The Wombats will take to the stage on Thursday 19 June for their biggest hometown show to date.

As one of Liverpool’s biggest musical acts over the last 20 years, The Wombats aka Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy, Tord Øverland Knudsen and Dan Haggis, met as teenagers whilst studying at Liverpool Institute of Performing Art.

They emerged as leading lights of the late ‘00’s indie rock scene, with 2007 debut ‘A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation’ featuring hit singles ‘Let’s Dance to Joy Division’, ‘Moving to New York’ and ‘Kill the Director’, and over the years have maintained an incredible momentum.

Their 2011 electro flecked second album ‘This Modern Glitch’ established them as Top 10 chart regulars, whilst 2015’s ‘Glitterbug’ connected with a new generation of fans, especially through TikTok where ‘Greek Tragedy’ became a viral hit.
