Scottish soft rock legends Wet Wet Wet have finally announced their long overdue return to our shores next year. They will kick off the tour at Perth's Crown Theatre, then will make its way to Melbourne's Palais Theatre, Sydney's State Theatre, Civic Theatre Newcastle and Wollongong's Anita's Theatre. The band will play their final AU performance at the The Star Gold Coast before they fly to New Zealand for shows at Auckland's Bruce Mason Centre and Christchurch Town Hall.
Original members Graeme Clark, Neil Mitchell and Tommy Cunningham will be performing their most iconic hits like 'Sweet Surrender', 'Goodnight Girl', 'Julia Says' and many more with their newest member, Kevin Simm. Winner of the fifth series of 'The Voice UK' in 2016 and formerly in the group Liberty X, Kevin joined Wet Wet Wet in late 2018.
"It's been a long time since we've been to Australia and New Zealand! We loved our numerous trips there in the past and can’t wait to see everyone again." - Graeme Clark
Neil Mitchell stated, "It'll have been twenty-five years since we last played there so this is a well overdue return!"
"Australia and New Zealand are incredible countries so I'm really excited to get there and play for Wet Wet Wet's 'down under' fans!" - Kevin Simm.
"We're really looking forward to revisiting all the cities we've been to before and catching up with old friends, whilst at the same time getting to see some new places and making new friends," said Tommy Cunningham of the tour.
Since the release of their first single 'Wishing I Was Lucky' in 1987, the band have grown to become one of the most successful in British pop history. To date, they have sold over 15 million singles and albums, featured in the charts for an impressive 500 weeks, and had 27 official UK Top 40 hit singles. Wet Wet Wet have played to over four million people in dozens of countries worldwide; and each tour has cemented their reputation as being one of the best live acts to come out of the UK.
