Spain Tour Dates Cancelled
By Andy B | May 1, 2025
Very reluctantly, The Wildhearts have made the tough decision to postpone their upcoming Spanish tour.
Like an ever increasing number of artists, it is proving impossible to play club shows in Europe without running at a large financial loss.
The band are trying to find a solution and hope to be back in Spain as soon as financially possible, but until then refunds are available from point of purchase.
All of the other previously announced shows and festivals will be unaffected.
Thank you for your understanding.
Last chance for tour merch!
By Andy B | April 7, 2025
Following the recent UK tour, we have a small amount of merch still available, including a very limited number of blue and red vinyl copies of Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts, signed by all four band members (no white vinyl left!). New design tour t-shirts are also still to be had, as well as some hoodies.
The first fifty orders of any shirt, hoodie or vinyl will get a tour laminate thrown in, either from the recent March tour, or last year’s Shepherds Bush Empire show.

Changes to in-store sessions
By Andy B | March 12, 2025
Due to logistical problems that would have had a probable knock on effects on the remaining tour dates, we have reluctantly made the decision to cancel today’s instore at Newcastle HMV.
We apologise but this is a case of things genuinely being out of our control.
We will be sending a special gift to anyone who was planning to attend by way of an apology and have asked HMV to supply a list of attendees so we can ensure this happens, there will also be an option for you to receive a signed copy of the album, details to follow.
Please accept our sincere apologies, but we have to protect the well being of the band and ensure the remaining dates go ahead as planned.
However, it’s always great that when something goes wrong, in this case, having to cancel the Newcastle instore, someone steps forward to help out.
It gives us great pleasure to announce that the final instore for the tour will take place at:
Love Music
34 Dundas Street
Glasgow
G1 2AQ
At midday tomorrow – 13th March 2025
The whole band will be there to meet, greet and sign copies of the new album.
What makes this even better is that we get to support a great independent store.
Come and see us if you can.

Playing the test pressings
By Andy B | February 21, 2025
The reason we have test vinyl pressings of new albums is so we can check that they sound as awesome as they should do, so that when they are delivered to your good selves, we know you’ll be hearing them as they truly should be heard. So a very important step that needs to be taken, is to actually listen to them!
Here, Ginger has a listen to a test pressing of the new Wildhearts album, Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts. Have a watch of what he thinks of it!
Test pressings of the new album are here!
