EventThe Wildhearts
Plus Support Doors 7:30pm For three decades, The Wildhearts have remained at the forefront of the UK rock scene; through incendiary, festival-topping live shows and fast-lane frolics, they have cemented their reputation as one of the finest, most prolific, most notorious outfit’s their homeland has produced - and now they’re back with a brand new studio album, their first for Snakefarm! Titled ‘Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts’ and produced / mixed by Jim Pinder and Carl Bown (Sleep Token / Bullet For My Valentine / While She Sleeps), the record is conceived - musically, visually and in terms of spirit and intent - as a belated 10-track follow-up to their classic debut, ‘Earth vs The Wildhearts’ (1993). As always, the song-writing of main-man Ginger is signature, ambitious and not specific to genre; what he serves up here are numbers of defiance and hope, of ragged glory, of true heart-on-sleeve emotion - numbers that sound like no-one else on this planet (or the explored parts of space). On the new album as a whole, Ginger comments… “The songs on ‘Satanic Rites…’ were written during a period of transition, from extremely negative to positive. I realised how much control I have over my mental health, and the songs came from that understanding. There’s everything here - catchy choruses, proper fuck-off riffs, anger, frustration, acceptance and revelation, with plenty of insane detours. The album starts pessimistic then ends up like ‘Ah, so I CAN turn my life around?’ It’s a hard rock album for people who love hard rock!” ‘Satanic Rites…’ - a title inspired by Ginger’s love of ’70’s Hammer movie, ‘The Satanic Rites of Dracula’ - is the band’s 11th studio album to date, and was released worldwide on March 7th 2025, preceded by a third / single video, ‘I’ll Be Your Monster’ - a glam rock stomper featuring Shining / Emperor member Jørgen Munkeby on guest saxophone. - Specific set times are only made available on the day of the event, please check the venue’s so
