British rockers THE WILDHEARTS will release “Renaissance Men” on May 3 May, their first full-length studio album in 10 years.

To coincide with the release of “Renaissance Men”, THE WILDHEARTS‘ classic lineup of Ginger, CJ, Ritchie and Danny will play an eight-date U.K. tour. This intimate trek will start in Manchester at the Academy 2 on Friday, May 3 and conclude at the Riverside in Newcastle on Sunday, May 12.

“Well, fuck me, it’s only been 10 years since our last release and we have a monster album on its way,” CJ said. “Danny is back in the band and we hit the road in May, playing new tunes and all the old hits. Can’t wait and I know the boys are super bloody excited for this. ROCK!”

Creatively brilliant, THE WILDHEARTS play a distinctive fusion of hard rock, perfectly complemented by contemporary melodies.

With a career spanning nearly 30 years THE WILDHEARTS helped change the landscape of British rock through the ’90s, and to this day they haven’t shown any sign of slowing down.
