The band said in a statement: “It feels pretty surreal to be celebrating 20 years of ‘Casually Dressed…’ already, but we’re looking forward to diving back into the record that changed everything for us, and to performing it front to back across the U.K. in October.”
Ahead of their UK tour, Funeral For A Friend will also be performing at a series of European festivals this summer. Tickets for all the shows are now on sale.
In February and March 2022, the highly-regarded Welsh post-hardcore outfit played their first full-scale tour since since their 2019 reunion, when they played a pair of charity shows in Cardiff and a third in London. To celebrate their return, the band performed material from their first three albums – 2003’s Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation, 2005’s Hours and 2007’s Tales Don’t Tell Themselves.
Funeral For A Friend were originally formed in Wales in 2001 around the line-up of Kris Coombs-Roberts: Guitar & Backing Vocals, Gareth Davies: Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals, Matt Davies: Vocals, Ryan Richards: Drums, Percussion & Vocals and Darran Smith: Guitar.
