Ashley Naylor

Upcoming Tour Dates

ash northcote

23rd July 2026
Northcote Social Club, 301 High Street, Northcote, VIC 3070

Having taken a detour in recent years from his well trodden roads ( Even, The Stems, The Church, Paul Kelly, Rockwiz, The Ronson Hangup....) Ashley Naylor unfurls his freak flag in his new festival-style classic rock leaning collective, Ashley Naylor Spaceship. Showcasing material from all his solo LP's to date, Ash digs deep into his 70's DNA for one special night, Thursday July 23rd at the NSC for a rare full band show. You will hear tracks from 'Four Track Mind', 'High Horse', both volumes of the guitar instrumental albums 'Soundtracks' and selected gems from the lauded LP from 2025 'Alexandria Sunset'. No two Spaceship set lists are ever the same and Naylor gives himself a long leash on the guitar, stretching out like it's 1973. Some choice covers from the golden era always seem to find their way into the show. Special guest band on this show will be local cult psych rock luminaries Buried Feather.

ash factory

25th July 2026

Ashley Naylor Spaceship brings the classic rock experience to Factory Floor in a rare full band show. Naylor will showcase his latest single among other selections from the acclaimed album from 2025, 'Alexandria Sunset', the title of which is a reference to neighbouring suburb Alexandria. Along with tracks from his previous solo LP's 'Four Track Mind' (2003) and 'High Horse' (2011) the band will dig into the vast catalogue of classic 70s rock covers to keep that spirit alive. Let your freak flags fly.
