Kim Wilde: Fourth visit to York Barbican in less than a decade
EIGHTIES’ pop queen Kim Wilde will conclude her 13-date Singles Tour at York Barbican on March 28 2027.
Definitely not alone now, she will be supported by Nashville singer, songwriter, producer, cookery book author, Let’s Food With Tiffany cooking club hostess and The Masked Singer participant Tiffany.
Wilde played York Barbican previously on her Here Come The Aliens tour in April 2018, Greatest Hits 2020 tour in September 2020 and Closer tour in March 2025.
The chart-topping, BRIT Award-winning Londoner, now 65, tours consistently with her brother and co-writer Ricky and their family band, performing such up-tempo synth pop hits as Kids In America, Chequered Love, Water On Glass, Cambodia, View From A Bridge, You Keep Me Hangin’ On, You Came, Never Trust A Stranger, Four Letter Word and If I can’t Have You.
Boys, Love Blonde, The Second Time, Rage To Love, Another Step, Say You Really Want Me, Love In The Natural Way, Love Is Holy and Heart Over Mind could all feature too.
Wilde, daughter of 1950s’ rock’n’roll legend Marty Wilde, continue to release new songs of edge, love and high energy, as well as appearing in her own radio and television shows and being an award-winning gardener.
Foo Fighters covered Kids In America on their Songs From The Laundry EP for Record Store Day in 2015, 24 years after frontman Dave Grohl first recorded a demo.
Support act Tiffany covered Wilde’s 1981 debut hit too on 2007’s I Think We’re Alone Now: ’80s Hits And More album.
Born on October 2 1971, Tiffany Renee Darwish grew up with an alcoholic mother and now supports mental health awareness and sobriety. Like Wilde, she is an advocate for female empowerment and body image, after experiencing the trials and tribulations of being in the media spotlight from their teenage years to midlife.
At the age of 16, Tiffany topped the UK charts for three weeks in 1988 with her cover of Tommy James & The Shondells’ 1967 hit I Think We’re Alone Now.
Wilde and Tiffany will play Sheffield City Hall too on May 27 2027. Tickets will go on sale on Friday at 10am at https://www.yorkbarbican.co.uk/whats-on/kim-wilde-2027/; https://www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk/kim-wilde/.
