The World Turned Upside Down
Two developments to share with y'all, both of which are awesome and mental in equal measure. First of all, I can finally announce that I shall indeed be playing at this year's Reading & Leeds Festivals. I'm on the Radio One / NME Stage, Saturday in Leeds and Sunday in Reading. I'm super happy about this fact, it's my favourite festival and the shows there the last two years have been nothing short of amazing, so I have high hopes for this year too.
Secondly, the Manchester Academy show in October (16th) is now totally sold out. That slightly blows my mind - we haven't even finished the new album yet, let alone started promoting it properly. This is the most tickets I've ever sold in Manchester, haha... I remember getting 60 people in for the Night & Day show a few years back and feeling like we'd done well. How times change. A bunch of the other shows on the tour are also, insanely, not far off.
The new album is sounding killer, incidentally. About half mixed now.

Holy crap! Sold out!
You may be in America, and approaching Paris Hilton levels of fame, but that is no excuse for using "super" as an adverb, Frank.
Well done btw, really pleased for you.
How close is the London show?
Standing tickets for the London show already showing up as sold out on a few sites.
Well done!
I'll be at the Manchester show; really looking forward to it! Great news too about the Reading/Leeds shows as the Glastonbury line-up this year is pretty shit imo.
Gonna be there for both, front and center at Leeds and Manchester.
seriously Frank, you've just totally made my week. Now I KNOW that this years Leeds and Reading will be awesome!
Congrats on being moved up to the second biggest stage as well! Be nice to see you on a stage big enough for the band to stretch their legs.
Manchester's going to be a good gig... remember we love you most up here!
I'm hoping Beautiful Days will knock Leeds & Reading (pah) off the top of your favourite festival list too.
Can't wait to see you at Reading Frank, the tent should be awesome
It still makes me laugh that i've seen you play in the back room of The Star in Guildford about 3/4 years ago to no more than 30 people and now you've sold out the Manchester Academy and are touring with the Offspring...you are a legend sir !
Think I must have had the final 4 Manchester tickets, having read your March 18 post yesterday!! Good times ahead!
gutted manchesters sold out was waiting till july after my holyday to buy a ticket, but i will some how be there :)
