King Tide is the fifth studio album released by Australian rock band Weddings Parties Anything. The album was released in October 1993 on the RooArt label and peaked at No. 20 on the ARIA Album Charts.[2]

Billy Bragg provides the vocals with Mick Thomas on "Island of Humour".[3] "Stalactites" marks the first occasion when all members collaborated on the writing of a WPA song[1] and it refers to a well known Melbourne restaurant.[4]

The first single from the album, "Monday's Experts", released in August 1993, peaked at No. 45 on the ARIA Singles Charts.[5] The two subsequent singles, "The Rain in My Heart" (December 1993) and "Island of Humour" (January 1994) however failed to chart.
