Wet Wet Wet will continue their 2025 UK tour this autumn, following on from a hugely successful sold out first leg in January and February this year, which saw them perform to tens of thousands across the country.
Featuring founding member Graeme Clark, accompanied as ever by long-standing guitarist Graeme Duffin, and fronted by Kevin Simm, the band will visit 19 cities in October, kicking off the leg in their hometown of Glasgow on 10th October.
Described by The Nottingham Post as “a monumental set that had the crowd begging for more” and LeftLion as “a formidable show that hit all the right notes for their nostalgic fans”, this Wet Wet Wet tour promises a special night jampacked with hits.
The ‘Wets’ will bring to the stage their catalogue of legendary and defining hits, including the likes of ‘Sweet Little Mystery’, ‘Angel Eyes’, ‘Goodnight Girl’, ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’, ‘Sweet Surrender’, ‘Julia Says’ and of course ‘Love Is All Around’, their cover of The Troggs’ 1960s song.
The band appeared on Top of the Pops an incredible 19 times in 1994 – their 56 appearances in total on the programme also being a record for a Scottish act.
Wet Wet Wet have sold more than 15 million singles and albums to date and have featured in the UK Singles Chart and Album Chart for an incredible time period of over 500 weeks. Their albums have been certified 20x platinum in the UK alone.
Since 2018, Wet Wet Wet have been fronted by Kevin Simm (winner of ‘The Voice UK’ and former member of Liberty X) and they released their first album with Kevin, ‘The Journey’, in 2021 to massive critical acclaim. Alongside Kevin is the ever-present Graeme Clark (bass) and Graeme Duffin (guitar).
On the tour dates for 2025 Wet Wet Wet will be joined by special guest Heather Small who will be opening all the shows. Having rose to fame as the lead vocalist of the band M People, Heather is known for hits like ‘Moving on Up’ and ‘Search for the Hero.’ With a career spanning several decades, her distinct vocal style and charismatic stage presence have earned her a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.
Heather Small touring with Wet Wet Wet came about in serendipitous circumstances, as founding member Graeme Clark explains: ‘To be back playing live, in the band I love, playing the songs I love, to people I love, completely fills my heart and soul. We can’t wait to see everybody again throughout 2025 in a venue close by! We were headlining a festival in Dubai recently where we bumped into the wonderful Heather Small and we are absolutely delighted that she’s accepted our invitation to join us as special guest on all of our tour dates next year. Simply put, these shows are not to be missed!’
Speaking about the first leg of the tour, Graeme Clark says: ‘I had an amazing time, played some fantastic songs with some great musicians – get your tickets soon, they’re going to be sold out!’
On this year’s tour Kevin Simm says: ‘Our recent concerts created some fantastic memories for us all and it was an incredible experience that I will never ever forget! With Heather Small joining us as special guest on this tour it is going to be a great night of hits, energy and fun. The crowds have been amazing so far – I’m looking forward to the next leg!’
On the success of last year’s shows, Graeme Duffin says: ‘It has been such a pleasure and privilege to have the opportunity to play to such lovely appreciative audiences, and I can’t wait to do it all over again, see you soon!’
On touring with Wet Wet Wet, Heather Small says: ‘I’m so excited to join Wet Wet Wet on their extensive tour in 2025. I’m a fan of their music, so to be able to share these stages with them will be a real pleasure, it’s going to be one big party!’
