The Wombats are bringing their A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation 20th anniversary tour to North America in spring 2027. The Liverpool indie rock trio will perform their 2007 debut album in full each night, followed by a second set of hits and fan favorites from later albums including Fix Yourself, Not the World.
The North American leg follows the UK and European run and hits major markets from late April through mid-May. Presales begin around October 21, 2026 (local time), with general on-sale typically following on October 23. Check Ticketmaster and the band’s official site thewombats.co.uk for the latest links and any artist or venue presale codes.

Here is the confirmed itinerary (sourced from announcements including Exclaim! and venue/Ticketmaster listings):
- April 26, 2027 – Toronto, ON – History
- April 28, 2027 – Boston, MA – Citizens House of Blues
- April 29, 2027 – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Paramount

- May 5, 2027 – Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue
- May 7, 2027 – Austin, TX – Scoot Inn

- May 19, 2027 – Seattle, WA – Showbox at the Market
These are mostly mid-size venues (House of Blues, 9:30 Club, Wiltern, First Avenue, etc.), which tend to sell out quickly for anniversary tours. Demand is expected to be highest in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Toronto.
Where to Buy Cheap Tickets
Primary (best for face value):
- Ticketmaster – Primary seller for most dates. Sign up for artist/venue alerts and use any official presale password from the band’s site or email list.
- Venue box offices and official links on thewombats.co.uk/live.
Tips for the lowest prices:
- Sign up for the band’s mailing list and follow @thewombats for presale codes.
- Be ready at the exact presale start time (typically 10 a.m. local).
- Buy 3-day or multi-city packages only if you need them—single-city GA is usually cheapest.
- Compare fees across listings; all-in pricing is required in many markets.
- Avoid early secondary listings—prices often drop closer to the show if demand softens, but anniversary tours can stay elevated.
Verified secondary markets (if primary sells out):
SeatGeek, StubHub, Capital City Tickets, and Nashville Ticket Brokers. Always check all-in prices and buyer protection. Prices will vary by city; smaller rooms (Scoot Inn in Austin, Ogden in Denver) may stay more affordable than Brooklyn Paramount or The Wiltern.
What to Expect at the Shows
Each night is a two-part set: the full A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation (including “Let’s Dance to Joy Division,” “Moving to New York,” and “Kill the Director”), then a hits-heavy second half. Support acts have been announced for select dates (e.g., The Lathums in Los Angeles). These are general-admission or mixed seating venues, so arriving early helps for better sightlines in GA rooms.
Quick Buying Checklist
- Confirm the exact on-sale time for your city on Ticketmaster or the venue site.
- Have multiple devices and payment methods ready.
- Check bag policies, age restrictions, and parking/transit options for each venue.
- Monitor the official site and Ticketmaster for any added dates or restocks.
The Wombats’ 2027 North American run is a rare chance to hear their breakthrough album played straight through in rooms that suit the band’s energetic live show. Primary tickets during the October presale and general on-sale will almost always be the cheapest option—act quickly for the highest-demand cities.
