The Wedding Present have been one of the UK's most loved bands since forming back in 1985. Via records such as 'George Best', 'Seamonsters' and 'Take Fountain' they grew into an intriguing outfit drawing on influences from The Fall and The Buzzcocks and adding their unique stamp to remain as relevant now as almost 40 years ago.During 2026 The Wedding Present will be playing a series of concert dates to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the release of their pivotal long-player, Seamonsters.
Following the release of Seamonsters - which was recorded by the legendary Steve Albini in twelve days during 1991 - The Guardian noted that: “Albini has given The Wedding Present considerable weight, with Gedge’s voice trickling between banks of scowling guitars” and went onto feature it in its list of ‘1,000 albums to hear before you die’. Despite its uncompromising sound, the album reached No. 13 in the British album charts and has been hailed as a classic.
On all concert dates the band will play Seamonsters in its entirety along with other songs carefully selected from their extensive repertoire. RCA Records are also commemorating the anniversary with limited edition re-release of the album on ‘Deep Sea Blue’ colour BioVinyl.6pm-8pm Pre-Party
