DAN WHITLAM

In the organizer's words:

Dan Whitlam is coming to Germany for three shows in fall 2026. With his mixture of spoken word, rap and emotional songwriting, the British artist is one of the most exciting new voices between alternative, pop and poetry. Dan Whitlam first became known through TikTok, where he captures the attitude to life of his generation with great directness and a fine feel for language. His lyrics revolve around the uncertainties, contradictions and intimacies of growing up, striking a chord far beyond social media. Dan Whitlam has also long since made a name for himself live, inspiring audiences with performances that combine personal intimacy and great stage presence. Releases such as "Satellite" with Julia Church and songs like "Young Minds", "Lights Down" and "Quick Intimacy" have attracted additional attention. His particular strength is evident time and again: Dan Whitlam combines poetic language with catchy melodies to create songs that are reflective, accessible and emotionally charged in equal measure. Support from artists such as Fred again... and Arlo Parks underlines his growing status within the British music scene. Dan Whitlam also makes conscious use of his voice beyond music. For example, he worked with Hermès as resident poet and was part of the global YSL Beauty campaign "Abuse is Not Love", for which he developed and performed poetic texts based on real testimonials. His art is never mere staging, but always an expression of an attitude that combines personal experience with social relevance. This depth also shapes his own story. After being the victim of a knife attack as a teenager, Dan Whitlam repeatedly deals with violence, vulnerability and healing in his poetry and public work. It is this openness that gives his music a special intensity and makes him a voice that reaches far beyond classic pop narratives. Following sold-out UK shows, including concerts at renowned venues such as KOKO in Camden and his biggest headline show to date at the Roundhouse in London, Dan Whitlam also played international dates in Europe and the USA for the first time last year. What began online has long since arrived on stage. The German shows in autumn 2026 show an artist whose combination of language, emotion and presence is reaching ever larger spaces.
