Starting out with a handful of festival shows in the UK and Europe in July and August, the band then gets back out on the UK roads in September and October, and into November and December for some more dates around the country!

Live show cancellations due to current Coronavirus COVID-19 situation

Thursday, March 12th, 2020

The Wildhearts regret to announce the cancellation of the Radio Rock Cruise in Finland and also tomorrow’s (13th March) performance at MK11 in Milton Keynes, due to the ongoing situation regarding the Coronavirus. The cruise was cancelled on advice of the Finnish Government, and the band and management are working hard to rearrange the Milton Keynes show. We plan to have tickets on sale for the new date but please contact the promoter should you wish for a refund, more info to follow when we have it.

Some words from CJ:

“Hi due to the unfolding coronavirus situation we have been forced to cancel our upcoming shows in Milton Keynes and Finland.

My parents are very sick at the moment and people close to me have been asked to self-quarantine, I’m currently waiting to hear if their test results are positive.

With the current international emergency it would be wrong for us to travel.

I’ve just moved my mum from hospital to a nursing home today and my Dad is in one already as he has dementia, I really have to think about my family and my fellow band mates and their families too at this time.

We all feel that cancelling the shows is the safest and only option for us and we are all very sorry about any inconvenience caused.

All the best

Stay safe Stay healthy”

Ginger’s cracked mirror finish Silvertone Apocolypse Pro guitar up for grabs!

Tuesday, April 24th, 2018

On December 22nd, our brother and bassist Scott Sorry was diagnosed with a cystic brain tumour.

He will be undergoing surgery on December 26th, with the hope the surgeons will be able to remove it successfully, but as Scott lives in the US, the costs of his medical treatment are very large.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help raise some funds to help Scott and his family out – there’s no good time for news like this, but Christmas time seems to add an extra cruel twist to the news.

If you are able, please spare whatever cash you can – the cost of a pint with your mates, for example, would all go to help out Scott with his recovery. You can donate at www.gofundme.com/scottsorry

Thank you for your support!
