The Wildhearts are back, with a NEW ALBUM and a NEW TOUR!
By Andy B | October 21, 2024
Following the glowing reviews of their comeback show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire earlier this year, The Wildhearts are very happy to announce a 2025 UK tour in March to support the release of their brand new studio album, ‘Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts‘!
The band have just signed a worldwide deal with Snakefarm/Integral, and the album has been produced by Jim Pinder (Bring Me The Horizon, Lotus Eater, While She Sleeps, Bullet For My Valentine) and mixed by Jim Pinder and Carl Bown (Trivium, Machine Head, While She Sleeps, Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The Horizon).
Ginger has this to say of the new songs:
“The songs were written during a period of transition, from extremely negative to positive. I realised how much control I have over my mental health, and the songs came from that understanding. There’s everything here – catchy choruses, proper fuck-off riffs, anger, frustration, acceptance and revelation, with plenty of insane detours. The album starts pessimistic and ends up like ‘Ah, so I CAN turn my life around?’
Sometimes you have to start from the very bottom, your darkest point. We have more control over our emotions than we think. We control the outcome by how we respond. Once I started learning that, the songs came pissing out. It’s a hard rock album for people who actually love hard rock!”

‘Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts‘ will be available on coloured vinyl LP, CD with exclusive bonus track and cassette. The LP & CD formats contain lyrics hand-written by Ginger, plus a painting by Ginger.
There is also an album test pressing (limited to 50, customised & signed by Ginger) & CD EP containing 4 tracks exclusive to this format – all signed by Ginger.

Ginger gives an insight into what we can expect each night of the UK leg of the tour:
“We’ll be taking a full evening’s entertainment on tour, kicking off with party-punks Dirt Box Disco, going to rock ‘n’ roll church with Jim Jones and being flayed alive with The Wildhearts.
The party starts when the doors open, so get a buzz on and get down early.
Come join the Wildhearts’ community gathering. We guarantee you’ll leave with the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll firmly restored.”
Tickets for the tour go on general sale at 10am Friday 25 October and can be ordered
from Gigantic here.
