Brendan B Brown, Wheatus frontman, 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.
"I think that's been for the best because now we're enjoying something we never thought we'd see.
"The feelings of gratitude are overwhelming."
Wheatus, who have shared stages with Alice Cooper, Blondie, Busted, and The 1975, and many more, have established themselves as a much-loved band with a legion of fans.
The band's hit song, Teenage Dirtbag, has more than 337 million views on YouTube and was even at the centre of a TikTok trend in 2022.
The song also made a surprise return to the UK Official Top 40 Singles Chart in 2023.
Brendan said: "No matter what level we've been at, and it's been all over the place for us these 25 years - the English, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish audiences, in particular the smaller towns, have always been super keen.
"It's as if they won't let you have a bad show."
As well as performing all their debut album hits, the band will also be picking fan requests at every show for any other songs from their three-decade career.

Brown said: "Having cultivated the all-request, no set-list format has meant all the shows, no matter the size, remain intimate, unpredictable and guided by the moods of the crowd.
"Which to us is infinitely more exciting to us than rehearsed set-lists could ever be.'
"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.
"On the US leg of this tour, we were regularly doing over 20 songs as well as some improv acoustics - all very unpredictable."
Tickets for Wheatus's 2025 UK tour are now on sale and available to be purchased from the band's official website.

When is Wednesday season 2 released on Netflix?
Wednesday season two will be released in two parts on Netflix The countdown is nearly at an end for the much-anticipated second season of Wednesday on Netflix. The series is set to grace screens across the globe imminently, promising fans another dose of its delightfully dark storytelling, reports the Mirror US. Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams, navigating the eerie corridors of Nevermore Academy with a fresh mystery to unravel in season two. Not only will viewers get more of the stoic and sharp-witted teenager and her pals, but they'll also see more of her eccentric family this time around, along with an A-list cast. Wednesday made its debut in 2022, offering a fresh take on the classic Addams Family saga. The first season was an instant hit, quickly becoming Netflix's second most-watched English-language series within just three weeks of release. The show garnered two Golden Globe Award nods and scooped up four Primetime Emmy Awards. Following its success, Wednesday was renewed for a second season in 2023, and more recently, in July 2025, Netflix confirmed a third season of Wednesday before the second had even aired. Reflecting on the show's impact, leading lady Ortega remarked: "It's still quite difficult to comprehend. I see the effects and changes that it's had on my life and my castmates' lives, but it's something that you're very detached from." She added: "If you see a number, it looks kind of crazy, but it's not like I've seen it in a room or anything like that." Ortega also shared her personal measure of success, saying: "I just try not to pay too much attention to that stuff because success for me is more about feeling accomplished and being able to put something out into the world and feel proud. "It's wonderful that it's been received so well, because there's a lot of pressure." She added: "When we started the show, I was 18 and had never worked with a director as big as Tim. I had led a show before, but not with a character that was so well known and loved prior to me joining. "It's a relief, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I still don't feel super anxious or feel like I have something I need to live up to every day on set. Maybe that's a good thing, but it hasn't gotten easier." Here's what you need to know about the release schedule for the show on Netflix. What time does Wednesday season 2 come out on Netflix UK? In the UK, Wednesday season two will see the first four episodes dropping on Wednesday, August 6. The show will be launched simultaneously worldwide, though the exact time will differ based on your location. In the UK, the second season of Wednesday will be available on Netflix at 8am British Summer Time (BST) on the release day. Viewers can indulge in the first four episodes all at once, but they'll have to wait for the latter half of the season. It's anticipated that part one will conclude with a cliffhanger, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next batch of episodes. The second part of Wednesday's second season will be released on Wednesday, September 3 at 8am BST. This second part includes episodes five through eight, which can also be binged in one sitting. What time does Wednesday season 2 drop on Netflix US? For those in the US, Wednesday season two, part one will hit your screens at midnight Pacific Standard Time (PT) on Wednesday, August 6, if you're situated on the Western Seaboard. Netflix typically releases new content at midnight PT since its headquarters are in California, which is in this time zone. East Coast viewers can start watching season two of Wednesday from 3am on the release date. Likewise, Wednesday season two, part two will become available at midnight PT on Wednesday, September 3, translating to 3am Eastern Time (ET) for viewers on the opposite coast. Wednesday season 2, part 1 is released on August 6 on Netflix and part 2 is released on September 3
