The Wombats will perform at Bergenfest, Thursday 12th of june 2025!
In their third decade as a band, The Wombats are a rare exception in the music industry, with still the same lineup since the beginning: Matthew "Murph" Murphy, Tord Øverland Knudsen, and Dan Haggis. From their breakthrough with "A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation" in 2007 to their first number one album "Fix Yourself, Not the World" in 2022, they have evolved from British indie favorites to a genre-defying global success. With millions of streams, sold-out arena shows, and an ever-growing audience, they have proven that the energy in their music remains as youthful as it was twenty years ago. They have made generations of listeners dance to "Let’s Dance to Joy Division", sing along to "Greek Tragedy", and connect with Murph’s introspective lyrics about anxiety, relationships, and existential turmoil.
Now they are entering a new era with "Oh! The Ocean", set for release on February 14, 2025, their sixth and most adventurous album yet, recorded live in the studio with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Death Cab for Cutie). The Wombats remain as captivating and relevant as ever, and with a fanbase that continues to grow, they are ready to deliver a live experience at Bergenfest that blends experience, playfulness, and timeless indie energy.
