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.

Katherine Ryan faces fresh neighbour battle after husband Bobby's dream garden is ruined over the bank holiday
KATHERINE Ryan has opened up on drama with her new neighbour after her husband Bobby Kootstra's dream garden was left ruined. The comedienne, 41 - who has a background in urban planning - bought her swanky London mansion back in 2019. 6 Katherine Ryan has revealed her garden horror after her husband's outdoor space was left ruined Credit: PA 6 The comedienne and spouse Bobby Kootstra live in a London mansion Credit: PA 6 Yet she told how she was left with a huge tree in her garden during the Bank Holiday weekend Credit: Instagram/@kathbum She previously welcomed her third child during a home water birth at her pad in the English capital yet, despite the happy memories, issues with a host of neighbours have caused niggles. We previously reported how the stand-up had complained to the council in 2022 after her neighbours built a balcony overlooking her swimming pool. Now, Katherine has told how a different male neighbour on the other side of the fence caused issues over the recent Bank Holiday weekend. In her podcast, the Canadian described her outdoor space as "a beautiful garden that my husband takes such good pride in." Yet detailing the "big drama" to come, she told how their new neighbour had informed them he would be doing some gardening work ahead of their family trip to Costco. Her eldest daughter Violet, 15, stayed at home yet rung her parent to tell her "there is a giant tree in our garden." In the frantic call she told her: "The neighbours are chopping down trees, does Bobby want to see a photo?" Katherine then tells her: "I show Bobby the photo, a giant tree has fallen over and through our fence and is in the garden. "You can see many other trees were cut at the tree line." Katherine Ryan says she's planning £174k facelift at 41 as she reveals exactly when she'll get it done She told how it was a "big change" to their landscape and added: "Those trees have been around a long time, as someone with a planning background we are in a conservation area." She then reverted back to explaining her spouse's reaction, telling her Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything listeners: "Now we have got an entire tree in our f**king garden and Bobby is having a meltdown in the Costco. "Not angry just looking really sad, then he got quiet. I had to take the children away from the trolley." She then told how he had a chat with the neighbour when they got home, and arranged to have some more surveys done before any more trees were chopped down. Katherine added: "He loves nature and the garden and the shade those trees provided "He just takes a lot of pride in his garden "I don't think Bobby would chop down anything without telling a neighbour. "My concern is I have small children and dogs, if a giant tree is fell in our garden there are safe ways to do that." She added of her partner: "It just ruined the day, it's like his sports team had lost." The pair entered into a civil partnership in Denmark in 2019. She shares son Fred, three, and daughter Fenna, two, with her spouse - as well as Violet from a previous relationship - yet has spoken of her desire for a fourth child. 6 Katherine bought the property in 2019 Credit: UKTV 6 Her eldest daughter Violet, 15, broke the news of the tree in their garden - which had been felled by a new neighbour Credit: PA

Jamie Carragher reveals why PSG's Luis Enrique is refusing to speak to him and CBS Sports before Champions League final
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAMIE CARRAGHER is getting the cold shoulder from Luis Enrique ahead of the Champions League final. The former England centre-back, 47, will be part of CBS' coverage of the showpiece in Munich on Saturday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Jamie Carragher has revealed why Luis Enrique is not speaking to him or CBS Credit: TikTok / itscalledsoccerus 3 The PSG boss is targeting history on Saturday in Munich Credit: Getty 3 Enrique wasn't impressed as Carragher wore a Dortmund scarf in the Mix Zone after a game against PSG last year Credit: Instagram Enrique's PSG take on Inter Milan and hope to win their first ever Champions League crown. But the Spanish boss is set to swerve speaking to either Carragher or the CBS crew. Carragher joined Borussia Dortmund's ultras for a game against PSG in last year's tournament. The Liverpool legend sank EIGHT pints with the fans on Dortmund's iconic Yellow Wall. He later appeared live on air looking a little worse for wear. Carragher was wearing a Dortmund scarf in the Mix Zone for the post-match interviews. And the move didn't go down well with Enrique. Carragher told It's Called Soccer podcast: "Luis Enrique, at the moment, won't speak to us. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK "Because last season, I was in Dortmund when his team lost to Borussia Dortmund. "I was in the mixed zone with a Borussia Dortmund scarf on, so that didn't go down particularly well with Luis." Jamie Carragher interviews Jadon Sancho on live TV after EIGHT PINTS and CBS Sports studio cannot bear to watch Carragher was "in the sin bin" following the incident, according to his CBS colleague Peter Schmeichel. Speaking during the broadcast, the ex-Man Utd keeper said: "Seriously, he's upset every person here. "First of all, we were supposed to have Luis Enrique. "And he came in and said, 'Hello' and then he left because Jamie was wearing a Dortmund scarf." Prior to his light-hearted feud with the CBS crew, Enrique appeared on the network's post-game show last season. The 55-year-old called out Micah Richards and the rest of the panel for predicting his team would lose to Barcelona. Enrique joked: "I'm really upset with all of you! "I watched on YouTube, all of you predicted that Barcelona were going through to the next phase. "Nobody believed in our possibilities. How sad I am, how sad I am."

Meet Britain's 'smartest' siblings who joined Mensa
Twins Krish and Keira Arora, from Hounslow, London, became members of the highly exclusive society just six months apart. Krish took the IQ test in November at the age of 10, after he was inspired by his role model Young Sheldon - the main character in the Big Bang prequel series. He scored a mind-boggling 162 - a result which makes him smarter than Albert Einstein, who is believed to have had an IQ of 160. Meanwhile, Keira decided she wanted to give the Mensa admission a go after seeing that her brother had been accepted. Krish is smarter than Albert Einstein. (Image: SWNS) She became a member this May at the age of 11, thanks to her impressive score of 152. Only people with IQs in the top 2% of the global population qualify for Mensa. Krish said: "I was ecstatic when I got my result. Really, really happy." Keira added: "I wanted to try the test once Krish got his results. I felt a bit of pressure but I was pleased when I did it." Krish is a maths whizz and recently taught himself the Year 9 syllabus in just 22 days, despite only being in Year 6. In his spare time, he enjoys robotics and coding, and reached Grade 8 piano after just two years of playing. Both siblings are part of Mensa. (Image: SWNS) Keira on the other hand loves English, poetry, and music - and is the lead singer of her school band. At the age of 11, her favourite book is Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre - and she recently wrote a poem from the perspective of an AI tool. Krish said: "My maths teacher gave me the syllabus for Key Stage 3 and I taught myself. "I don't want to go too far ahead though, such as into GCSEs and A-levels, because I want to stay with my friends." Keira agreed. She said: "I don't find school academically challenging, but I still enjoy going as I get to spend time with my friends." The genius duo will in September be starting secondary school, with Krish headed off to elite grammar school Queen Elizabeth's and Keira beginning her studies at highly-selective Tiffin Girl's School. Keira starts secondary school in September. (Image: SWNS) Keira said: "I'm a bit scared because I've always been with Krish. But I'm also a bit relieved because it gets a little competitive." Although they are only just starting Year 7, Krish and Keira already have big plans for their futures. Krish said: "I want to study maths at Cambridge and then do something maths-related, like an actuary." Keira said: "I want to study English and Law at Oxford, and then become a commercial lawyer. "I think it will suit me because I'm good at negotiating, like with Krish over the TV remote." Parents Mauli and Nischal, who between them have degrees in computer science, electrical engineering, and business administration, admitted that there were some early signs of the twins' intelligence. The two hope to go to Cambridge and Oxford. (Image: SWNS) Mum Mauli, who is a senior manager at an IT company, said: "We noticed earlier with Krish. His reading speed was far beyond his age and his spelling was very accurate. "When we'd put on YouTube for him, he'd be watching maths tutorials - and by the age of four he was doing complex divisions. "He also had a lot of patience. It's rare for a four-year-old to sit still and do maths equations for half an hour. "With Keira, she was such a lively and playful child that we didn't really notice until later. "But with her 11+ exams, we noticed her approach to complex questions - and then she started getting feedback on her writing. "Teachers say she already writes like an author. She puts such emotion into her stories. It's well beyond her age." Mauli said that she and dad Nischal, who used to be a management consultant but is now a private landlord, are very proud of their kids - although admittedly a little shocked by how everything has unfolded. She said: "We're quite speechless a lot of the time about everything. "It does put pressure on us as parents as we want to make sure we keep exposing them to things that interest them. "But it's amazing for them as when we took them to their Mensa exam, they were the only kids. Everyone else was an adult. "No one else in the family is a member of Mensa - and we're not interested in taking the test. Recommended Reading "Imagine if we didn't pass! "I'm not as brave as Keira was - trying after Krish got accepted." This July, Krish and Keira are heading to their first Mensa event - where they have been invited to meet with various admissions officers from Oxford and Cambridge University. Their other summer plans include games of chess and monopoly, which they admit get a bit "competitive", as well as a rewatch of their favourite film - the 'twin classic' The Parent Trap.
