The Wonder Stuff Announce 40th Anniversary UK Tour!
The Wonder Stuff have announced an extensive UK tour for October 2026, celebrating the alt-rock band’s 40th anniversary.
The 16-date tour will begin in Newcastle on 1st October, and will include further dates Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield, Brighton, Bournemouth, Margate, Glasgow, Cardiff, Leeds, Leicester,
Scarborough, Norwich, Lincoln, Wolverhampton and Liverpool, before ending the year with a date at London’s Brixton Academy on 8th December.

The Wonder Stuff’s long-time line-up of Miles Hunt (vocals/guitar), Malc Treece (guitar/vocals),
Erica Nockalls (violin/vocals), Mark Gemini Thwaite (guitar), Tim Sewell (bass) and Pete Howard (drums) will perform a career-spanning sets, including hits singles and fan favourites such
as ‘Unbearable’, ‘A Wish Away’, ‘Caught In My Shadow’, ‘Size of A Cow’, and ‘Don’t Let Me Know Down, Gently’, amongst many others.
Joining The Wonder Stuff as the tour’s very special guests will be Inspiral Carpets.
A venue pre-sale will take place from 10.00am on Wednesday 25th March, before going on general
sale at 10.00am on Friday 27th March, available from www.thewonderstuff.co.uk.

Looking ahead to the tour, Miles Hunt said, “When the original line-up of The Wonder Stuff first rehearsed together on March 19th 1986 – exactly forty years ago today - I wonder what our thoughts might have been if Malc Treece and I knew that we would be fortunate enough to still be playing gigs
together now?
Whatever those scruffy young fellas would have thought I can tell you now, all these years later, both of us are incredibly grateful to all of the audiences that have stuck with us these past
four decades.
And it shall be our absolute honour to get up on stage this year and play as many of the old faves as we can to those wonderful people. We are blessed.”
