Last Wednesday, Botanique was the place to be as The Wombats wrapped up the EU-UK leg of their tour with a bang. Opening the night with infectious energy, Red Rum Club set the tone with their brass-filled bangers, warming up the crowd with a vibe that felt both intimate and electric.

The Wombats, riding high on the release of their latest album, delivered a tightly packed, feel-good set bursting with energy. Fans were treated to a special moment when the audience-voted song 1996 made it onto the setlist, bringing a wave of nostalgia and joy. In one of the night’s standout surprises, Kill the Director turned into an acapella sing-along, with the crowd proudly taking the lead.

Of course, what’s a final show without a little chaos? A mid-song guitar failure didn’t break the momentum — it only added to the night’s charm. And yes, actual dancing wombats made an appearance on stage, adding a surreal and playful twist to the show.

The encore was nothing short of perfect: Can’t Say No, Turn, and an emotional, hands-in-the-air performance of Greek Tragedy to close things out.

A special shoutout to the fans — incredibly kind and respectful, even helping each other (and me!) snap a shot of the setlist.
