Wendy James, the iconic voice of Transvision Vamp and fearless solo artist, is back on the road this October with a UK tour that promises a wild ride through her eclectic musical journey. Whether you’re a die-hard fan from the Baby I Don’t Care days or discovering her genre-hopping solo work for the first time, here’s why you’ll want to grab a ticket…

1. Two Chances to Catch Her in London

Wendy’s tour bookends London with two shows:

• 29th October at One Ninety Four

These intimate London dates are perfect for fans who want to experience her raw energy up close — and they’re bound to sell out fast!

2. A Killer Band Featuring Rock Royalty

Wendy’s not hitting the stage alone. Her live band includes some seriously heavyweight musicians:

This lineup guarantees a live show that’s musically tight and full of fire.

3. Celebrating Her New Album The Shape of History

The tour supports Wendy’s brand new album, The Shape of History. Critics have called it:

“The confidence of a musician who has paid her dues and emerged liberated by unfettered creativity.” – ★★★★ The Scotsman

The record blends everything from punk roots to lush production, and Wendy’s set will feature tracks spanning her entire career — new gems alongside the classics.

• Smash hits with Transvision Vamp in the late 80s and 90s
