Wet Wet Wet have set dates for a tour with Heather Small of M People fame in 2025.

The 'Love Is All Around' hitmakers will hit the road again with former Liberty X star Kevin Simm, 43, on lead vocals in the place of original frontman Marti Pellow, 58, next year after a sold-out run in 2023.

The group - completed by Graeme Clark, 58, and Graeme Duffin, 68 - are thrilled soul star Heather, 59, agreed to join them for the lengthy jaunt across the UK.

Founding member Graeme Clark said: "To be back playing live, in the band I love, playing the songs I love, to people I love, completely fills my heart and soul. We can’t wait to see everybody again throughout 2025 in a venue close by! We were headlining a festival in Dubai recently where we bumped into the wonderful Heather Small and we are absolutely delighted that she’s accepted our invitation to join us as special guest on all of our tour dates next year. Simply put, these shows are not to be missed!"

Kevin said: "It’s so exciting to be going back out on tour throughout 2025! Our recent concerts created some fantastic memories for us all and it was an incredible experience that I will never ever forget! With Heather Small joining us as special guest on this tour it is going to be a great night of hits, energy and fun - I can’t wait!”

Graeme Duffin commented: "The sold out 2024 tour was the most joyful and celebratory tour I’ve been on. I am eagerly looking forward to these dates in 2025. It is such a pleasure and privilege to have the opportunity to play to such lovely appreciative audiences, and I can’t wait to do it all over again, see you soon!"

Heather added: "I’m so excited to join Wet Wet Wet on their extensive tour in 2025. I’m a fan of their music, so to be able to share these stages with them will be a real pleasure, it’s going to be one big party!"
