Nine Top 20 singles. Half a decade of global touring taking in Singapore, Thailand, Australasia, Japan, America and every corner of Europe. Twenty plus magazine front covers in the UK. Headlining the NME Awards tour in 2005. Supporting the likes of Iron Maiden, Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance. Selling out the 8,000 tickets for an Alexandra Palace show in a heartbeat. Winning BT Digital Artist of the Year in 2007.

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND are truly a phenomenon.

Featuring thirteen new tracks, ‘Memory And Humanity’ draws fire from the muscular intensity of their earlier material and melds it seamlessly to the melodic intelligence of latter albums ‘Hours’ and ‘Tales Don’t Tell Themselves’. This album shows the band to be as incisively relevant as ever.

Support on the Welsh dates will come from Canadian metallers Cancer Bats and Welsh combo Attack Attack. The openers for each date are also outlined below.
