Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena will be getting all Wet Wet Wet next month when the iconic British band comes to town on Sunday 28th February with The Big Picture Tour.
Selling over 15 million records whilst notching up over thirty UK chart hits including three number ones since coming to prominence in 1987, the legendary group have played to over 5 million people across the globe and the tour announcement coincided with the 20th anniversary of their huge No. 1 album Picture This which included the hits Julia Says, Don’t Want to Forgive Me Now, Somewhere Somehow, She’s All On My Mind, Morning and, of course, Love is all Around.
Lead singer Marti Pellow said “When we play together it always reminds me how great this band is and how proud I am of the armory of songs we’ve built up. We love to see the fans enjoying what we do on stage and we’re all looking forward to being on the road again”
Bass guitarist Graeme Clark said “We’ve been working on new material as well as looking into the archive and we’re looking forward to playing plenty of songs from Picture This to commemorate its anniversary alongside many other favourites.
Keyboard player Neil Mitchell said “Playing live for the fans is so important to us and we’re delighted to have booked shows all over the country and then some on this tour”
Drummer Tommy Cunningham said “We always put on a spectacular show and it will be no different this time around as amongst a few other surprises, we’ll have massive screens on stage to fit right in with the Big Picture theme”
Markus Feehily has been confirmed as the special guest for the tour.
Markus rose to fame as one fifth of Westlife, with the band’s 14 year career seeing them sell over 50 million records worldwide, achieve 14 No.1 singles in the UK and 26 Top 10s.
Markus, who launched his solo career earlier this year and saw his debut album Fire chart at No.2 in the charts, said: "I remember listening to Marti Pellow’s voice and being really inspired. It’s a pleasure to go on tour with Wet Wet Wet and I can't wait to sing in the arenas again".
