Currently in the middle of their first national UK tour, Twisted Wheel have announced an additional series of dates throughout May, June & July that will see them perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, 2 shows at the Great Escape festival in Brighton, the Dot to Dot festival in Bristol & Nottingham, a series of dates as special guests to the Pigeon Detectives and finishing up with a brace of their own dates in early June/July, with more festival appearances to be announced in the coming weeks.

Twisted Wheel release their debut single this week, (live favourite ‘She’s A Weapon’ backed with ‘Big Issue’), already dubbed ‘the hottest record in the world right now’ by Radio 1’s Zane Lowe.
