May 19, 2010Mojo (not quite) working

It appears that whoever booked Wire for the "Mojo Magazine Honors Show" got their dates confused and while we were informed that the show would be on the 9th June it appears that by 9th they actually meant 8th! so the show is actually taking place on the 8th June. Our sincere apaologies to anyone this has inconvenienced. We can also conform this will be a full set.

Meanwhile the 12th studio album is progressing nicely and we hope for a release date in January 2011.

March 07, 2010French Warm Up Dates

Wire will be playing a series of French dates (our first dates since October 2009 and our first series of French dates ever) as a warm up for the appearance at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona now confirmed for the 28th May.

Expect a couple more dates to be added before Paris.

January 19, 2010Primavera

We are announcing today that Wire will be included in this year's Primavera Sound festival. This will be both a return to Spain, where Wire played a very successful set of dates last October, and a return to Primavera which Wire played last in May 2003. As the band will not have played live in over 6 months expect a series of warm up shows beforehand.

Wire is currently engaged in writing & recording towards the next album.
