Portuguese punk rock duo BALEIA BALEIA BALEIA play Whelans for their first Irish tour with support from Mark and Luke + Grenade Sports

BALEIA BALEIA BALEIA has always been active in the underground panorama. The performance is charged with energy and visceral poetry, culminating often in moments of harmony and catharsis with the audience. Driven in the DIY spirit, the motto is simple: do it your way and take your time and reality will be absurd enough to serve as inspiration.

Mark and Luke is a 3 piece math/emo band from Dublin. Heavily influenced by Bob Dylan.

Grenade Sports blends punk, noise rock and post hardcore into something that is uniquely Grenade Sports. The band is comprised of songwriters Daniel Clarke and Jordan Mulvaney; the duo crafts music that ranges from stripped-back storytelling, echoing the poetic depths of "American Football" and "Interpol" to the soaring, full-bodied energy of "Viagra Boys" and "Title Fight"
