Dundalk’s finest The Mary Wallopers have announced details of their third album Paddywhackery, produced by The Coral’s James Skelly and packed with their own songs; a new single and the band’s biggest headline tour to date, which include a show in 3Arena, on 10th December 2026.
Paddywhackery, which is set for release on September 18th 2026, follows up 2023’s hugely acclaimed Irish Rock’n’Roll. That album saw the band grow in confidence, writing their own songs for the first time. Paddywhackery finds them leaping forwards to create an album that sounds like it’s been made by a band with a tightness and a power that’s unparalleled in music right now.
Recorded in an intense two-week period in Liverpool with producer James Skelly and engineer Chris Taylor, Paddywhackery lets the band’s grand wildness shine through and allows their songs to flow out of the speakers with the kind of verve and potency that will make you – the listener – press play again, and again, and again.
