The Wildhearts announce December tour: “We’re playing some songs that we don’t get to play too often”

The Wildhearts have announced a 10-date UK headline tour.

Armed with March’s excellent Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts album, they’ll hit Chester, Preston, Pontypridd, Torquay, Southend, Brighton, London, Bradford and Nottingham, before finishing up in Newcastle just 10 days before Christmas.

“I can’t wait to get this band onstage in front of people,” enthuses Ginger Wildheart. “I want to bring this line-up’s energy and spirit for audiences to take home with them. I’m so very excited to share this with everyone.

“We’re also playing some songs that we don’t get to play too often, so that always makes things even more fun. I’m honestly buzzing about getting back onstage again. I can’t fucking wait for this!”
