The Wildhearts are back, with a NEW ALBUM and a NEW TOUR!

Monday, October 21st, 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!”

Live show cancellations due to current Coronavirus COVID-19 situation

Thursday, March 12th, 2020

The Wildhearts regret to announce the cancellation of the Radio Rock Cruise in Finland and also tomorrow’s (13th March) performance at MK11 in Milton Keynes, due to the ongoing situation regarding the Coronavirus. The cruise was cancelled on advice of the Finnish Government, and the band and management are working hard to rearrange the Milton Keynes show. We plan to have tickets on sale for the new date but please contact the promoter should you wish for a refund, more info to follow when we have it.

Some words from CJ:

“Hi due to the unfolding coronavirus situation we have been forced to cancel our upcoming shows in Milton Keynes and Finland.

My parents are very sick at the moment and people close to me have been asked to self-quarantine, I’m currently waiting to hear if their test results are positive.

With the current international emergency it would be wrong for us to travel.

I’ve just moved my mum from hospital to a nursing home today and my Dad is in one already as he has dementia, I really have to think about my family and my fellow band mates and their families too at this time.

We all feel that cancelling the shows is the safest and only option for us and we are all very sorry about any inconvenience caused.

All the best

Stay safe Stay healthy”
