Wet Wet Wet announce 2027 Peterborough gig
Chart-topping pop band Wet Wet Wet will bring their newly announced celebratory tour to Peterborough’s New Theatre in 2027.
The band, best known for hits including Wishing I Was Lucky, Sweet Little Mystery, Angel Eyes and Love Is All Around, are celebrating 40 years of their iconic debut album Popped In Souled Out with 40 shows across the UK next year.
They will reach Peterborough on February 8, with tickets for the show going on sale on Friday, April 17 at 10am via Ticketmaster.
The album launched one of Britain’s most successful pop careers – it reached No.1 on the UK Albums Chart and featured a string of hit singles.
Having spent over 70 weeks on the UK albums chart, it laid the groundwork for continued success, with the band enjoying many further hit albums and singles, including the number 1’s “With A Little Help From My Friends”, “Goodnight Girl” and “Love Is All Around”, their ubiquitous cover of The Troggs’ 1960s song.
Across two extensive UK touring runs in February and October 2027, the band will perform songs from Popped In Souled Out alongside a catalogue of beloved hits spanning their remarkable career. The show will celebrate both where it all began, as well as what followed.
The band today features founding member Graeme Clark, long-standing guitarist Graeme Duffin, and lead vocalist Kevin Simm. Together, they continue to perform the songs that first made their name while introducing them to new audiences.
Special guests on the 2027 Popped In Souled Out tour spread across selected dates will be Roachford, Nick Heyward, Rebecca Ferguson, Heather Small, Johnny Hates Jazz, The Christians and The South. Getting by with a little help from their friends indeed!
Graeme Clark 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. It’ll feel like stepping back into those original PISO shoes - only now with a lifetime of experience and with an audience who’ve been with us through every twist and turn.”
Kevin 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.”
Graeme Duffin added: “I’d have been gobsmacked if anyone had told me 40 years ago that the tracks on Popped In Souled Out would still be loved by so many and that I’d still be performing them with the band after all that time. These shows are going to be a blast, and I know that fans are going to enjoy the shows just as much as us when we hit the road again next year.”
