Fresh from one sold out comeback UK tour, indie’s happiest heroes The Wombats are embracing their reinvigorated public demand by getting back on the road in September.
In support of their second album “The Wombats Proudly Present… This Modern Glitch”, out on April 25th, the boys will be visiting Yeovil, Birmingham, Lincoln, Sheffield, Newcastle and Manchester, amongst many others.
An exclusive fan base pre-sale commences at 9am on Wednesday April 13th from www.thewombats.co.uk/store. General Tickets then go on sale from 9am on Friday April 15th, available from the same site, as well as www.gigsandtours.com, www.artistticket.com, the 24 hour ticket hotline on 0844 811 0051 / 0871 230 0333 or from the box office numbers listed below.

In addition to the tour, The Wombats are also confirmed for over 25 festivals this summer. They’ll headline Wakestock on July 9th and Lovebox on July 15th, and will also play Rockness on June 12th and the V Festival in August (20th at Weston Park, Staffordshire and 21st at Chelmsford), amongst others.
Predicted to be even better than their dancefloor hit of a debut, “… This Modern Glitch” features the radio friendly “Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves)’ and ‘Jump Into The Fog’ as well as their next single, the darker ‘Anti-D’ which is set to be another hit when it’s released on Monday.
“For me, there has been one record, of late, that’s been so ecstatically uplifting and bursting with classic modern pop tunes that it’s elevated me out of any slump, funk or sluggishness I might have been feeling at the time. Believe it or not, it’s the new Wombats album. Maybe Murph is the new Prozac after all.” – NME
“A modern pop primer bursting with potential hits… reminds you just how thrilling and sharp-edged narrative pop can be.” – Sunday Times Culture
“A joyous, infectious pop album full of uplifting melodies” – The Fly
