Last Chance To Dance shows take place next year as band say they’ve reached “natural end”

Funeral For A Friend have announced their farewell tour, after concluding they’ve reached a “natural end.”

Their Last Chance To Dance shows take place from February to April next year, with two shows in each location.

The first night of each pair will include a performance of 2005 album Hours, while the second will feature 2003 debut Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation.

Frontman Matthew Davies-Kreye says: “We’ve done everything we set out to do, and way more than I could ever have hoped for – so I’m not upset.

“We all felt that Chapter And Verse was a pretty decent full stop on an incredible 14 and a half years of making music together.”

Tickets go on sale at 10am on September 18 (Friday).
