will play a special anniversary tour next year.

Remarkably, it’s been almost 20 years since the indie band released their debut album ‘A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation’, and The Wombats are in the mood to celebrate.

Next Spring the indie evergreens will hit the road, playing a full UK and European tour to celebrate two decades since their breakout moment.

The shows begin in Manchester on April 10th, and include nights in Glasgow, London, and Liverpool.

Speaking on the anniversary, Dan says: “When we realised our debut album was turning 20 in 2027 we decided it was only fair to throw a bit of a party to celebrate. A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation was a culmination of the first four years of life in The Wombats, it catapulted us from driving around the UK in my granny’s car and sleeping on promoters floors, all the way to touring the world. Our first album is packed full of memories – playing the Albert Hall, touring in Japan, the US, Australia (where we got to meet an actual Wombat), playing Glastonbury and so many chaotic, wonderful moments.

We’re going to play the whole album from start to finish and if this album meant something to you, we invite you to join us at a show for a little trip in the Sonic Delorean. That first album gave us the possibility and platform to go on and make loads more music (with more on the way!) so we’ll be playing a selection of tunes from all our other albums too, it’s going to be a special night to remember. Hope to see you at a show. Loads of marsupial love, the Bats (Murph, Dan and Tord).”
