The majority of venues are located in places that they've never played before during their 40+ year career; as well as a brand-new album that sees them revisit their songs in a stripped back style.

'An Intimate Acoustic Evening with Wet Wet Wet,' at the Stirling venue on May 20 next year, will see founding member Graeme Clark, longstanding guitarist Graeme Duffin, and lead singer Kevin Simm, who joined the band in 2018, perform a full set of reworked Wet Wet Wet classics, with the odd story and anecdote from the band's history thrown in for good measure.

The idea for the album and for taking this new show on the road has developed from the band's recent run of successful full band tours, which have seen them perform to over 75,000 people at their headline shows alone during the last couple of years, plus countless more at festivals around the world. Every night, the trio perform a short set of three songs acoustically, in what has become a fan-favourite highlight of their live show.

Bassist Graeme Clark said "We love nothing more than performing our songs live, so to have the chance of presenting them in a slightly different way is very inspiring.
