Following the release of their debut Big In The Suburbs LP in March this year, which itself followed the epic precursor singles Shopping, Soak Up The Culture, Deere John, Cul-De-Sac, Big In The Suburbs, The Roundabout Racehorse and It’s Not Like This In France, WELLY continue their journey across the UK with an October tour that will see them play their biggest headline shows to date.
After the band cut their teeth at ad-hoc DIY shows across the country, WELLY booked their first full National Service Tour in 2024 and were invited to support Sports Team on several dates in November. Early 2025 saw them headline the DORK Hype List Tour and they are currently on a run of headline shows in seaside towns for, you guessed it, The Seaside Tour.
WELLY is an extraordinary character with a remarkable knack for writing whip-smart, playful, funny and terrifyingly refreshing indie pop whose first collection of said songs were released as his debut album, Big In The Suburbs. The album centres on the monochrome mundanity but also the unsung beauty of the suburbs; a collection of picture-perfect, alt-pop vignettes in which regular lives are often quietly on the brink of going berserk. For his debut album – all written and self-produced by Welly himself – this rich tableau of British life is celebrated for all its triumphs and tragedies. Here are songs about wanting more than you have, about a world in flux, about doomed romance and figuring out how to be happy where everybody knows your name (and your Mum’s).
