Beyond presents:
Declan Welsh & the Decadent West
Entry Requirements: 14+ under 16s with an adult
Declan Welsh and the Decadent West are back. After time away writing their third record, the Glasgow band return this autumn with 25+ dates across the UK and Europe.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Declan Welsh; the band now features a rotating cast of friends and musicians alongside longtime bassist Ben Corlett and they have built their reputation through ferocious live performances and writing that punches as hard as it moves. Their debut album Cheaply Bought, Expensively Sold earned a Scottish Album of the Year shortlist; their second established them as an essential voice and live act. They've headlined the Barrowland Ballroom twice, topped the bill at Tenement Trail, and played the main stage at TRNSMT, alongside appearances at Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Reeperbahn. The band are delighted to reschedule dates originally due to take place in spring 2025, and their recent appearance at Scotland's Resonate conference was proof, if any were needed, that the electric live show is very much intact.
RESCHEDULED DATE - TICKETS FOR ORIGINAL DATE REMAIN VALID.
Line Up
Declan Welsh & the Decadent West
Declan Welsh is a songwriter and poet from Glasgow. With his band, The Decadent West they create music that is unapologetic, direct and with a message of humanity.
This year, Declan traveled to Palestine to witness the occupation and show solidarity with the Palestinian people. While there, he played a set at Bethlehem Live, performing new single 'No Pasaran' with an orchestra of refugee children. A group of amazing and inspiring Palestinian individuals took Declan around the west bank and in the process was tear gassed by the IDF at a protest.
'No Pasaran' is a song about standing up to fascism. The word gets chucked about a lot, but in the face of several xenophobic, far right, nationalist electoral successes in Europe and America, the time for us to stand up and be counted.
