Love is all around Swindon next May

Wet Wet Wet have announced a UK acoustic tour of intimate shows for next spring, and will be coming to Swindon Wyvern Theatre on 28 May 2026.

‘An Intimate Acoustic Evening with Wet Wet Wet’ will see founding member Graeme Clark, long-standing guitarist Graeme Duffin, and lead singer Kevin Simm, who joined the band in 2018, perform a full set of reworked Wet Wet Wet classics, along with anecdotes from the band’s history.

It’s a chance to hear Wet Wet Wet’s most iconic sons – including Angel Eyes, Sweet Little Mystery, and the legendary Love Is All Around – in an intimate setting, performed like never before.

Bassist Graeme Clark said: “We love nothing more than performing our songs live, so to have the chance of presenting them in a slightly different way is very inspiring. By showcasing our best-known songs acoustically in these intimate surroundings, it’ll let us strip them down to their bones and reimagine them.

“This personal look into our beloved music catalogue will give the audience a real insight into their favourite songs in a unique way that we’ve never been able to do before.”

Guitarist Graeme Duffin, said: “Having dipped our toes back into the waters of stripped down acoustic performance on the recent tour, which went down incredibly well, it seemed like a natural progression to extend the set, take it on the road and visit some new places. The songs take on a very different character acoustically, presenting a unique opportunity to engage with the audience on a more personal level. When the music is much more exposed, there are far less places to hide!”

Lead singer Kevin Simm, said: “I’m really excited to be going out on this acoustic tour with Graeme and Graeme, performing these great songs in an intimate atmosphere which will be something different for us and also fans of the band. It’s been a lot of fun recording the songs in a stripped back style and I can’t wait to perform them live that way too. We’ll be playing the hits of course, but in a way that people won’t get the chance to see too often.”

This stripped back approach re-works songs from throughout the legendary group’s back catalogue and has inspired a brand-new studio album which will be released on CD and limited-edition coloured vinyl on 3rd October 2025.

Wet Wet Wet have sold over 15 million records worldwide, with 20× platinum certifications, and incredibly have achieved over 500 weeks spent on the UK Singles and Albums Charts. They continue to be one of the UK’s most successful and best-loved bands, with a catalogue of defining hits such as Sweet Little Mystery, Angel Eyes, Goodnight Girl, With a Little Help from My Friends, Sweet Surrender, Julia Says and of course, the ubiquitous Love Is All Around which spent the entire summer of 1994 at No.1.
