Way Dynamic Signs to Jagjaguwar, Announces New Tour Dates

Alongside today's signing announcement, Way Dynamic — the moniker of Dylan Young — has announced new UK and US tour dates for 2026, which will now take him to Brighton, Glasgow, Manchester, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and more cities between August and November. 

The new tour dates follow Way Dynamic's current tour, which has included two sold-out London shows as well as appearances at The Great Escape and London Calling festivals. 

Way Dynamic's busy day of news follows his inclusion in Rolling Stone AU/NZ's Future of Music 2026 series, named as one of 25 local ANZ acts tipped for the very top. 

“MJ Lenderman. Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield. Djo. Elton bloody John. All these musicians — and a hell of a lot of indie music fans in Australia and beyond — have quickly fallen in love with the throwback sound of Way Dynamic,” the publication wrote.

“Dylan Young's timeless project recalls songwriting stalwarts like Brian Wilson or Neil Young, updating classic '60s and '70s pop, folk, and soft-rock for modern audiences.”

In an exclusive interview, Way Dynamic discussed his latest album.

“'Massive Shoe', I hope, is sonically varied and explorative, but I’m particularly happy with what I feel I conveyed about where I was at in my life when writing these songs,” he said. “There’s a balance of banal specifics and broad platitudes that I hope made something that feels more universal than what I’ve done before.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Way Dynamic teased — well, kind of — what else he's got coming up this year. “Shows and recording, I think,” he said succinctly.
