These two acts grew up alongside each other during the ‘Stourbridge Scene’ and to mark their special reunion - they have announced a one-off, 12 date, double headline UK tour for spring 2018. They will be supported by Stourbridge’s DJ Graham Crabb (from Pop Will Eat Itself) and are performing at the 02 Academy on Thursday 12th April 2018. Both bands will be selling a limited number of advance tickets at their special price from Wednesday the 27th of September at 9am from ticketmaster.co.uk. 

 

Their first ever live show together was on The Wonder Stuff’s ‘Disco King’ tour at the legendary Hummingbird in Birmingham and they can’t wait to kick off their nostalgic tour at the end of March.


Both bands will perform full-length, 75-minute sets and will feature a greatest hits collection; The Wonder Stuff playing classics including ‘Unbearable’, ‘Red Berry Joy Town’ and ‘On The Ropes’ and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin playing ‘Happy’, ‘Grey Cell Green’ and ‘Kill Your Television’ among others.

 

Miles Hunt from The Wonder Stuff said: “It’s going to be a great tour for sure. I think there are a lot of people out there that have waited a long time to see the two bands together again.  I’m looking forward to seeing the Ned’s because they’ll give me a kick up the backside. They’re such a great live band. I’ve never seen them less than on it.” 

 

The Wonder Stuff have sold millions of albums worldwide with eight studio releases so far and their career has spanned more than three decades. They still record and tour internationally and their latest album, 30 Goes Around The Sun, entered the UK Top 30 and made Top 3 in the Indie Chart. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin formed 30 years ago and quickly gained a massive fan base after those initial shows with The Wonder Stuff.

 

General sale tickets are £30.00 and go on sale from Friday 29 September 2017 - Click here for tickets.
