Info
On 26 February 2027, Wet Wet Wet take over The Blackpool Opera House, Blackpool to mark 40 years of their debut album Popped In Souled Out. Formed in Clydebank, the band forged a blend of soul-inflected pop, rich arrangements and melodic hooks that shaped the late-80s UK charts. Expect a set built around the album that started it all, with songs like Wishing I Was Lucky, Sweet Little Mystery and Angel Eyes, revisited alongside later favourites. With Kevin Simm now on vocals, the group leans into the warmth and groove that defined their early sound while opening the catalogue to a new chapter. It’s a chance to hear those sing-along choruses and brass-tinged textures live, anchored by the rhythm section that gave their ballads and mid-tempo tracks their pulse.
Support: Rebecca Ferguson. The Liverpool singer brings a soulful, restrained delivery rooted in R&B, blues and gospel, carried by clear melodies and uncluttered arrangements. From Heaven and Freedom to recent material, her songwriting gravitates toward intimate themes and slow-burning grooves. Her set offers a smooth, modern soul mood that pairs naturally with Wet Wet Wet’s melodic pop, setting the tone for an evening of voices and classic songcraft.
