Wheatus are set to play in Southampton as part of their 25th-anniversary tour.

The New York band will perform their million-selling debut album, Wheatus, in full at The 1865 on December 7.

Frontman Brendan B Brown, best known for the megahit Teenage Dirtbag, said: "It feels truly strange and wonderful.

"We've never had the opportunity to take this career for granted - in fact, most of it has been a desperate attempt to keep it going, thinking it would all end any day, but that's not how it turned out.

"The feelings of gratitude are overwhelming. The band will also take fan requests at every show."

He added: "The entire first record is ready to go and will definitely be performed every night, but never in the same order.

"We'll be doing the songs as they are shouted out by the crowd."
