Hide AdHaving spent a fair amount of time in their homes this year, the band turned their creative juices on to entertain fans via their Wet Wet Wet from Home sessions, rearranging original classics in videos viewed by tens of thousands.
Now itching to see their fans in person, the tour will be their second full run with singer Kevin Simm who was welcomed into the fold in 2018. Previously a member of BRIT Award winning band Liberty X, Kevin won the 2016 series of The Voice UK.
Band member Graeme Clark is looking forward to it: “Nothing comes near to playing a live gig, from travelling to the venue for the soundcheck, to getting psyched before you go on, the roar when the lights go down, doing your gig with your musical brothers, to the bow at the end of the show. When you get it right it completely re-energises you. Going out on a tour is one of the most exhilarating things you can do in life.”
Next year will also see the band release their first album with Kevin at the helm, entitled The Journey.
It is available to pre-order now.

Having Kevin as our singer now gives the band and the new album a different dynamic and an excitement that has reinvigorated Wet Wet Wet for an exciting journey ahead…”
Kevin Simm added: “I have loved being part of the band, performing with the lads and singing an incredible catalogue of songs. We have really gelled on stage and as friends off it, so it was the next natural step to write and release some new music.”
Wet Wet Wet are a musical phenomenon, having made a big impact with their music over the last four decades, becoming one of the most successful bands in British pop history.
Selling in excess of 15 million singles and albums to date, Wet Wet Wet have featured in the UK official singles and album charts for over an immense 500 weeks. With number one hits including ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ and ‘Goodnight Girl’, 1994’s ‘Love Is All Around’ was the biggest selling single of the year, when it spent 15 weeks at No1, making it the longest spell at the top for any UK artist – a record that still stands.
