Even more shows! Wombats tour announced + more
Posted on 16 April, 2008 by Gareth
After the giddiness of announcing headline shows for IWACS in June, we're even giddier to inform you that Will & Todd will be heading out with The Wombats on their rather large venue tour of the country from the start of May. Locations include Stoke, London, Oxford, Nottingham, Leeds and Bristol. See the tour page for full details and dates.
On top of that, there's a smattering of shows in and around that period with the next show being the JD Set Presents show at the Glasgow Cathouse on April 25th. Check listings for that and others. Hope to see you across the summer!
