The Wombats recently announced a UK and Ireland arena tour for this winter, with support coming from The Snuts. They have also been confirmed as the final headliner for Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus 2025.
Additionally, the group will make appearances at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Neighbourhood Weekender, Kendal Calling, Y Not, Boardmasters, Mad Cool and other festivals over the summer.
‘Oh! The Ocean’ was made with help from St. Vincent and Death Cab For Cutie producer John Congleton, and inspired by a revelatory experience that frontman Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy had on a beach during a recent family holiday.
Speaking about advancing to arena tours during an interview with NME last October, he explained: “The bigger the crowd, the more comfortable I feel. The small ones freak me out, because I can see everyone’s face.
“I can see the boyfriend that’s been dragged along against his will. I can see the first album fans, or I can see the people who know us from TikTok and were expecting a Euro dance track. I can see all of these things, whereas when it’s a big crowd, I just see one quite happy, energetic being.”
