THE WILDHEARTS Announce 'Earth Vs The Wildhearts' 20th-Anniversary Shows - Jan. 1, 2013

After a three-year hiatus, THE WILDHEARTS — Ginger (vocals, guitar), CJ (guitar, vocals), Ritch Battersby (drums) and "Random" Jon Poole (bass) — made their explosive live return in front of a sellout crowd at The Forum in London, England on December 17, 2012.

In April 2013, THE WILDHEARTS will once again take to the stage when they perform their classic debut album, "Earth Vs The Wildhearts", at four special shows. The album was voted the No. 1 album of the year by Kerrang! magazine in 1993. The show will be broken into two halves — the first will see "Earth Vs" performed in full, and the second half will allow the audience each night to help choose the songs they want to hear.

The dates are as follows:

April 04 - Glasgow, ABC
April 05 - Manchester, Academy
April 06 - Nottingham, Rockcity
April 07 - Wolverhampton, Wulfrun Hall

Support will come from EUREKA MACHINES.

Tickets go on sale on January 7 at 9 a.m. from all major ticket outlets.

Awesome news! A hell of a reason to go to UK. One of the best rock albums ever made, agressive, powerful and catchy, not a filler track in it. Again, great news.

That magazine is what got me into the Wildhearts. I wish they'd do this is the USA. Of course, the first time I saw both Saxon and Diamond Head was is 2011, so I am prepared to wait. I guess.

However, they did play "Earth vs" in its entirety 5 years ago in NYC for the 15th anniversary. Amazing show - these guys are always killer, no matter who is on drums and bass!
