Wet Wet Wet and Go West will unite for the first time ever for a co-headline UK tour.

The ‘Best of Both Worlds‘ tour will see the legendary bands play shows across the UK in early 2024, performing their seminal songs from a combined treasure-trove of hits – with 36 UK Top 40 singles between them.

Wet Wet Wet bass player Graeme Clark says: “This is a first for us, it’s our debut co-headline tour and we are super vibed about it. It’s always great to be on the road and this will be something special. We look forward to making new friends and maybe picking up a few new converts around the country.”

“We’re really excited to be co touring with Go West, they are great guys and their hits speak for themselves,” adds lead singer Kevin Simm. “Being a vocalist I have always greatly admired Peter Cox’s unique tone and soul so I’m looking forward to hearing it every night on the tour!”

Richard Drummie from Go West continues: “Peter and I are really looking forward to getting out on the road with the Wet Wet Wet boys. It’s going to be a lot of fun for us and of course, the audience! The shows will be like a jukebox of each bands’ hits. That’s why we’ve called it ‘The Best of Both Worlds Tour’. Prestigious venues, great songs, two fabulous bands .. one great night out! See you all there.”

The 12-date tour kicks off at Cardiff St David’s Hall on January 21, concluding at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall on February 7.
