Way Dynamic
Way Dynamic, the solo project of Melbourne’s Dylan Young, brings his playful, understated songcraft to Union Stage on September 18, 2026, with Star Moles opening the night. The show lands around the international release of *Massive Shoe*, Young’s third album, which the page describes as minimalist folk-pop, art rock, and baroque pop, produced and largely performed by Young himself. Young is also a member of Melbourne’s Cool Sounds and Good Morning, and has played drums with Snowy Band and Kankawa Nagarra, giving the set a deep indie pedigree.
The page emphasizes the range of Young’s music, which moves easily from cruisy trips through hell to earnest laments about miscommunication, and notes the acclaim it has drawn from artists like Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield, who called “Miffed It” her favorite song in a very long time, and Elton John, who said he could not stop listening to “Ibiza.” Both Crutchfield and MJ Lenderman have taken Way Dynamic on tour, underscoring the project’s contemporary resonance. This is a free show at the waterfront venue, offering a chance to hear new material from a songwriter with an international following.
