Wet Wet Wet to perform in Tour at Oxford’s New Theatre

The tour is set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut album, Popped In Souled Out.

Wet Wet Wet will take to the stage at Oxford’s New Theatre on Tuesday, October 5.

Graeme Clark, founding member of the band, said: “When we made Popped In Souled Out, I was just a young guy.

“Forty years later, those songs have taken on a life of their own, and this tour is about celebrating where it all began without forgetting what followed.”

Released in 1987, the album reached number one in the UK and featured hit singles including Wishing I Was Lucky, Sweet Little Mystery, and Angel Eyes.

The band, now made up of Graeme Clark, guitarist Graeme Duffin, and vocalist Kevin Simm, will perform tracks from the debut album alongside other hits from their career.

Mr Simm said: “I’m really excited to be going back out on tour in 2027 and celebrating 40 years of Popped In Souled Out.

“It’s an absolute honour and a privilege as always to sing these iconic and timeless songs, and to perform them in so many venues across the UK to so many fans of the band is really a dream come true.”

The group’s 2027 tour will include two runs across the UK, in February and October, and will feature special guests on selected dates.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 17 at 10am via Ticketmaster.
