The Wombats are a band at the peak of their powers. Built over sixteen years, their ever-expanding fanbase has continued to swell, boosted first by a new generation of fans discovering their vast catalogue of indie bangers through streaming, then via TikTok following the viral success of Oliver Nelson’s remix of their 2015 hit ‘Greek Tragedy’. Underpinning it all though is the timeless power of their songwriting and Murph’s inimitable lyrical style, which was lauded by fans and critics alike for Fix Yourself, Not The World, and has now seen them reach a million followers on Spotify.
This success was brought home to the band most tangibly during their recent world tour, where Murph, Tord and drummer Dan Haggis played their biggest ever headline show at London’s The O2, also visiting North and South America, Europe and Australia, before heading home for a busy summer of festivals that’s included mainstage slots at Community Festival, Tramlines, Boardmasters and Kendal Calling. The Wombats still have a lot more noise to make.
