The ever popular band will be lighting up the Leeds Festival with a main stage appearance on Friday, August 22, when they will warm up the audience in great style for the later headline act Metallica.

And they are set for a return to Leeds in the autumn for a headlining gig of their own when they take to the Leeds Academy stage on Friday, November 7.

Tickets are available now from 0844 477 2000 or from Crash and Jumbo Records in Leeds.

Feeder have just released their sixth studio album, Silent Cry, to critical acclaim and top 10 success and will put out another new single, Tracing Lines, on August 11.

They also appear alongside the likes of The Cribs, Tom Smith from Editors, Jack Penate and The Futureheads on the Independents Day compilation album featuring independent artists covering other independent releases - Feeder tackle Public Image by PIL.

In the live arena they have always been a big attraction and their autumn tour will see them travelling the length and breadth of the country.

This is the band's first proper tour in almost three years and the dates will be fans' first chance to see the full new Feeder live show which will feature tracks from the band's 14 year history, including the likes of Buck Rogers, Just A Day, Tumble And Fall and Insomnia.
