Wheatus are set to bring a wave of nostalgia to fans across the UK and Ireland this winter, as the band announces a 2025 tour to mark the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, the record that gave the world the unforgettable anthem Teenage Dirtbag.
Originally released in 2000, Wheatus catapulted the New York rockers into global fame, thanks to the massive success of Teenage Dirtbag, a track that has become a generational singalong staple. The single peaked at Number Two on the UK Singles Chart, and has since been certified quadruple platinum, cementing its legacy as one of the most iconic tracks of the early 2000s.
Now, 25 years later, the band is honouring their breakthrough moment with a special UK and Ireland tour in November and December 2025, where they’ll perform the album in its entirety every night, alongside a setlist peppered with fan-requested favourites from their expansive three-decade career.
“United Kingdom and Ireland – you’ve been patient enough. We are officially bringing our 25th anniversary tour to you this November and December,” the band wrote on Instagram, sparking a wave of excitement among long-time followers and new fans alike.
The tour will kick off on November 23 at The Academy in Dublin, making stops in Belfast, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, and more, before wrapping up with a special London show at OVO Arena Wembley on December 13, where they’ll be joined by fellow pop-punk favourites Bowling For Soup.

This anniversary tour promises to be a celebration of the band’s journey, offering fans a chance to relive the soundtrack of their youth, and to belt out Teenage Dirtbag one more time, louder than ever
