The Wedding Present unveils North American dates for ‘Bizarro’ 21st anniversary tour

Today The Wedding Present unveiled North American dates for its worldwide tour marking the 21st anniversary of 1989’s Bizarro, the band’s second album and major-label debut. The previously announced Bizarro 21st Anniversary Tour — featuring David Gedge and Co. playing that album in its entirety, much like the band’s 2007 George Best 20th Anniversary Tour — hits North America for 16 concerts between April 1 to 24, before resuming in Europe for as-yet-unannounced dates running from Oct. 11 to Dec. 7.
