Dan Whitlam, a British artist celebrated for his distinctive blend of spoken word, rap, and emotionally charged songwriting, brings his autumn 2026 tour to Lido Berlin. Having garnered initial recognition through TikTok with his sharp linguistic sensibility and raw honesty about coming-of-age anxieties, Whitlam has established himself as one of contemporary alternative music's most compelling voices.

His career trajectory spans from viral social media moments to sell-out UK shows at venues including Camden's KOKO and London's Roundhouse, now expanding into international European and American dates. His artistry transcends typical pop narratives — songs like "Satellite," "Young Minds," and "Lights Down" showcase his ability to merge poetic language with accessible melody.

Beyond music, Whitlam uses his voice intentionally, having worked as a resident poet for Hermès and contributing to the global YSL Beauty campaign "Abuse is Not Love." His personal history of surviving knife violence informs his work, which consistently examines violence, vulnerability, and healing with unflinching honesty. Supported by artists like Fred again.. and Arlo Parks, Whitlam represents a new wave of musicians who refuse to separate personal truth from artistic expression.

Doors 19:00, Start 20:00. Tickets: €30 advance.
