Biography
Teenage years may be fleeting, but it seems ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ is for life, as Wheatus’ debut single popped up yet again in 2022, making itself known in a way never seen before in the form of a TikTok trend. The “Teenage Dirtbag photos” trend has now been embraced by nearly a million people.
They continue to spend as much time as possible on the road, both for headline shows and as a support act across North America. Wheatus have also made a triumphant return to festival stages, playing high profile events like Audacy Beach Fest, and will be playing Musikfest 2023 this summer on Fri Aug 11th at 9:30pm on the Americaplatz SteelStacks stage.
To date, the eclectic rock outfit has released six studio albums, two live albums, and multiple additional singles.
