The Wombats have announced a string of UK & IE tour dates, taking place in later this year including a stop at Bournemouth International Centre. This comes after the band released their sixth studio album, "Oh! The Ocean", via AWAL Recordings.

Two years since scoring their debut UK #1 album with "Fix Yourself Not The World", The Wombats are back and bigger than ever. "Oh! The Ocean" trembles with the confessional emotional honesty that makes the Liverpool band's music as cathartic and relatable as it is catchy and playful, to their continuously growing young fanbase. Their recent singles have received large support from fans, with "Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want To Come" being a Radio 1 playlist track.

Since they emerged as leading lights of the late-‘00s indie rock scene with 2007 debut "A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation", Murph, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis have maintained an incredible upward momentum. 2011’s electro-flecked second album "This Modern Glitch" made them Top Ten regulars; 2015’s third "Glitterbug" saw them embraced by the TikTok generation, with "Greek Tragedy" a viral hit several times over. By 2018’s "Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life" they'd stepped up to arenas and 2022’s "Fix Yourself, Not the World" consolidated their unstoppable rise with the band’s first Number One album, seeing them reach over 2.5 billion streams.
