula’, ‘Lager Anthem’, ‘Wouldst Thou Like to Live Deliciously?’ and ‘Permo’. Single #7 from the next album, ‘Lighten Up’, was released on Friday 31st January.
Throughout the first half of 2025 the band played live in Edinburgh, Galashiels, Glasgow (Stag and Dagger Festival), Aberdeen, Glasgow (inaugural Meatopia Festival in the SWG3). Followed by another festival season playing Eden Festival, Kelburn Garden Party, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Solfest and Equinox Festival.
