Wunderhorse add more UK dates to 2025 tour

Wunderhorse have added more dates to their 2025 UK tour.

The band recently wrapped up a tour of the UK at the end of last month and announced a one-off show at London’s Alexandra Palace on May 29 next year, their biggest headline show to date.

Now they have added three new extra dates in Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham the same week as their show in the capital. The band will kick off their short jaunt on May 24 at the O2 Academy Birmingham before calling at O2 Academy Glasgow on May 27 and O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on May 28.

Tickets are still available for the London show here and the remaining dates go on sale this Friday (November 8) 10am GMT here. The band are also inviting fans to sign up for a presale here. You can view the new dates below.

News of the shows comes just after Jacob Slater and co. recently shared their highly-anticipated sophomore album ‘Midas’. Reaching the Top 10 in the UK album charts, the record marked the follow-up to Wunderhorse’s acclaimed 2022 debut ‘Cub’.

Earlier this summer, ‘Midas’ was given a four-star review by NME, and described as “a masterclass in the business of evolution”.

“Where that debut album focused on Slater finally becoming the songwriter he had the potential to be, its follow-up reworks and refines his strong storytelling,” it read. “Here, the frontman enriches his lyrics and pairs them with a dash of chaotic energy brought in by his bandmates and the unity between them.

“Though it’s meant to be a second album, ‘Midas’ feels like a fresh start for a group that, through becoming a proper team, has found its way. It may only be a second album, but it looks like the business of Wunderhorse is set to continue to prosper.”

Speaking about the creation of the album previously, frontman Slater said: “When we first went into the studio to make this record, the only thing we were sure about is how we wanted it to sound; very imperfect, very live, very raw; no frills. We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amplifiers like you’ve been locked inside the bass drum.”

Then, speaking to NME after their performance at Reading & Leeds Festival earlier this year, he spoke about the band’s evolution in sound since they recorded the album.

“It’s just a natural development. We all toured lots together and a natural chemistry sort of happened,” he explained. “A lot of the album was written in the studio. I’d come up with the chords and the basic lyrics, but everyone would be there to sort of put their own unique print on it as it was happening, while [the songs] were still in this embryonic stage, rather than something that had been fully learned and fully realised. So everyone’s personality just naturally comes out a lot more.”
