Ward Thomas – Cartwheels 10th Anniversary UK Tour 2026

With special guests: The Wandering Hearts

Ten years ago, Ward Thomas rewrote the rules of UK country with Cartwheels—an album that didn’t just top charts, but carved out a new space for British voices in a genre long dominated by Nashville. In 2026, Catherine and Lizzy return with their full band to celebrate the record that defined a generation of UK country fans. The Cartwheels 10th Anniversary Tour promises a night of nostalgia, storytelling, and the unmistakable harmonies that first made audiences fall in love.

From the soaring choruses of “Carry You Home” to the tender intimacy of “Cartwheels,” this tour is a chance to relive the songs that became the soundtrack to countless journeys, heartbreaks, and celebrations. Expect a setlist that honours the past while embracing the duo’s ever-evolving artistry.

Joining them are The Wandering Hearts, whose rich harmonies and heartfelt songwriting have made them one of the UK’s most beloved Americana outfits. Together, these two acts embody the spirit of modern country—rooted in tradition, yet unafraid to push boundaries.

Why you’ll love this show

If you like the timeless harmonies of The Dixie Chicks or the heartfelt storytelling of Kacey Musgraves, you’ll be swept away by Ward Thomas’ ability to blend Nashville polish with British authenticity. Reviewers of previous shows have called their performances “a masterclass in harmony-driven country” and “an emotional journey that leaves the audience both uplifted and moved.”
