Following the success of their sold out show at Open in October, country music duo Ward Thomas have announced they will be returning to Norwich in 2017.

Twins Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas will be back to carry you home in 2017 as they embark on a Spring 2017 tour in April and May.

The country music duo from Hampshire will be stopping off at Open on Friday, May 5 to perform songs from their second album Cartwheels, which was released in September.

Upon release the album shot straight to No. 1 in the UK charts causing the group to make history by becoming the first ever British country act to achieve the top spot. Moreover, the album retained its place in the top five for three weeks.

Many fans of the 22-year-olds missed out on tickets for their recent 16 date tour which also saw them perform a sold out show in Norwich on Friday, October 7 accompanied by soulful vocalist Scarlet Billham.

Ward Thomas' Spring Cartwheels Tour is set to feature 22 gigs and will take the sisters to Cambridge and Northampton as well as to London Shepherd's Bush Empire where they will perform their biggest headline show to date on May 10.

Tickets for the Cartwheels Tour 2017 will be available from the UEA box office on Friday, November 11 at 9am. Visit www.ueaticketbooking.co.uk for more information.
