POP legends Wet Wet Wet are joining the bill for Tatton Park Concerts by the Lake taking place this July replacing Swedish act Roxette.

The Glasgow lads have an incredible back catalogue that includes four chart-topping albums and 13 Top 10 UK singles – including three number ones – making them one of the most successful bands in British pop history.

They will play Tatton on Friday, July 29.

The band replace rock legends Roxette who had to cancel their appearance while singer Marie Fredrikkson takes time off from touring for health reasons.

The Tatton Park Concerts by Lake festival is being organised by promoters Cuffe and Taylor.

Director Peter Taylor said: “Wet Wet Wet are one of the most successful British pop bands of all time. Having performed for over three decades their songs have provided a soundtrack to many people’s youth and beyond, and they sound as fresh and as vibrant today as they ever have.

“Their recent UK tour was fantastic and proved, once again, that they are an incredible live act with an almost unequalled jukebox of classic pop hits which everyone knows and loves.

“Having the boys perform at Tatton Park on Friday, July 29 further enhances the fantastic line up for the three day festival. We are of course saddened that Roxette could not join us but are sure that people will be delighted with this outstanding new addition to the bill.”

Wet Wet Wet – Graeme Clark, Tommy Cunningham, Neil Mitchell and Marti Pellow – have sold in excess of 15 million singles and albums to date and have featured in the UK official singles and album charts for an immense 510 weeks.

Their recent Big Picture tour was a critical and commercial smash with packed venues across the UK and both audiences and reviewers giving the shows five star ratings.
