EUROPEAN TOUR

The Wombats announce August and October 2022 UK tour dates

In support of new album 'Fix Yourself, Not the World'

Scouse-Scandinavian trio The Wombats have announced new UK & Ireland tour dates for August and October 2022.

Following the recent release of their chart-topping fifth studio album ‘Fix Yourself, Not the World’, The Wombats play fresh headline shows in Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Sheffield, Norwich, Nottingham, Birmingham and Manchester.

The octet of new concerts follow The Wombats’ previously announced April 2022, which includes a massive show at London’s The O2.

Tickets for the new shows go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 9am on Friday 25th February. Any remaining tickets for the April tour are on sale now.

Featuring the Absolute Radio playlisted anthems 'If You Ever Leave I'm Coming With You' and 'This Car Drives All By Itself’, The Wombats’ new album ‘Fix Yourself, Not the World’ was recorded from the band members’ respective homes.

With frontman Matthew “Murph” Murphy in Los Angeles, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen in Oslo and drummer Dan Haggis in London, they discussed each day’s plan via Zoom, then recorded separately, sending individual files to producers Jacknife Lee, Gabe Simon, Paul Meaney, Mark Crew and Mike Crossey to mix into the finished tracks.

Dan Haggis says of the record: “We’ve explored new genres and pushed ourselves further than ever musically. It will always stand out for us in our memories from our other albums as we recorded it across three cities during lockdown, and we weren’t all in the same room at the same time.”

The Wombats 'All the Hits!' 2022 UK tour at Guild of Students, Mountford Hall, Liverpool Saturday 23rd April 2022

WORFDS BY JANET HARDING / IMAGES WARREN MILLAR

‘The Bangers Keep Coming, We Knew They Would Do, And The Feels Keep Going Up’

It’s seems it’s always windy in Liverpool but today the sun is also shining brightly on this musical city, and even more so as we have Liverpool’s very own, the Wombats, headlining tonight. A home town gig is always a good one, and tonight promises to be extra special as it’s the last of a 3 date Liverpool leg and also the end of the UK leg of this latest tour. Things are gonna go off!

In the heart of the University District, facing the stunning Roman Catholic Cathedral (even more spectacular in the sunshine) there’s already a buzz in the air; people are eager for the lively sounds we’ve come to hear. Mountford Hall is easily accessible …a bus stop right outside the door. It has a modern, clean feel to it: a great, spacious bar area and a landscaped outdoor garden area for smoking. The staff here are amazing, very welcoming – big shout out to the stage-side security who were a great help to our photographer, Warren Millar, and myself.

So, we have one epic headliner in the Wombats , but along with that, we’ve a great billing of support acts! Vistas are a much talked about, musical storm of a band and local support comes from Natalie McCool from just down the road in Widnes. It’s looking like one hell of a night!

First Support – Natalie McCool

It’s my first encounter with Widnes based Natalie McCool . She doesn’t disappoint – real commanding stage presence from the moment she arrives up there. In black leather she gives off real cool rock vibes, real guitar driven sounds. Indie, rock, electro, a slight punk edge and even a hint of grunge in some songs. It’s a lively performance from the get go…all band members are bounding around on stage! So much energy is put into this. It’s a great sound, quite retro and reminiscent of 80s electro at times…I get Stranger Things feels through some songs. Natalie’s voice is quite powerhouse. It’s strong, unwavering, far reaching. She has great control and a good range, with a strong solid beat of keys and synth – it’s a really listenable, attention grabbing sound and a brilliant set.  Excellent start, you got it going perfectly. I certainly look forward to seeing more of Natalie McCool. For a cool, slightly different electro sound, an indie heart and a real edge to it you can’t go wrong with this.  Thank you, Natalie McCool.

Second support – Vistas

  Prentice Robertson – vocal/guitar

Dylan Rush – guitar

Jamie Law – bass

So… Scottish, vibrant, indie rock band, Vistas are next, and they positively explode into this performance. Known for thrilling, fast paced, live sets, I can assure you that’s what we’re getting …from the off!  Shimmering, glistening, fantastic guitar lines. It’s so bright and high vibrational …it’s like sunlight reflecting off ocean waves of musical sounds. The crowd are bouncing…Vistas seem to have brought a heavy following, deservedly so. This band are on fire! Passion fuelled, very charismatic, these guys ooze cool and style. Musically it’s a very tight, clean sound, it’s fresh, it’s clear…bouncing and exuberant, foot tapping, dance inducing… It’s happy making, it feels familiar, real listenable songs. The vocals are even and full, at times the Scottish accent comes through and it works brilliantly. Original, ‘must hear again’ material. The feels in here have gone up a level. It’s bouncing now…the heat is soaring, one epic, nonstop, energetic, fascinating performance! This band are great. And I will certainly be seeing them …fact… I might have a new fav band (yeah, I know…another one!)  Go see Vistas…you won’t be sorry!! Completely smashed it up and then some…wow…thanks guys!

Headline – The Wombats

Matthew Murphy – lead vocals/guitar/keys

Tord Overland Knudsen – bass/keys /backing vocals

Dan Haggis – drums/keys/backing vocals

Liverpool’s own 3 piece, indie rock band and creators of gig chaos, the Wombats, are up next. Humidity levels are soaring, the anticipation can be felt. This venue is now jam packed, full capacity, wall to wall bodies. As the lights come up the crowd goes off, the screams, applause and overall noise level just went through the roof. Beer is being thrown like never before. Opening with ‘Flip me upside down’, the flames of excitement are well and truly being fanned. It’s a really retro feel on stage with the set, very 80s, but a real gaming feel; the drum platform is like a giant Rubik’s cube and there are coloured walls of lighting as a back drop. It all coincides with the album imagery and is so effective. Released in January of this year, entitled ‘Fix yourself, not the world’, the fifth studio album from the Wombats and peaking at number one in the UK charts, it’s been very well received both by critics and fans. Of course the Wombats are well known for their original brand of indie rock genius, quirky, upbeat and danceable, witty, observational and somewhat unusual lyrics which reflect the times written.  Songs like ‘Kill the director ‘…that unforgettable and anthemic ‘Bridget Jones’ hook and ‘Moving to New York’ have become iconic.

A musical storm of vast proportions has broken inside Mountford Hall tonight.  Everyone is now bouncing, the energy is off the scale and this set is on another level. The Wombats are giving an abundance of energy, bassist Tord (Overland Krudsen) is leaping, flying kicking, jumping around that stage.  The vocal is perfection – clear, well executed…that familiar Scouse accent which lends itself to this musical genre so perfectly.  Matthew’s (Murphy’s) is a steady, low vocal, but loud – it carries, it reaches out and grabs our attention…shouted parts and the counting down sections, which the crowd enthusiastically join in with. As a band the musicianship is excellent – concise, clear, crisp. It’s fizzing sounds, a real vibrancy, rich textures and superbly sing along. Of course the obvious fan favourites and crowd pleasers take us up and up even further – that already mentioned hook from ‘Kill the Director’ creates a tidal wave of bouncing bodies in a stormy, musical moshpit. Arms raised, hands in the air… everyone in the house is chanting back “This is no Bridget Jones, this is no Bridget Bridget’…what an immense energy? It’s amazing to be a part of, it’s wild…a guy just asked us had we seen his shoe.  I can confirm – shoes were lost at this gig!  I think that alone conveys the madness on an epic scale going on in here tonight. But that’s the power of music, good music, anthemic tunes and a bloody good live band…you honestly can’t beat it!

The bangers keep coming, we knew they would do, and the feels keep going up. It’s been one epic, brimming full of content set…we’ve had an appearance onstage from ‘Wombat’, playing the trumpet…only to be expected as a true staple and much loved tradition at the Wombats’ live sets.

Ending on the biggest high, with a shower of multicoloured foil confetti, this band managed to go out with as big a bang as they began this set. It’s been a great night, the energy, feels and passion have been unwavering – banging tunes, every one as good as each other. An unforgettable and genuine performance, great interaction and a hungry crowd!  Truly you smashed this homecoming gig and then some. The zany brand of music, magic and mayhem this band creates is something very special and well worth seeing. A gig I’ll never forget, excellent work! Thank you, the outstanding Wombats.

The Wombats add new dates to their 2022 arena tour

It was already shaping up to be a busy year for the chart-topping three-piece, and now they have announced a bunch more live shows. 

Following the release of their fifth studio album, Fix Yourself, Not The World, in January, which became their debut number one album, The Wombats are heading out on a UK arena tour in April, and fans will be delighted that they have now added eight more dates in August and October. 

With the band -15 years into their career - pulling in bigger audiences than ever before, the new dates will see the trio play headline shows in Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Sheffield, Norwich, Nottingham, Birmingham and Manchester. These dates supplement their previously-announced April visits to Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Scarborough, and a landmark show at London’s The O2. 

As well as some of their classic tunes (the tour is called All The Hits, after all!), the band will surely also play some songs from their new record at these upcoming gigs. Speaking about their number one LP, Drummer Dan Haggis said: “We’re so excited for people to hear this new album! We’ve explored new genres and pushed ourselves further than ever musically. It will always stand out for us in our memories from our other albums as we recorded it across three cities during lockdown, and we weren’t all in the same room at the same time!” 

Fans who attend one of these upcoming gigs can certainly expect a different experience to those who saw The Wombats’ first ever live show, back in the day. 

When the band joined The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky in December, vocalist Matt Murphy told Chris: “Our first gig was in a place called Hannah’s Bar in Liverpool, and it was £10-all-you-can-drink, and we all wore Jester’s hats, and [bassist] Tord was livid about it. I’d say there’s a big difference between that and where we are now!”

If you want to catch them headlining their own UK tour in the real world, then you can do so at the following venues. The newly-announced dates are in bold.
