Wet Wet Wet celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut album 'Popped In Souled Out' with a UK tour show at the Swansea Building Society Arena, with special guest Nick Heyward.
Wet Wet Wet play the Swansea Building Society Arena on Friday 8 October 2027, with Nick Heyward opening the bill. It's part of a 2027 UK tour that runs to more than 40 dates, split across two legs in February and October, all marking the 40th anniversary of their debut album, Popped In Souled Out.
That record came out in 1987 and went straight to Number 1 on the UK Albums Chart. It gave them four hit singles — 'Wishing I Was Lucky', 'Sweet Little Mystery', 'Angel Eyes' and 'Temptation' — and went multi-platinum here. It also broke into the US Billboard Charts, which helped set them up as one of the big British bands of the late eighties. The set draws on that debut alongside hits from across their wider catalogue, which includes three UK Number 1 singles, 56 Top of the Pops appearances and more than 15 million singles and albums sold.
Founding member Graeme Clark says the songs have taken on a life of their own, while guitarist Graeme Duffin and lead vocalist Kevin Simm call the tour a dream come true. Nick Heyward supports them on the night, so there's a second act to the evening before the main set.
