Multi-platinum selling band Wet Wet Wet announces new intimate acoustic tour for 2026 including visit to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds

A multi-platinum selling band has announced a new intimate acoustic tour for 2026 including a visit to a market town.

Wet Wet Wet will perform a series of shows in the UK with the majority of venues in places that they’ve never played before during their 40-plus year career, as well as a new album that sees them revisit their songs in a stripped back style.

The group will be coming to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds on May 30 - the final location on their tour which starts on May 13.

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

The idea for the album and for taking the show on the road has developed from the band’s recent run of hugely successful tours, which have seen them perform to more than 75,000 people at their headline shows alone during the last couple of years.

Every night, the trio perform a short set of 3 songs acoustically, in what has become a fan-favourite highlight of their live show.

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.”

The acoustic tour will offer fans a chance to see and hear the trio play Wet Wet Wet’s most iconic songs – including Sweet Little Mystery, Angel Eyes, Temptation, Sweet Surrender, and the legendary Love Is All Around – in an intimate setting.

Lead singer Kevin Simm added “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.”

Tickets are available via Ticketmaster and the official Wet Wet Wet website.

Presale for fans who purchase the new album Strings Attached goes live at 10am on July 8, with the general sale for tickets at 10am on July 11.
