The Wombats announce 2019 tour dates
They'll be touring across the UK in January.
The Wombats have announced headline UK dates for early 2019, taking to the biggest venues the band have ever headlined.
With the announcement arriving ahead of their main stage appearance at Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend, The Wombats will kick off their headline run in Glasgow on the 25 January 2019, running through to a huge show at London’s SSE Arena Wembley on the 1 February 2019.
The Wombats released their fourth studio album, Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life, at the start of 2018, including singles Lemon To A Knife Fight and Turn. The latter was revealed as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, before being picked up across the airwaves.
They went on to sell out their UK and European tour, including a headline show at London’s Alexandra Palace, leading NME to declare them “officially massive”.
