British country act Ward Thomas have announced a major UK tour for 2026 in celebration of their landmark album Cartwheels.
Taking place throughout September this year - and including a special date at the iconic London Palladium - the tour will see twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas perform the album in its entirety backed by a full band, revisiting the record that made history as the first ever by a British country act to reach No.1 on the UK Albums Chart.
Released in 2016, Cartwheels was the Hampshire duo’s second album and the record that propelled them from emerging singer-songwriters to trailblazers of a new British country-pop sound.
Written between home and Nashville, the album showcased their sharp lyrical storytelling and effortless harmonies, with standout singles including Carry You Home, Guilty Flowers and the title track Cartwheels. The Guardian hailed the record as “a slick slice of country pop”.
