Founding member Graeme Clarke said: “When we made Popped In Souled Out, I was just a young guy.
“Forty years later, those songs have taken on a life of their own, and this tour is about celebrating where it all began without forgetting what followed.
“It’ll feel like stepping back into those original PISO shoes – only now with a lifetime of experience and with an audience who’ve been with us through every twist and turn. “
Despite playing in Pompey, the band will not be travelling down the M27 and have snubbed Southampton in their 40 city tour.
Southampton fans of the trio will have another opportunity to see the band in Hampshire as they will also be performing at the Basingstoke Anvil on Thursday, February 11, 2027.
Long term guitarist Graeme Clark added: “When we made Popped In Souled Out, I was just a young guy.
“Forty years later, those songs have taken on a life of their own, and this tour is about celebrating where it all began without forgetting what followed.
“It’ll feel like stepping back into those original PISO shoes – only now with a lifetime of experience and with an audience who’ve been with us through every twist and turn.”
Wet, Wet, Wet are most famous for their cover of “Love Is All Around” which famously featured in 2003 film, Love Actually.
Tickets will be available from Friday 17th April, 10am via Ticketmaster.
