“Minds have been well and truly blown in camp Wagons; we write and perform but it’s the biggest, most heartfelt thanks we send to the amazing people who have parted with their hard earned cash to buy our music, you have made Massive Wagons an official part of rock history, that’s never going away and we are extremely proud of all of our fans.”

The band played a special acoustic set in Lancaster HMV on Monday, which was attended by around 70 fans.

Massive Wagons’ new album Full Nelson showcases the evolution of the band’s song writing both sonically and lyrically.

Off the back of an extremely active 2018, and to support the release of the album, Massive Wagons will continue to play across the UK after the summer and throughout autumn and winter.
