Latest acts to perform at Wakefield Exchange announced

Wakefield Exchange (WX) has unveiled the latest acts set to take to the stage, including legendary rock and roll group Showaddywaddy and acclaimed comedian and television presenter Joel Dommett. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 17 April.

Tickets are also currently on sale for iconic synth-pop pioneers Heaven 17 and popular comedian Russell Kane.

WX Live launched last year as a major new concert series bringing world-class live experiences to Wakefield. The programme opened with an unforgettable performance from Corinne Bailey Rae, followed by a sold-out show from Wakefield’s very own Skinny Living.

The excitement continues this summer as iconic synth-pop pioneers Heaven 17 prepare to perform on 8 July. Audiences can expect a night filled with fan favourites including “Temptation”, alongside the rich electronic soundscapes and unmistakable vocals that have defined the band for more than four decades. Tickets for Heaven 17 are on sale now.

WX has now confirmed that rock and roll sensation Showaddywaddy will join the line-up on 15 October. Formed in 1970, the band has sold more than 20 million records worldwide, touring internationally with their signature high-energy sound. Their appearance at Wakefield Exchange promises to be a must-see event for fans old and new.

In addition to live music, WX has built a strong following for its monthly comedy night. Following its growing success, two major comedy specials have been announced. Russell Kane will take to the stage on 27 June, with tickets already on sale. Just announced, Joel Dommett, Masked Singer presenter and renowned stand-up, will headline a Halloween comedy special on 31 October.
