The Wedding Present 2026

The Wedding Present have been one of the UK's most loved bands since forming back in 1985. Via records such as 'George Best', 'Seamonsters' and 'Take Fountain' they grew into an intriguing outfit drawing on influences from The Fall and The Buzzcocks and adding their unique stamp to remain as relevant now as almost 40 years ago.During 2026 The Wedding Present will be playing a series of concert dates to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the release of their pivotal long-player, Seamonsters.Following the release of Seamonsters-which was recorded by the legendary Steve Albini in twelve days during 1991-The Guardian noted that: "Albini has given The Wedding Present considerable weight, with Gedge's voice trickling between banks of scowling guitars"and went onto feature it in its list of '1,000 albums to hear before you die'.
