Feeder Announce Bristol O2 Academy show on 10 October 2016

Posted on: 05 Jul 2016

British rock heroes Feeder will play the Bristol O2 Academy on 10 October 2016.  Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 8 July. This 14-date tour is their first in four years and will be in support of the new album due to be announced in the coming weeks.

 

Following lead singer/guitarist and chief songwriter Grant Nicholas’s recent, critically acclaimed solo releases ‘Yorktown Heights’ and ‘Black Clouds’, which saw Grant play a host of shows with a very different, ‘lo-fi’ line up, the Feeder frontman says he feels re-invigorated, and in the best creative space of his life.


 
Nicholas commented: "We are really looking forward to getting out there on the road again and feel reborn after our break. Isle of Wight Festival reminded us how good it is to be back playing together, and the loyalty of our fans is truly immense”. “We’re back and really excited to let people hear these new songs”


  
Feeder first shot to fame when their debut EP ‘Swim’ was released to huge critical acclaim in 1996. Since then they’ve had 25 Top 40 hits with the likes of ‘Feeling A Moment, ‘Just The Way I’m Feeling’, ‘Just A Day’ and ‘Buck Rogers’ and amassed over 5 million record sales along with 3 Platinum and 2 Gold Albums.


  
Since 2012’s ‘Generation Freakshow’, the band has appeared at a number of UK festivals, performed at Hyde Park to celebrate the 2012 Olympics and headlined London’s O2 Academy Brixton before announcing they were taking some time off. Feeder’s autumn tour will see the band revisit some of their biggest hits whilst also performing tracks from their forthcoming new studio album, which fans have been waiting on tenterhooks for.

 

Tickets are on-sale from 10am on Friday 8th July priced at £22.50 and are available from the Bristol O2 Academy ticketing site.
