THE MARY WALLOPERS to Launch Spring 2027 North American Tour
The band's new album features working-class narratives, anti-gentrification themes, and political messaging.
Irish folk rock band THE MARY WALLOPERS have announced a Spring 2027 North American headline tour, which is on sale now. The tour supports the band's new album Paddywhackery, out Friday, September 18th via BC Records.
The band – Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, Ken Mooney, Róisín Barrett, Finnian O'Connor and Catriona Gribben – kick off the tour March 4th in Philadelphia, with the run including two nights at New York's Irving Plaza and wrapping in Los Angeles at Pacific Electric on April 2. Tickets for all North American Wallopers shows are available now via marywallopers.com.
Paddywhackery follows 2023's Irish Rock'n'Roll, the first album to feature original songs written by The Mary Wallopers. The album's previous singles include 'Crowns Of England' - described by The Guardian as 'sure to have Nigel Farage spitting his bitter out'; the band's anti-gentrification anthem 'Landlord's Demise'; 'Kit Kat Club,' which tells the tale of a drinking mission that 'sent them down to Hell' and sees the writer declare their own status as a socialist; and 'The Big Mixer,' an anthem to workers who keep things running 'whatever the circumstances, whatever the weather, whatever the pay.'
The album was recorded over an intense two-week session in Liverpool with Skelly and engineer Chris Taylor.
