The Wellermen at Whelan's

What to Expect

When The Wellermen released their version of Wellerman in early 2021, it sparked one of the most unexpected viral musical moments of recent years, with sea shanties briefly taking over social media and introducing traditional maritime folk singing to an entirely new audience. The Wellermen were central to that moment, and they have spent the time since building on it with a debut album and a tour that demonstrates there is real substance behind the chart success.

Their Whelan’s show on 10 July 2026 is the kind of intimate gig that their core audience has been waiting for: a small room, superb harmonies, and material from the album alongside the songs that made them famous. Whelan’s suits vocal groups well, with acoustics that work in the performers’ favour and an audience that knows what it is listening for.

The show runs from 8:00pm to approximately 10:45pm. Over 18 only with ID required.
