Wheatus 25th Anniversary - Playing their debut album in full including Teenage Dirtbag

Wheatus celebrates 25 years of Teenage Dirtbag with a special stop in Winnipeg: on April 8, 2026 at The Park Theatre, the New York band will play their self-titled debut album in full, start to finish. Led by singer-guitarist Brendan B. Brown, the current lineup features Matthew Milligan on bass, Brandon Ticer on keyboards, Dustyn Murphy on drums, and the vocal duo Joey Slater and Gabrielle Sterbenz.

Two decades on, Teenage Dirtbag has found a second life, sparking a global trend in 2022 and even re-entering the UK Top 40 in 2023. That surge has taken Wheatus onto bigger stages, from extensive UK and Ireland runs to festivals and arena bills alongside acts spanning pop-punk, alt-rock and classic rock.

For this anniversary tour, the band keeps things true to their live tradition: the full debut album played front to back, followed by fan requests pulled from a three-decade catalogue. Expect the crisp guitars, melodic hooks and wry storytelling that shaped their early 2000s breakout, revisited with the energy of a group that’s been road-testing these songs across continents. Winnipeg gets the album as it was meant to be heard, plus deep cuts and favorites called out from the crowd, all inside The Park Theatre.
