The Wallflowers take the stage at Amager Bio in 2026 with a songbook that has left a clear mark on modern American rock. At the centre is Jakob Dylan — singer-songwriter, guitarist, and the band's creative driving force — known for his distinctive voice and an uncompromising approach to the craft.
Formed in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, The Wallflowers released their debut album in 1992. Their breakthrough came with 'Bringing Down the Horse' (1996), powered by singles including '6th Avenue Heartache' and the Grammy-winning 'One Headlight' — widely regarded as one of the defining songs in alternative rock.
The band moves across roots rock, heartland rock, and alternative rock, with melodic, well-arranged music focused on interplay, dynamics, and strong choruses. Jakob Dylan's lyrics circle themes of longing, loss, hope, and identity, delivered with a sober honesty that gives the songs both weight and familiarity.
The concert features two sets: the first is a performance of 'Bringing Down the Horse' in full, marking its 30th anniversary; the second is a tribute to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, celebrating the 50th anniversary of their debut.
