Whitney – announce a headline show for The Academy, Dublin

Folk rock/Americana group Whitney return with a new single + video “Back To The Wind” and announce a headline Academy, Dublin show for Saturday, 21st February 2026 as part of their EU/UK 2026 tour.

After a decade of being roommates and bandmates, first in Smith Westerns and then in Whitney, Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek entered the studio in the Summer of 2024 to begin recording Small Talk sans-producer, with assorted pals dropping in to add parts. The result is 11 incandescent songs that delight on two levels. There are instant classic Whitney songs here, tunes that tug at the same heartfelt melodic strings they’ve always pulled, and still other moments that speak to how much room they gave themselves to evolve.
