Stoke 100: The Wombats with support from Pale Waves and Red Rum Club
Stoke 100 at Trentham: A fun music weekend filled with big music stars celebrating 100 years of city status!
The Wombats, one of the UK’s most celebrated indie bands, are known for their sharp lyrics and danceable anthems. Their latest album, Fix Yourself, Not The World, topped the UK charts in 2022, and their new record, Oh! The Ocean, is set for release in February 2025. Look forward to a mix of fresh tracks and favourites such as ‘Let’s Dance to Joy Division’ and ‘Moving to New York’ being performed. Support comes from Manchester’s Pale Waves, whose emotionally charged alt-pop sound has made them a leading name in British indie music. Their 2024 album, Smitten, reflects frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie’s journey of love and self-discovery, earning them widespread acclaim. Opening the evening is Liverpool’s Red Rum Club, whose brass-infused “Mariachi Merseybeat” style saw their latest album, Western Approaches, break into the UK Top 10 earlier this year.
