The Wildhearts recently revealed they would hit the road with special guests The Professionals and Janus Stark on The Renaissance Men Tour Part 2.
Those shows will take place throughout October in Brighton, Reading, Chester, Hull, Holmfirth, Cambridge, Bath, Southampton, Wolverhampton and Dover – with the tour coinciding with the release of their Diagnosis album, which is out on October 4 through Graphite Records.
And the band have wasted no time in announcing that early next year, they’ll tour again on a co-headline run with Backyard Babies, with support from CKY.
The bands will play four shows in Germany before returning to the UK for a further seven dates, with the gigs planned for January and February.
CJ Wildheart says: “I’m surprised we haven't done this already but it's finally happening – a tour with the Backyard Babies. Its going to be full-on and we are sharing a bus, what could possibly go wrong?
“Come out and see us, dance, drink, sing and have your faces torn off!”
Backyard Babies’ guitarist Dregen adds: “This will be a badass tour. We’ve been talking about touring with The Wildhearts since the early 2000s. Finally it happens!
CKY drummer Jess Margera says: “CKY is beyond stoked to return to the UK with the legendary Backyard Babies and The Wildhearts! The rock’n’roll runs deep on this batch of shows. Don’t miss it!”
Tickets will go on sale this Friday (September 13).
