The Mary Wallopers - Melbourne, Corner Hotel

With infectious energy and floor shaking singalongs, Irish seven-piece The Mary Wallopers are a live act to be reckoned with.

Proving themselves as one of the hottest acts to come out of Ireland, Frontier Touring are excited to announce the band have added a 2nd & final show their upcoming debut Australian tour.

Just added to Liam Gallagher’s upcoming Malta Weekend festival in September, playing dates with The Libertines in July, and with a slew of sold-out headline shows across Europe starting later this month, the joyful, anti-authoritarian rockers will now perform six huge shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth… their first shows in Australia gearing up to be unforgettable! The Wallopers’ AU visit follows the release of their hugely acclaimed second album, Irish Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Formed by multi-instrumentalist Charles Hendy, his brother Andrew (banjo), and friend Sean McKenna (guitar), the Dundalk-based outfit were on their way to success with their raucous reinterpretations of traditional ballads before the world went into lockdown in March 2020. Propelled to fame by at home livestreams, the Wallopers emerged a seven-piece – with members Seamas Hyland (accordion), Finian O’Connor (pipes/whistles), Roisin Barrett (bass), Ken Mooney (drums) – and a new album in Irish Rock ’n’ Roll… a document of a band preparing to go stratospheric.

“Moshing, Guinness and great Irish folk” reckons The Times (UK): don’t miss the incredible The Mary Wallopers when they land down under in Australia in May!
