Wet Wet Wet Announce Intimate Acoustic Gig at King’s Hall Ilkley

Wet Wet Wet will perform an intimate acoustic evening at the King’s Hall, Ilkley, on Tuesday 26th May 2026. The trio—founding member Graeme Clark, guitarist Graeme Duffin, and lead singer Kevin Simm—will present a full set of reworked Wet Wet Wet classics, sharing stories and anecdotes from the band’s history.

This special acoustic tour evolved from the band’s recent successful full-band tours, which attracted over 75,000 attendees at headline shows alone. Each night, the trio performs a short acoustic set that has become a fan-favourite highlight.

Lead singer Kevin Simm expressed excitement about the tour, highlighting the unique intimate atmosphere and the opportunity to perform iconic songs like "Sweet Little Mystery," "Angel Eyes," "Temptation," "Sweet Surrender," and the legendary "Love Is All Around" in a new way.

Wet Wet Wet have sold over 15 million records worldwide, with 20× platinum certifications and more than 500 weeks on the UK Singles and Albums Charts. Their enduring popularity is reflected in hits such as "Goodnight Girl," "With a Little Help from My Friends," and "Julia Says."

Tickets for the acoustic gig range from £39 to £123 and are available online. The event is suitable for ages 12 and up.
