The Wombats announce Scarborough Open Air Theatre gig
The Wombats are set to entertain fans in Scarborough next year
The Wombats are coming to Scarborough's Open Air Theatre next year.
It is as the band have announced their fifth studio album 'Fix Yourself, Not The World, which is due for release on 7th January 2022.
Alongside this, the indie heroes have revealed plans for a five-date headline UK arena tour in 2022 – including a massive headline show at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Thursday 26th May.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am this Friday (20th August) via scarboroughopenairtheatre.com
The announcement comes accompanied by a brand new single 'If You Ever Leave, I’m Coming With You.' Recording remotely over the past year from their respective homes, the band have been working hard to produce their recent music.
With frontman Matthew “Murph” Murphy in Los Angeles, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen in Oslo and drummer Dan Haggis in London, they discussed each day’s plan via Zoom, then recorded separately, sending individual files to producers.
Murph said: "It was pure madness, to be honest."
Dan Haggis said: “We’re so excited for people to hear this new album! We’ve explored new genres and pushed ourselves further than ever musically. It will always stand out for us in our memories from our other albums as we recorded it across three cities during lockdown, and we weren’t all in the same room at the same time!"
Speaking about their new single, Murph said: “I noticed that 2020 and 2021 put some serious strain on interpersonal relationships, it felt like people around me were really struggling. For me, 'If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You’ taps into all of that and asks the question… is it the circumstances putting undue stress on people? Or have the circumstances shed light on people's incompatibility with one another?”
