Wheatus to perform full debut album at Glasgow's SWG3
Wheatus, whose debut album has sold a million copies worldwide, will come to SWG3 on November 26. The upcoming tour will see the band performing their self-titled debut album in its entirety each night, including the global hit song Teenage Dirtbag. Read more: Glasgow businesses celebrate success at World Championship Scotch Pie Awards Brendan B Brown, Wheatus frontman, said: "It feels truly strange and wonderful. "We've never had the opportunity to take this career for granted - in fact, most of it has been a desperate attempt to keep it going... thinking it would all end any day, but that's not how it turned out. "I think that's been for the best because now we're enjoying something we never thought we'd see. "The feelings of gratitude are overwhelming." Wheatus, who have shared stages with Alice Cooper, Blondie, Busted, and The 1975, and many more, have established themselves as a much-loved band with a legion of fans. The band's hit song, Teenage Dirtbag, has more than 337 million views on YouTube and was even at the centre of a TikTok trend in 2022. The song also made a surprise return to the UK Official Top 40 Singles Chart in 2023. Brendan said: "No matter what level we've been at, and it's been all over the place for us these 25 years - the English, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish audiences, in particular the smaller towns, have always been super keen. "It's as if they won't let you have a bad show." As well as performing all their debut album hits, the band will also be picking fan requests at every show for any other songs from their three-decade career.

"Which to us is infinitely more exciting to us than rehearsed set-lists could ever be.' "The entire first record is ready to go and will definitely be performed every night... but never in the same order. "We'll be doing the songs as they are shouted out by the crowd. "On the US leg of this tour, we were regularly doing over 20 songs as well as some improv acoustics - all very unpredictable." Tickets for Wheatus's 2025 UK tour are now on sale and available to be purchased from the band's official website.
