Wet Wet Wet to perform at The Anvil, Basingstoke in 2027

The group will perform at The Anvil on Thursday, February 11, as part of a tour of more than 40 shows celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut album, Popped In Souled Out.

The album, released in 1987, launched the Scottish band to international fame and included hits such as Wishing I Was Lucky and Sweet Little Mystery.

Graeme Clark, a founding member of the band, said: "When we made Popped In Souled Out, I was just a young guy.

"Forty years later, those songs have taken on a life of their own, and this tour is about celebrating where it all began without forgetting what followed.

"It’ll feel like stepping back into those original PISO shoes – only now with a lifetime of experience and with an audience who’ve been with us through every twist and turn."

The current line-up features Clark, long-standing guitarist Graeme Duffin and lead vocalist Kevin Simm.

Duffin said: "These shows are going to be a blast, and I know that fans are going to enjoy the shows just as much as us when we hit the road again next year."
