Ida Wenøe & Samantha Whates - The Continental, Preston

Ida Wenøe & Samantha Whates Double Headline

A night with Ida Wenøe and Samantha Whates is something truly rare.

The Danish and Scottish songwriters share the stage from first note to last, weaving their voices and instruments into a single, flowing performance. Rather than separate sets, they conjure a continuous story by intertwining their songs — sometimes leaving the authorship a secret — creating a seamless, unique journey.

Wenøe brings the haunting, intimate sound that has made her one of Denmark's most captivating voices, praised by BBC tastemakers and audiences across Europe. Whates, with her warm, finely drawn songs and collaborations like PicaPica (Rough Trade Records) and Waiting Rooms (Wonderfulsound), is quietly magnetic, drawing listeners into each moment. Across two immersive sets, they offer harmony, intimacy, and communion — music that feels enchanted when shared together.

Catch Ida and Samantha here at the Conti on Wednesday 15th April, 2026. Doors at 7.30pm, all-seated show.
