Maccabees for Mandela
THE Maccabees are the headliners for the NME Tour which will be calling at the Mandela Hall on Monday, February 22.
2009 was a great year for The Maccabees with career-defining sets at Leeds and Reading Festival which had The Observer dubbing them “festival heroes” and NME reminding us “they’re probably the best home-grown indie rock band the UK has to offer right now”.
In ‘Wall of Arms’ they released one of the best-received albums of the year. The record entered the UK album charts at number 13 in May, winning praise across the board from fans and critics alike.
Felix White said: "We understand the legacy of this tour. The old NME tours years ago, if I missed one I'd think, s**t I'm never going to see that again. So that's a nice thing to be a part of. It looks like a good tour to me.”
Support is Two Door Cinema Club and Panama Kings.
Tickets, 20, are available from the usual outlets. Call 0844 847 2455 to book. Please note, doors will be at 6.30pm and first band is on at 6.45pm.
