Ward XVI

The Inmates have had an insane summer with a number of festival shows across the UK. The planning for 2024 has already begun.    

Live Review : Diablo Swing Orchestra + Ward XVI @ The Bread Shed, Manchester on May 19th 2023 — ROCKFLESH  We had the privilege of supporting our heroes Diablo Swing Orchestra in May-and it went down a treat.   Read the review above.  

WARD XVI reveal live performance video for: ‘IMAGO’ to celebrate the end of the Metamorphosis era. Ward XVI have released a new video for their song Imago, which features footage from Bloodstock open air 2021 and their sold-out album launch gig at Manchester academy 3. IMAGO was the first single released from their 2020 album metamorphosis, but as the release occurred midway through Covid Lockdown, it could only be accompanied by a lyric video, but now that they have completed their UK wide album tour, Ward XVI have been able to showcase a live performance video that not only shows their scale of their theatrical stage show, but also celebrates their inmates who are integral to their show. The video was put together by Forshaw media who have also filmed all of the theatrical videos to the other singles released from Metamorphosis, and now that they have completed the Metamorphosis UK tour, Ward XVI have begun writing the third and final instalment of their trilogy based upon the exploits of the female serial killer ‘Psychoberrie’  

Ward XVI will take the show to SAVFEST at the Victoria Bikers pub – Coalville in August 2023
