CHRISTIAN COHLE + BAND
plus support
Whelan’s Upstairs • Fri 13th November 2026
Whelan’s welcomes back Christian Cohle for the first time since 2023 as he launches his new album, Queen of Ashes.
Marking an evolution into alternative and post-wave, the new material moves into something far more raw, immediate and band-driven, ushering in a new era with a full live band accompanying him on stage. Expect a transformed frontman energy, immersive production, and a powerful live show built around the emotional intensity and cinematic scope of the new record.
Described by The Line of Best Fit as “one of Ireland’s best kept secrets,” Christian Cohle has emerged as an artist with a distinctly accomplished sound, marked by an intensely immersive and raw quality. Sitting at the intersection of music and visual art, his work carries a cinematic, brooding and melancholic flair that often turns euphoric, grounded by the strength of his vocals. For fans of The War on Drugs, LCD Soundsystem, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Future Islands and Roxy Music, his lyrics drift through dreamlike and poetic imagery, balancing emotional directness with ambiguity and inviting a deep, visceral connection.
