The Feeling to play Wolverhampton before hiatus

They've enjoyed a decade of sold out shows and played to a quarter of a million people across Europe as the hand-picked support to Jeff Lynne's ELO.

But now The Feeling are giving themselves a year off after announcing their final tour until at least 2018. The band will play Wolverhampton's Slade Rooms on Sunday as part of that tour.

They will play only four other dates, in Bristol, Brighton, Milton Keynes and Manchester, before a tour finale at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire.

The band plan to play hits from across their catalogue, from 2006's BRIT-nominated, Ivor Novello-winning Twelve Stops And Home right up to this year's acclaimed self-titled sixth album, which was praised as 'another tranche of top tunes'.

Frontman Dan Gillespie said: "We're not splitting up, but after 10 incredible years of doing this non-stop, we feel like now is a good moment to take a break and spend some time concentrating on our other projects. We want to make this tour a celebration of everything we've achieved so far. I really can't wait."
