The Feelers Return For First UK Tour In Over Two Years

After a two-year absence, The Feelers - one of New Zealand’s most successful bands - are bringing their guitar-fuelled brand of rock to the UK for a five-date tour this November.
Fans can expect to see their best live show yet, and the band are promising a full throttle spectacle that will include crowd favourites such as ‘Pressure Man’, ‘Venus’, ‘The Fear’, ‘Didn’t Want to Fall in Love’, ‘Blue Skies’, ‘Stand Up’, ‘Larger Than Life’, and ‘Supersystem’ to name just a few.
With three Silver Scroll awards for the most performed work on radio in New Zealand, five 1# albums, and twenty Top 40 singles, the band love playing their hits live as much today as when they first busked on street corners in their hometown of Christchurch twenty years ago.
Preparing for the tour, The Feeler’s drummer Hamish Gee said: “Over the years we have played some pretty special gigs in the UK but it's been over two years since we last played, so we're really looking forward to belting out a few new songs to the ex-pats and hopefully create some new Brit fans as well. Of course, we'll be performing all the hit songs The Feelers have released over the past fifteen years, too. We are amped and looking forward to playing some different venues. I think it's going to be a pretty special tour.”
The final date in Cardiff coincides with the All Blacks’ rugby match against Wales at the Millennium Stadium, so The Feelers are hoping they’ll be able to celebrate victory with many fellow Kiwis – and the All Blacks themselves - when they take the stage at the Great Hall 2 at Cardiff University.
Gee said: "We're bound to be hyped up for the show in Cardiff. We're going to the game soaking up the atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium and will hopefully be celebrating another stunning All Black win. We have sent out invites and rumour has it the AB's are attending our gig at Cardiff Uni afterwards, so the partying is likely to continue into the wee hours!”
