Ward Thomas Confirmed for Isle of Wight Festival 2019

Record making County-Pop duo are having fantastic 2019 so far. The twins who turned 25 yesterday (March 28th) kicked off the year in style with the release of their top-ten all genre third studio album ‘Restless Minds’ which dropped on February 8th via Sony/WTW Music and showcased their best body of work to date.

The girls are also currently touring the UK in support of the record which followed their 2016 record making number 1 album ‘Cartwheels’, they have so far hit cities including Cardiff, Bristol, Manchester and more on their biggest headline string of dates to date, and will bring the Restless Minds Tour to Birmingham on Monday (April 1st) after a short break in their hectic schedule.

Along with extensive touring, Ward Thomas also became only the second UK Country Act to be honoured with the prestigious CMA Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award following in the footsteps of fellow British Country trailblazers The Shires. Catherine and Lizzy were given their award by superstar performer Cam at C2C’s 2019 Songwriter’s Series in London earlier this month.
