British country act Ward Thomas have announced a major UK tour for 2026 in celebration of their landmark album Cartwheels. The tour will see twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas perform the album in its entirety backed by 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”. The Cartwheels 10th Anniversary Tour will bring the sisters’ trademark harmonies and heartfelt songwriting back to stages across the UK, celebrating a decade since the release of the album that helped open doors for the UK country scene. Special guests for the tour will be fellow British country luminaries, The Wandering Hearts, who have won plaudits both sides of the Atlantic for their blend of Americana, folk and country which has seen them being recognised with the UK Americana Award for Best Emerging Artist.

Venue: Cambridge Corn Exchange.
