The Wonder Stuff have announced a 40th anniversary UK tour for October and December 2026 with Inspiral Carpets.
The 16-date trek opens at Newcastle O2 City Hall on Thursday 1st October and visits Manchester, Sheffield, Brighton, Bournemouth, Margate, Glasgow, Cardiff, Leeds, Leicester, Scarborough, Norwich, Lincoln, Wolverhampton and Liverpool before concluding at the 5,000-capacity London O2 Brixton Academy on Tuesday 8th December.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 27th March.
The Wonder Stuff frontman and songwriter Miles Hunt says: “When the original line-up of The Wonder Stuff first rehearsed together on 19th March 1986 – exactly forty years ago today – I wonder what our thoughts might have been if Malc Treece and I knew that we would be fortunate enough to still be playing gigs together in 40 years’ time?
“Whatever those scruffy young fellas would have thought I can tell you now, all these years later, both of us are incredibly grateful to all of the audiences that have stuck with us these past four decades. And it shall be our absolute honour to get up on stage this year and play as many of the old faves as we can to those wonderful people. We are blessed.”
Inspiral Carpets add: “We are looking forward to hitting the road later this year with our old mates The Wonder Stuff. Expect a set full of our garage pop hit singles and maybe a couple of surprises… See you down front!”
