The Mary Wallopers Tickets

Presented by: Frontier Touring

Currently in the midst of a riotous UK tour performing songs about “f*cking and drinking and hanging landlords,” acclaimed Irish outfit The Mary Wallopers are thrilled to announce their live return to Sydney this September!

In between inducing mosh pits at Glastonbury and selling-out serious venues across the UK, US, Europe and beyond, it’s been a heady rise for the Dundalk outfit, their packed live schedule over the past two years seeing their popularity ascend sky high. Quickly establishing themselves as a live phenomenon not to be missed, the band are set to return to our shores – proudly presented by Frontier Touring. Led by brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy, The Mary Wallopers first shot to fame back in 2020, thanks to their lockdown YouTube shows, which saw the group build a makeshift pub in their home, livestreaming (often hilarious) trad sessions. Since then, and thanks to relentless gigging across the globe and the band’s irreverent, gleeful rebelliousness, the Wallopers have reached new heights… as recent profiles in in The Guardian UK and NME this month attest:

‘The Mary Wallopers have become a word-of-mouth live phenomenon. At the heart of this is their ability to move seamlessly between crackling cabaret-style banter, raucous tales of pintmen, laughter and getting laid, chaotic, Pogues-style punk velocity – limbs and spilled pints everywhere – and pin-drop silence for heartrending songs about the vicious crimes of the Catholic church, or renowned Irish Traveller singer Pecker Dunne’ – The Guardian

‘In just a few years, the group have amassed an international following with their rambunctiously spirited interpretations of the Irish songs of yesteryear, injecting a thrillingly contemporary political zeal into a songbook that was dying to be dragged into the 21st century’ – NME

The Mary Wallopers take on century old songs and new blistering originals and are truly one of a kind. The upcoming tour follows the band’s acclaimed 2024 second album Irish Rock ‘n’ Roll, and recent EP Home Boys Home.

Hearts out, arms aloft, live on stage The Mary Wallopers are full of fire and incendiary energy. Don’t miss these shows!
